Read more about The Vampire at: Wikipedia Official Site: NBC The Sacrifice is the first episode of the television series Fear Itself, the episode originally aired on June 5, 2008. It was based on Del Howinson's short story titled "The Lost Herd". The plot revolves around four men who become stranded in an old fort, to find that it is home to an ancient vampire. Four criminals are hiding from the cops after a robbery. Navarro is injured from a bullet wound. Soon, they discover a seemingly abandoned town. Three beautiful sisters, Chelsea, Tara, and Virginia live there with Reverend, an old man who stays in bed all day. Chelsea nurses Navarro by stitching up his wound, then sews his mouth shut. Point, the leader of the criminals, has suspicions about the women, while his younger brother Lemon and partner Diego, are infatuated with them. Virginia asks Diego to help her with something in the barn; she points to a blanket on the floor, and Diego gets her drift. He steps on the blanket and falls into a deep pit, and Virginia shuts the metal door. He uses his lighter to look for an escape but finds a skull and begins to panic. The metal door then opens, Diego looks up hopefully but screams in terror instead as something jumps in the pit and devours him. Virginia then turns to Lemon (AKA Lemuel), luring him into the skin house and seducing him. He is then knocked out and wakes up hanging upside down by a chain among the skinned rabbits. Point has had enough of the women's secrets and finds Navarro dead from a stake in the heart. He hears a strange growling and helps the Reverend, who is chained to his bed. The creature drags the Reverend by the chain out of sight and kills him. Point goes to find Lemon. Chelsea discovers the Reverend is dead and begins to cry as his corpse rises up behind her, she whispers a prayer and then swings an ax at him, cutting off his head.
