What happens

Terror at Red Wolf Inn (also released as Terror House and The Folks at Red Wolf Inn) is a 1972 American horror film directed by Bud Townsend, and starring Linda Gillen, John Neilson, and Arthur Space. The plot follows a young college student who wins a vacation to a rural resort run by an elderly couple who serve meals of human flesh. Though it contains prominent horror elements, critics and scholars have noted the film as being an early example of comedy horror due to its "tongue-in-cheek" humor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
