Urban legends-modern day folktales that seem to arise spontaneously and spread by word-of-mouth-range from the silly (metal tooth fillings receiving radio signals) to the sinister (alligators in the sewers of Manhattan). Students at New England's Pendleton College have an urban legend of their own-thirty years ago, an abnormal psych professor allegedly killed six students and then himself in Stanley Hall. These days, the gory incident is acknowledged each year with an urban legends costume bash. When a series of strange deaths occurs on campus, beautiful and assertive student Natalie suspects that they are murders based on urban legends. Her classmates, loyal Brenda, ambitious journalism major Paul, and school practical joker Damon, insist the deaths are just coincidences. When Natalie gets too close to discovering how the deaths are connected, she realizes she's the killer's next victim.
