description: A freak storm decimates the population of a remote village in the Catskill Mountains. As the local authorities investigate they begin to suspect there's more at work than unseasonable weather. Their inquiries lead them to an abandoned mansion from the days when New York was a Dutch colonial territory. Is the old mansion haunted by the victim of a tragic murder? Are strange wild animals roaming the surrounding woods preying on human victims? Or could there be more terrible forces at work lurking unseen in the foreboding back woods?Adapted from H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Lurking Fear.
