Summer of Night

In the sun-drenched summer of 1960, the idyllic small town of Elm Haven, Illinois, becomes the backdrop for an unforgettable and terrifying ordeal. Five twelve-year-old boys—Mike, Duane, Dale, Harlen, and Kevin—are living out the last vestiges of childhood innocence, their days filled with bike rides, secret clubhouses, and unbreakable bonds of friendship. However, this nostalgic peace is shattered when the long-silent bell of the decrepit Old Central School inexplicably tolls in the dead of night. This ominous peal signals the awakening of an ancient, malevolent force stirring within the school's shadowy depths, a place redolent with the 'mahogany scent of coffins.' As inexplicable and horrifying events begin to plague Elm Haven, spreading a creeping terror among its inhabitants, the boys realize that something profoundly evil has taken root. Stripped of their carefree days, these young friends must confront an invisible, arcane abomination that owns the night, forcing them to wage a desperate and bloody war to save their town, their very souls, and the precious summer that holds their innocence hostage.
