“Can we go back to some place that resembles civilisation?”

Boyd Stevens is the Sheriff of a small American town. It’s a simple life for the town’s folk, there’s a diner, a nearby farm, a clinic for any ailments and a house up on a hill. Everything is perfect…until the Sun goes down and monsters come out of the woods.

The Matthews family are embarking on a camping trip in their trusty RV, but their travel plans are scuppered when they come across a fallen tree. Seeking a route back to the highway, they come across Boyd and the town’s people and look to them for help & directions.

As they go round in circles, a near miss with another vehicle changes everything.

Also on this episode: Harold Perrineau’s long overdue Introduction Biography, TV driving pet peeves, future bonus episodes? Where to find ‘Fromville’, The Shining references? I flip flop on the pronunciation of one of the character’s names while also busting out a little bit of Latin and why the hell don’t the town’s people just move away?

All of this and more on this special bonus episode, Outside Oz #6
