Master of sci-fi Dan Smith delivers an action-packed thriller as secret organisation The Night House exposes the bloodcurdling truth of what lurks inside Dr Kilgore’s House of Horrors.
Deep in the Texan desert, the Slade family’s trip of a lifetime takes a terrifying turn when their car crashes on the highway. Stranded and alone, they’re picked up by passing trucker Sam, who leads them to a long-abandoned ghost town, Coyote Creek.
There the family are forced to enter Dr Kilgore’s House of Horrors, a nightmarish maze filled with sinister, all-too lifelike waxworks and bone-chilling secrets.
Will they find a way to escape or will they become the latest victims of the horrors that await?
