Carnival of Craven - Part 1

On the anniversary of their ill-fated trip to Camp Craven, our favorite juvenile delinquents are invited to a mysterious indoor amusement park. One year older (and a little better prepared), our troubled teens head to the park to find out if lightning ever strikes the same kids twice.


Featuring returning guest player Imani Russell as Zora Lee Copeland, and played in Monster of the Week by Michael Sands.
