Synopsis: Spoof horror film. A group of eccentric scientists gathers for an experiment in an old mansion where years before 18 people were killed in one night. The scientists plan to measure any strange activity in the house's atmosphere, unaware that the house harbours a group of killer pagan monks who follow a devil-worshipping alien 700 years old who takes the form of a sinister old man. Dressed as monks, these aliens try to scare the scientists away, but the scientists stay put despite some spooky experiences. Finally they are pursued by a set of alien doppelgangers of themselves, who try to give the humans violent deaths in order to 'cleanse' the house.
