Plot summary

A book of evil sits in a rundown house that a deceased uncle left to the Hyatts. John and Mary move in with daughter Debbie and son Billy, and the vampire Waldemar and his wife Yolanda want to get inside for that book. Billy finds it and reads that a curse hangs over the date Saturday the 14th. Each page he turns releases a monster from the page, materializing inside or outside the home, and the house is soon swarming with creatures. Eyes appear in John's coffee, sandwiches are eaten, dishes do themselves, dirt turns up in Mary's bed, and the television plays a single show, yet John and Mary suspect nothing.
