Spend the Weekend at Point Pleasant

Looking for an unusual place to spend this holiday weekend? Why not visit Point Pleasant. It’s a lovely beach town, quiet, quaint — just be careful not to trip over the dead bodies as you make your way around.

It’s a Point Pleasant marathon on Chiller and you’re invited to stay on for five previously unaired episodes which answer all of the questions that were left when the show was abruptly canceled by Fox.

When the story opens, Christina (Elisabeth Harnois) washes up on the beach and is rescued by lifeguard Jesse. He takes her to the home of the town’s doctor (Richard Burgi) where she becomes friends with the doc’s daughter Judy (Aubrey Dollar). Christina has no memory of who she is but it soon becomes clear that she’s connected to pure evil and evil wants her back.  Grant Show is marvelous as the charmingly devilish Lucas and look for Cameron Richardson, Harper’s Island’s Chloe, playing Jesse’s girlfriend.

Buffy’s Marti Noxon was the show’s executive producer and though it’s a little slow to get started, it really packs a punch in the later episodes. My favorite episode is “Last Dance” which juxtaposes the past and the present as a dance marathon turns deadly.

It all begins on Saturday, July 4 at 11:00 AM on Chiller
