Plot Overview

Notes

Demon of the Week

  • Originating in Herzegovina, the Dubik was a tree where those condemned to death were hung. It fed on their blood and eventually started attracting victims by itself. At night it exudes a hallucinogenic that conjures up images of their beloved dead to passersby, who it then drains of their blood. Even after the tree has been cut down, its wood continues to feed on the unwary.
