Witchboard 1987

In the midst of a lively house party in Fairfield, California, Brandon Sinclair (character not provided) unleashes his Ouija board alongside his ex-girlfriend Linda Brewster (character not provided). This attempt to reconnect with the spirit of David, whom they had previously communicated with, takes an unexpected turn when Jim Morar (character not provided), Linda’s boyfriend, dismisses David’s presence. The slight provokes a response from David, who retaliates by slashing the tires of Brandon’s car. The next day, Linda uses Brandon’s board to seek out David’s guidance, and he leads her to discover the location of her lost engagement ring.

As Jim navigates his daily routine at the construction site where he works alongside his friend Lloyd (character not provided), a tragic accident occurs when Lloyd is killed by falling drywall. Following this incident, Lieutenant Dewhurst (character not provided) questions Jim about the circumstances surrounding Lloyd’s death. Linda, meanwhile, begins to communicate with David once more, seeking answers and solace in her turbulent relationship with Jim. However, her interactions with the spirit take a dark turn as she becomes increasingly enthralled by his presence, exhibiting symptoms such as nausea.

As Jim and Linda’s concerns about Linda’s pregnancy grow, Brandon brings in psychic medium Zarabeth Crawford (character not provided) to conduct a séance and potentially exorcise David. During this ritual, Zarabeth channels David, who claims to be the spirit of a ten-year-old boy. This revelation sparks a sense of maternal protection within Linda, further entrenching her connection with David.

Following the séance, Zarabeth returns home, only to be brutally murdered - her throat slashed before she is hurled through a window and impaled on a sundial. The next morning, Brandon learns of Zarabeth’s death and suspects that David was responsible. However, Jim remains skeptical of these claims, unsure if he should believe the outlandish accusations made by his friend.

As Jim watches Brandon depart, a disturbing scene unfolds before his eyes: Linda’s violent thrashing against the wall, culminating in her unconscious state. The hospital confirms what had been speculated - Linda is not pregnant. Faced with this unsettling revelation, Jim joins forces with Brandon to delve into the enigmatic David, and their investigation uncovers a shocking truth: a 10-year-old boy named David who met his demise by drowning in a nearby lake a decade prior. Jim and Brandon attempt to communicate with David’s spirit once more, but instead, they discover that Linda has been tormented by Carlos Malfeitor, a malevolent entity with a dark history.

The tranquility of the dock is shattered when a precariously stacked pile of fishing barrels topples onto Jim, rendering him unconscious. Meanwhile, Brandon falls victim to Malfeitor’s brutal hatchet attack. As Jim regains consciousness, he mourns Brandon’s passing and becomes consumed by the mystery of Malfeitor. A thorough examination of Carlos’ past reveals that he was a notorious axe murderer shot down by police in his own home back in 1930 - eerily mirroring the residence shared by Jim and Linda.

The chaos escalates as Linda, recently discharged from the hospital, is brutally attacked by Malfeitor’s malevolent force. The following day, Jim returns to find their home in disarray, only to be assaulted by a possessed Linda. Dewhurst arrives on the scene, accusing Jim of the heinous crimes, but Linda seizes an opportunity to strike him down with a fire poker. As the situation spirals out of control, Jim brandishes his revolver and prepares for the worst.

However, instead of succumbing to despair, Jim shoots the planchette-laden board, which had been taunting him, and is subsequently propelled through a window, landing safely on a nearby car. In the aftermath of this ordeal, Jim and Linda, now freed from Malfeitor’s grasp, can finally rebuild their lives together, ultimately tying the knot in matrimony.

As they settle back into domesticity, Mrs. Moses, their landlady, stumbles upon the mysterious board while cleaning out their home with her granddaughter. She wonders aloud if its powers still linger, and as she casts a glance at the board’s planchette, it mysteriously moves to spell out the word “yes”, hinting that even in repose, Malfeitor’s dark energies continue to reverberate through the world.
