Chapelwaite (2021) [Season 1, Episode 1]
Blood Calls Blood
Shown 22nd August 2021
This starts in 1817, in a remote house in Maine. A man tries to murder his wife and son - like in The Shining . Well, this has certain themes and tropes associated with Stephen King because it is adapted from the short story Salem's lot . This was already recently adapted in a modern-day setting in Castle Rock: Season 2 , but now this new version is in a historical setting.
Three decades after the introduction, the grown-up Captain Charles Boone (Adrien Brody - Predators ) has been widowered and left to raise three children alone. He takes his young family to live in his childhood home. Unfortunately it is an ill-omened house, with a creepy basement that should be locked at all times.
Rebecca Morgan ( Emily Hampshire ) is an aspiring writer with nothing to write about. Unfortunately there are few opportunities for female college graduates in rural New England in the 1850s. She takes a job as the Boone childrens' governess, the classic setup for a 1800s female-led novel of the type she wants to write.
There is a mysterious illness in the town, and everyone blames the Boone family. Is this a sign of the vampirism to come?

Shown 22nd August 2021
Captain Charles Boone (Adrien Brody - Predators ) pitches his expansion plan to the locals. If he builds ships, the town will become prosperous. However, their hatred for his uncle and cousin mean that they are prejudiced against him.
The children are victim to a different kind of prejudice. Even if their surname were not Boone, they would be outcasts for being halfcastes, Of course, the racism angle is unnecessary because they would still be bullied even if they could pass for white.
The drunken thug from the end of the previous episode has been declared missing by his wife. Of course, the Boones get the blame.
