About this Event

“A twisty marriage of classic Southern Gothic with modern found footage, Ninety-Eight Sabers satisfies that insatiable craving for humid, sweat-soaked antebellum ghost stories updated for the new century!” —Bitter Karella, author of @Midnight_Pals

Ninety-Eight Sabers

The Trenholm clan helped found Lower Congaree, South Carolina. Their land is cursed.

Their abusive patriarch has croaked. Only heirs who attend the funeral will inherit. But when Truluck Trenholm suffered his eventually-fatal stroke, oldest son Ash turned the haunted plantation into an enormously successful reality show—with all the attendant ethical issues of profiting off its legacy. Forced to tolerate the intrusion of California producers, grip guys, and cameras, toting a ton of childhood trauma, Ash’s brother and cousins have plenty of animosity for each other, along with a strong aversion to the paranormal shenanigans of their childhood home. But when Truluck’s funeral goes pear-shaped and the cousins are cut out of his will, Hollywood producers offer the deal of a lifetime: they’ll turn the Trenholms into witchy Kardashians with a Southern drawl.

If the cousins walk away, they’ll lose everything. But the farm’s high strangeness keeps getting stranger. Something’s happening on Cypress Bend. And filming makes it worse…

Ready, set, action...
