GHOST TOWN

 

On a chilly autumn afternoon in the Yukon goldfields, a group of present-day prospectors are making their way back to base. As evening falls, a spectacular display of the Northern Lights appears in the sky.

 

On a chilly autumn afternoon in the Yukon goldfields,  a group of present-day prospectors are making their way back to base. As evening falls, a spectacular display of the Northern Lights appears in the darkening sky, and the magnetic storm scrambles their GPS.

 

Realising they're totally lost, the prospectors decide to seek shelter, and by the light of the shimmering display they make out a group of buildings. This turns out to be a ghost town left from the Klondike Gold Rush, which now seems to be totally abandoned.

 

They decide to pass the night in the town's deserted Vaudeville Theatre. But, although it’s abandoned, and nobody lives there, the town isn’t quite as deserted as it first appears. Things start to happen in the theatre, and the prospectors get the heebie-jeebies when they remember that tonight is the 31st of October.
