DARKNESS FALLS, set in a remote town of the same name, begins with the foreboding dramatization of a local fairy tale. According to the story, Matilda Dixon, an old woman who serves as the town's resident tooth fairy, is severely burned in a fire, and thereafter wears a porcelain mask to protect her face from pain of light. One day, two children are discovered missing, and the townspeople wrongfully accuse Matilda. She is quickly lynched, but vows revenge upon the children of Darkness Falls. As the first story concludes, another begins: Kyle, a young boy, loses his last baby tooth, and nervously enters sleep, afraid the tooth fairy may visit. He is warned not to look at her but does exactly that when Matilda arrives, catching a glimpse of the porcelain mask that will haunt him forever. Kyle eludes death by finding refuge in the bathroom light, but his mother is yanked into the darkness and murdered.
