Christopher, a solitary meter maid, stumbles upon an invitation for a Halloween costume party named “Murder Party” while walking down the street. Excited, he ingeniously crafts a knight costume from cardboard and heads to Brooklyn to join the festivities, only to find that the event is a trap set by a group of unhinged art students. Dressed in bizarre costumes, the group includes Paul, who portrays a gothic vampire, Macon as a werewolf, Sky as a zombie cheerleader, Lexi, reminiscent of Pris from Blade Runner, and Bill, embodying a character from The Warriors.
