As told by Diora Baird

“You need to stop masturbating,” the doctor says. The man asks, “Why?” The doctor replies, “Because I’m trying to examine you.”

About the jokester: Twenty-five-year-old Diora Baird won our hearts when she dusted off a classic George Carlin bit about getting on a plane versus getting in a plane (punch-line spoiler: less wind). She sounded like Christopher Walken impersonating Carlin, but we laughed anyway. “Everyone’s always surprised that I’m funny,” she admits. “They say it with a question mark: ‘You’re funny?’” This month, Baird is funny as a woman on a terrible first date in My Best Friend’s Girl, and next year she’ll be funny-looking in J.J. Abrams’s Star Trek. She plays the Green Girl, an alien temptress from the original series. Chances of her tempting Spock? Slim. “I think Spock’s gay. But I’m not supposed to be outing Spock in Esquire.”

Synopsis

Maddie Curtis and her friends Lilly and Suzanne are ready for a great Halloween night. They’re going to a party thrown by their friend Angela at the notorious Broussard Mansion in New Orleans. Over eighty years ago, six people disappeared from the mansion without a trace – and the owner, Evangeline Broussard, hung herself.

The dark history only serves to enhance the Broussard Mansion’s appeal on Halloween. At the decadent, out-of-control party, Maddie and Lily run into their exes, Colin and Dex, while Suzanne parties it up. Good times end, however, when the police bust up the party. After the rest of the guests leave, Angela, Maddie, Lily, Dex, Colin, Suzanne and their friend Jason discover a horrible secret. Their cell phones don’t work. The mansion gates are now mysteriously locked. Soon it becomes clear that supernatural forces are at work at the Broussard Mansion, and that there may be more to the tale of Evangeline Broussard than anyone knew.

It turns out that the Broussard Mansion is home to demons that need to possess seven vessels to break free of an ancient curse. One by one the guests fall victim, transforming into hideous creatures. Only Maddie, Colin and Jason remain – but can they make it through the night and keep evil forces from spreading into the world?
