"Deep in the woods, lurks a hideous evil… don't even whisper his name!"

On their last night at summer camp a group of horny teens are treated to a terrifying tale around the campfire. The camp director tells them the legend of Madman Marz, a quiet farmer who went berserk and slaughtered his family. As the story goes, the locals hanged Marz only to find that his body had disappeared when they returned to the site the next day. From then on anyone who dared to say his name above a whisper ended up saying hello to the business end of his axe. Of course one of the teens starts shouting the forbidden name out into the woods and soon after the campers meet their grisly ends one-by-one.
