The pair's tragic past haunts an equally spooky present: Amid Eden's suspicious behavior and her mysterious house guests, Will becomes convinced that his invitation was extended with a hidden agenda.

Director Joe Magna has spent over 30 years of his life studying and obsessing over horror films to extract all of the best ingredients for the cinematic concoction that is Dummies. He more recently was the Scare Consultant on Blumhouse’s Hellevator, was brought on to Direct a segment for the Soska Twins’ Women in Horror Month Massive Blood Drive PSA, the surreal slasher short, 13 Doors: American Giallo and segments for We Are Indie Horror.

Five years ago, Writer/Director Joe Magna and his team, Cinematographer Ryan Anderson and Producer Joshua Komer combined efforts and created Pinstripe Motion Pictures to bring content to life with DUMMIES being the cornerstone. More recently they partnered with Producer/Actress Cimcie Nichols. After much planning and pre-production, Pinstripe Motion Pictures is ready to terrify the world with the full-length feature film, DUMMIES.

On the same date the Dummies arrive, Sean's older sister, Jess is having a Slumber Party at their house. After the girls use an Ouija Board, strange things begin to happen and one by one, Jess' friends turn up Dead.
