The premise

The mayor of a New England town resolves to turn it into the next tourist hot spot, despite local warnings that it's cursed.

Horror Vault's take

A well-meaning but ambitious mayor sets his sights on transforming a fog-shrouded New England fishing village into a thriving tourist destination — ignoring the uneasy warnings of locals who know the town carries a very old, very real curse. What begins as a clash between civic optimism and superstitious tradition quickly darkens into something far more unsettling. Widow's Bay blends dry wit with genuine dread, suggesting that some places resist reinvention for very good reasons.

It's time for the annual beach opening. Lay out a towel as the mayor "tests the waters." Unrelated: Do not pick up hitchhikers.
