In the summer of 1984, five friends escape Los Angeles to work as counselors at Camp Redwood. As they adjust to their new jobs, they quickly learn that the only thing scarier than campfire tales is the past coming to haunt you.
This was a really great first episode that mostly just focused on developing some of the characters and the environment they are in. Two of these characters were interesting in the reasons why they decided to leave and escape to the wilderness. Xavier choosing to leave to escape from some kind of stalker coming for him which I'm excited to see develop in the future. Then Brooke leaving LA to escape the Night Stalker was such a great moment to bring the Night Stalker back from Hotel. The whole backstory around the camp was interesting with this supposed groundskeeper known as Mr. Jingles going mad and killing a cabin of campers then escaping from a mental institute the night of the camps reopening. I'm very interesting to see if Mr. Jingles is really the killer or if the new head of the camp is and Mr. Jingles got that blame. I really loved all the 80's horror movie stereotypes that played into this episode and I want to know if there going to stick to those stereotypes or flip the table and do something different. Then just overall this was a fun first episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
