Firefly Summer Camp

"Sometimes I feel that these fireflies illuminating the way are like harbingers of our future in this place". - Ashley Murray

The Firefly Summer Camp is a dream-like summer getaway that will pull into a enigmatic experience and light the way into the darkness. It is the main location of Don't Let the Darkness Consume You.

History
In 1954, a group of people led by Charles Anderson and priest Father Vincent Campbell, began building a very extravagant summer escapade located in the redwood forest of Willow’s Bell. They were approached by professional hunter and neighbor Edward Sexton Church, who helped them to finish the last supplies. Campbell allowed Church to name what would be the Firefly Summer Camp, and soon he was offered a job as members of the camp, which he accepted. Guided by conservative and "enlightened" rules, Campbell has ruled peaceful times in the camp, and soon the camp's popularity bloomed.

Since 1970, the Fitzgerald family, composed by Alan, Janet, and their daughter Mary Jane, began working in the Firefly Summer Camp as forest ranger and camp counselor, respectively, while Mary Jane socialized with the other members of the camp. Janet noticed an incident that took place near the camp: a car crash where Vietnam War veteran Benjamin Franken was found injured, while another man who robbed the jewelry of the veteran's wife, Jessica, died in the crash. Janet and Alan went to successfully save Benjamin's life, who became a notable neighbor in the Firefly Summer Camp. Father Campbell has shocked about the Fitzgeralds bringing the good vibes and saving lives in the camp, leading the couple to be considered by Father Campbell to be the next owners of the camp when he passes away. This draw the hatred of Randy Cavanaugh (who was also considered to be owner), and plotted the death of the Fitzgeralds. However, Edward Sexton Church noticed this and protected the Fitzgeralds, specially Mary Jane, from Randy.

In October 25th, 1973, during the New Moon, the Firefly Summer Camp was the site of what is believed to be the worst summer camp massacre of all time. Randy killed all the counselors and forest rangers, including Alan and Janet and put the blame on Church by using his hunt veteran past. Church was captured and tried thanks to the key testimony of Abigail. Other people that survived, were Abigail Kraenen, Howard Maivia, Henry Smith, Father Campbell and Mary Jane, who all billed the event as the New Moon Massacre.

Ten years later, in 1984, Campbell vowed to make the Firefly Summer Camp a safe, pure, and decent place for the american children to escape to during the summer, in order to cleanse the awful legacy that the New Moon Massacre left. Campbell allowed Abigail and Randy to reopen the camp alongside their buddies Henry Smith and Howard Maivia, and included newcomer Valerie Fish, who works as a nurse. Soon after the Night Stalker began terrorizing the American West Coast with his first assaults and murders, Abigail and Randy answered the call from the Liars Club, who were searching jobs to start their mission to redeem their reputation and honor in society. The group of new counselors soon realized that there is something sinister about the camp.

One by one, the various staff members and counselors are killed in horrific ways by Randy, Valerie, the Night Stalker, and the Deer Hunter, as the secrets of the Firefly Summer Camp (including a returning camper and a twist in the story) come to the surface like bodies in the lake.

Randy takes the opportunity to blame her new murders on Casey Lombardi (who only killed Valerie in self-defense) while Edward Sexton Church and Richard Ramirez escape to Los Angeles in their own ways. Randy, Abigail and Jay Ambrose is considered to be the survivors of the 1984 massacre. Shawn, alongside the deceased William Sullivan, Matthew Barton, and Ashley Murray come to terms with their new ghostly condition. Meanwhile, Mary Jane, who was presumed to be dead after Randy pushed her off the Hollow Falls, survived after being found by a group of campers.

In the aftermath of the 1984 massacre, most of the ghosts and visitors (except Ashley Murray) began to develop a wrathful and malicious attitude and turning their backs against one and another, instigated by the influence of Randy. As Randy continued to rule over the camp, he planned the Hallows Eve Festival in 1987 to honor the victims of the previous massacres. However, Ashley was spying his real plans, and soon realized that he wants to continue killing innocent people.

Description
The Firefly Summer Camp is a big summer camp located inside a large redwood forest inside western Willow’s Bell, California. Inside the camp, there is a total of eight cabins: the Fox cabin for the girls, the Owl cabin for the boys, the bathroom and showers, the Boathouse, the Mess Hall and the Kitchen, the director's cabin, the staff's cabin and the infirmary. The showers are located near a big redwood tree. Near the director's cabin, there is a payphone. The summer camp earned it's name due to the impressive presence of fireflies during the night, and how the directors calls the staff and counselors "fireflies" due to their guidance to the residents.
