3 Male 8 Female

In this cheerily goofy spoof, new bride Daphne is brought to Brackenloch the day after her husband Jabez Thorngall lost his first bride to the family curse which warns any bride at Brackenloch Manor is doomed to die on her wedding day

At the bottom of the bracken-fringed Scottish loch which gives the manor its name, lurks "Bracky" who is not a monster to take lightly

The murder of Jabez's father six years earlier remains unsolved and family disappearances create further mysteries

Also missing is the Strong Wong, a Hong Kong tong gong thong which is used to hang above the crossed claymores above the fireplace

Potential suspects include the housekeeper, the maid, the sister, the cook, the handyman, the aunt, the sexy female neighbor, and the cast-off sweetheart of Jabez who thought she would be the new bride

Suspicion and danger are omnipresent and audiences love every minute of this thriller
