Nocturnal (web series)
Nocturnal is a supernatural serial drama in the tradition of the classic Dark Shadows and the more recent NBC serial Passions. The series premiered on the internet in March 2007, and new webisodes continue to appear every month on its eponymous web site.
Plot Synopsis
Shot on location in and around Pittsburgh, PA, (though the city has never been explicitly named) the series revolves around the mysterious circumstances surrounding the [...] of a young woman named Natalie Brew (who, curiously enough, has never appeared in a single webisode).
Not unlike Twin Peaks, the identity of Natalie's killer is one of the series' overriding mysteries. And, as a pair of police investigators discover, there is no shortage of suspects. Did she run afoul of the wealthy and powerful Hawthorne family—led by its patriarch Jebediah—whose power came as a result of dealings with dark forces? Or was she another in the seemingly endless victims of Dr. Ulrich Von Der Linn, a vampire masquerading as a hypnotherapist?
As with any continuing series of this nature, there is also a host of secondary characters with their own roles to play in the proceedings including Jebidiah's nephew, Frankie, a cursed musician; Aphonso Cristillo, a seer; Cherie Meadows, an alluring witch; and Jebidiah's son, Marcellus, who harbors his own dark secrets.
Production Credits
The series was created and by David Silvio, director and producer of the cannibal thriller Meat for Satan's Icebox (released through Troma Entertainment), and Joseph Bondi. The Series is produced by Kiss of Death Productions in association with Baywood Films. --Ddietz3 (talk) 20:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
