Two young couples are in a field writing about strange and offbeat roadside attractions. On their journey, they meet Captain Spaulding, who tells them the legend of Dr. Satan, finishing by telling them about the tree from which he was hanged.

When their car breaks down, Baby invites them to her house; but they are about to discover some very dark secrets lurking in the Firefly family...

* {{Bowdlerise}}: This film suffered from it from big time. A lot of the gore didn't make it into the movie since it was made around the time of the Columbine massacre and the Lieberman commission, which caused Universal and MGM to balk at it. The 16-32 minutes of gorier footage (supposedly) got lost in the process
