CASTLE STALKER - They only showed up to party at the wake, but Dougal Stalker and his mates
become victims of an ancient curse on his family's castle – anyone who has the
misfortune to be in love becomes possessed and slaughters the object of their affection.

When his estranged Father dies, Dougal Stalker must return to his family castle in Scotland and put on a proper wake in order to claim his inheritance. He brings along his old college mates and a stash of liquor for good measure. But then Astrid, a sultry Swedish ghost hunter, unexpectedly arrives and warns of an ancient curse on the castle, which possesses anyone who is in love to brutally murder the object of their affection. The gang soon regrets scoffing at Astrid's warning, and before long, one of the party people turns up dead in the bathtub. Then things get stupid – really stupid. With the faithful crazed housekeeper, an heroic albeit drunken sea captain, two honeymooning Germans, and a couple of terribly cranky ghosts, Astrid and Dougal race through the castle struggling to lift the age-old curse and try not to fall in love.
