Plot:
Thirty years have passed since the grisly murder/suicide of Colin Childress, creator of the comic book, Cellar Dweller. But, as often happens to those ignorant of it, comic book artist Whitney Taylor is doomed to repeat history most grotesquely. Little does she know that her twisted renderings will soon reincarnate the bloody hysteria of Cellar Dweller.
