| Plot Summary of The Midnight Tour |
"The story revolves around 3 main individuals each with their own reasons why they are drawn to The Beast House. Dana, is a beautiful new tourguide. Sandy, a young ex-tourguide who has mothered a beast herself, leaves a path of destruction wherever she goes. Owen is a huge fan of the Beast House. As the story progresses you learn the history of the house and about the white skinned, hairless beast whose sexual appetite and features amongst other things, are quite interesting, not to mention bizarre. Believing that the Beast is dead, "watered down" tours of the house take place daily, but if you really want to see all the forbidden areas of the house you have to be on the Midnight Tour which takes place every week. 13 visitors enter the house hoping for thrills and scares, but this time.. they will be lucky if they ever come back out."
