A few friends go to visit Muffy in her island mansion. There they encounter a strange murderer who goes on killing their friends. A few severed heads are found. Rob and Kit begin investigating the murders. They discover that Muffy has an insane twin sister, Buffy. They also discover that the person living with them till then was not Muffy.

This story line helped to make the movie a slasher. A slasher is a horror movie that consists of young teenagers or adolescents getting killed by an unknown assassin. A background of the assassin is provided. He is provided with a traumatic past that made him a killer. He is killed at the end of the movie. But then something happens that shows him to be alive and even more deadly.

Rob and Kit get scared. Kit is chased by the murderer and she runs into the living room where she finds, amazingly every one of their friends sitting. The whole thing was supposed to be a big practical joke for April Fool’s Day. This is why the movie was also categorized under the genre of comedy horror. Its unusual ending has led to a dilemma among horror movie fans.
