It’s 1956 and the entire suburban town of Plainview, CT is gathered at the big East vs. West basketball game, when they’re interrupted by an air raid siren that sends everyone running to the nearest fallout shelter. Ten strangers—among them a greaser, a beatnik, and a Romanian exchange student with an unfortunate accent—hide in one of these fallout shelters, and the tension is high as the disparate group struggles with the reality of their situation. But they quickly discover that they have a more immediate problem than nuclear war—they’ve locked themselves in with a VAMPIRE! Unable to risk going out into the sunlight because of the air raid, they must figure out who among them is the bloodsucker before it’s too late. RED SCARE is a comedic murder mystery told in eight 5-8 minute episodes. It combines the suspense and paranoia of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, the period fun of Pleasantville, and the dark wit of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (Also the vampire part.) Though RED SCARE was written specifically for the web, the story is structured like a traditional TV mini-series. Each briskly-paced episode builds to a thrilling cliffhanger ending that will leave audiences anxious to see the next installment.
