Bathorys Minions (Present Day)

Surviving the Horde + Things Man was Not Supposed to Know Back of the DVD The ancient demon Bathory has lain dormant for centuries. But now his evil power is seeping out, spreading death and decay in its wake. Bathorys accomplices are the innocent, pure and weak-minded - our children - who carry out the Nepharims biddings without feeling or compunction. Bathorys ambition: to create a Hell on Earth, starting with the town of Crystal Cave, South Dakota. Soon, the town is overrun by hordes of red-eyed, demon children intent on bloody murder. With nowhere else to turn, the residents of Crystal Cave will soon have to answer the question: how do you kill someone you love? Tense, horrific and full of impossible moral dilemmas. -Freaky Flicks A fully-realized vision of demonic horror. The children of Crystal Cave are terrifying. -Blood and Guts Illustrated The cackling of the kids of Crystal Cave will haunt my nightmares forever. Mike King, author of Thirty Ways to Die

Opening Credits The town of Crystal Cave, South Dakota. Early morning, before dawn. Main Street. The sky is dark and slate gray. A street lamp flickers and dies. Seen from behind: a young pair of legs walking slowly down Main Street. Then another pair. And another. And another.

A large group of children, nearly a hundred in number, is walking silently and steadily down Main Street. None are talking, and all are moving forward in the same slow, dragging cadence. An eerie drone builds. There is no one else in sight. Cut to:
