Returning from the first film as a character is the nervous deputy, now working as a private investigator by day, while doing his own side investigating into the Bughuul phenomenon in his spare time, hoping to extinguish spots where evil has taken place by burning them down before it comes back. His hunt takes him to an Illinois countryside where a mother named Courtney and her young twin sons Dylan and Zach are unknowingly residing in a farmhouse next to an abandoned church where demonic ritualistic murders occurred while she hides out from her abusive ex-husband, who wants his kids back. Naturally, or supernaturally, the ghosts of Bughuul's victims communicate daily with the sensitive Dylan, giving fair warning through a collection of reel-to-reel home movies and (now) vinyl records kept in a trunk that about the consequences of the return of the malevolent spirit -- or, perhaps, facilitating it by seducing the lad to commit the sadistic acts depicted himself. Even old Ham radios become conduits for dastardly evil spirits -- remember kids: analog is evil!
