Blue and Herschel, two bumbling losers, seek a cursed treasure buried beneath their middle school, but there is one problem; It’s haunted by those who tried… and died in their attempt to get the treasure for themselves!
“AT AMBERLINE MIDDLE SCHOOL THERE’S MORE THAN ONE THING THAT GOES BUMP IN THE NIGHT…

What nightmares guard the treasure? The kind to give our heroes one bad case of the Heebie Jeebies!
