Dark Town
Screened: Friday, May 7, 2004

On a cold, dark night, the Armstrong family presses on with plans to celebrate the birthday of their patriarch, Curtis Armstrong. But when Armstrong returns, he is different — infected with an ancient plague that corrupts the soul. Their home soon becomes a den of vampires, and walking unaware into this situation are estranged daughter Jen, her lover Lisa, and an angry young man named Rakeem and his gun-toting buddies, intent on revenge. However, the would-be avengers soon become the hunted.
