Synopsis
Anthony Monday couldn't see why Miss Eells was so excited about the lamp she had bought; it was just an oil lamp with pictures painted on the base. Little did the two of them know that it was stolen from the underground tomb of Willis Nightwood, a dabbler in the occult and black arts. When Anthony lights the lamp, monstrous forces are unleashed -- forces bent on destroying the world. Can Anthony and Miss Eells stop this satanic power before it destroys the world?
