About this episode

Summer is a time for vacation and relaxation. The weather brings trips to the beach, summer camp, an oasis of sun and play. But the kind of heat this summer can make some people go crazy. And it’s the kind of heat that can summon the devil.

Followed by a desperate plea from the dead

Then, hide and seek gone devastatingly wrong

Finally in our featured story, theatre turns from drama to tragedy in one night
