In present day, a young newlywed couple who are horror fans explore the now-abandoned Briarcliff Manor, a former insane asylum. Flashback to 1964 shows Kit Walker being committed there, accused of being infamous serial killer "Bloody Face". Kit protests his innocence and flashes of his scattered memory suggest something far more sinister responsible. At Briarcliff, Kit befriends Grace, a fellow inmate believed to have murdered her family, though she also maintains her innocence. Journalist Lana Winters trespasses onto Briarcliff, intent on exposing its mistreatment of inmates. She is confronted by the tyrannical Sister Jude, who has her committed to the asylum because of her homosexuality. A bitter rivalry is ignited between Sister Jude and Dr. Arthur Arden, who uses torture and murder in his quest to discover the secret of madness he believes lurks in every human brain. In present day, the lovers are attacked and pursued through Briarcliff by Bloody Face.

"Bloody Face" kills people in both time periods, present and 1964. An exorcist is called to the asylum after a teenager's behavior goes beyond clinical help; he is possessed. The ritual gives Lana and Grace a chance to escape, but Lana, who feels betrayed that Grace wants Kit to go with them, foils the plan by getting Grace and Kit caught. The possessed teenager exposes Sister Jude's dark past that haunts her to this day, revealing that she used to be a sleazy bar singer who accidentally ran over and killed a little girl while drunkenly smoking and driving. The teenager dies after the demon exits his body during the exorcism and enters Sister Mary Eunice instead.

In the present, Teresa and Leo are shot by men in Bloody Face masks, who are then approached by another Bloody Face. In 1964, the possessed Sister Mary Eunice begins her corruption of the asylum. She kills a patient who senses that she is possessed, tries to seduce Dr. Arden, and drives Sister Jude nearly insane by hinting at her past transgressions. Grace, Kit, and Lana attempt to escape the prison during a storm but retreat after crossing paths with the Raspers. Shelly wishes to escape with them but is stopped by Dr. Arden, who knocks her out and partially amputates both her legs.
