TA-DA

There are two things I know to be true. Everyone loves Halloween and everyone hates clowns.

If a clown knocks on your door on Halloween night, do you open it? You shouldn’t.

At a high school house party on Halloween night, Payton, dressed as a cheerleader and her costumed friends are visited by a bizarre clown who possesses real magic. TA-DA the clown communicates through written cards and performs sleight of hand magic tricks, but is seemingly bad at them. After a failed magic trick in which the teens laugh at him, TA-DA runs away in shame. Elliott, dressed as a Pirate, takes the trash out after losing a bet, and is surprised by TA-DA performing more tricks. TA-DA continues his tricks for the teens throughout the night. As his tricks grow deadlier, Payton must find a way to stop him or will she become his victim?
