Summary
“Three Skeleton Key” is a horror story set during
the late 1800’s in a lighthouse some twenty-odd
miles off the coast of South America. The
nightmare begins when the three lighthouse
keepers realize that a derelict sailing ship heading
straight for their tiny, rocky island is filled with
thousands of giant rats…”
