Step back into the summer of 1954, when small-town America seemed safe, simple, and eternal—or so it appeared.

In this Darkmyre original, two boys—Eddie Marshall and Tommy Greaves—set out on a weekend camping trip beyond the edge of their Midwestern hometown. With Schwinn bicycles, hot dogs on sticks, and a worn copy of Tales from the Crypt, it feels like pure adventure, the kind kids had in the days when parents didn’t hover and the only rule was “be home before dark.”

But the woods hold something older than campfires and comic books.
Blending 1950s Americana nostalgia with chilling vampire folklore, this episode delivers a tale of boyhood freedom, creeping dread, and the shadows that follow us long after childhood ends.

If you love classic horror, eerie nostalgia, and slow-burn suspense, this is a story you won’t forget.
