What started as a simple Halloween festival organized by the students of Fearwood High has turned into a night of terror. As part of the festival, the students decided to turn their school into a haunted house. But after accidentally summoning dark spirits on Devil’s Night, those plans took a horrifying turn. Now, the spirits have taken over, twisting the school into a real-life nightmare. As you explore the haunted house, you’ll encounter the true horrors unleashed by last year’s mistake. Welcome to “Fright Fest at Fearwood High,” where the festival’s haunted house has become a terrifying reality.
