The Nightshade Greenhouse Project

In the early thirties a botanist named Dr. Victor Lockwood made a breakthrough by cross breeding plants and introducing reptile genes to create vegetation with unique survival skills. His research earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

He became obsessed and worked feverishly on his project. The funds for his project were running out. He needed to explore new ways to finance this project. Victor, in partnership with the Crow Hollow Correctional Facility, started a prisoner rehabilitation program. He used the inmates to staff his greenhouse. Years went by while Dr. Lockwood cultivated his specimens.

Finally unveiling his new species he quickly learned that the world was far from ready to accept his mutations. He was shunned by the botany community. It was believed he destroyed his life’s work. The Nightshade Nursery doors were closed. Lockwood disappeared along with the inmates. Authorities were sent to  investigate the disappearance of the criminals. What they found was shocking!

Dr Lockwood was using a combination of decomposing human bodies and highly corrosive chemicals to create a super fertilizer that was piped throughout the
greenhouse to feed what could only be described as flesh eating plants. The inmate’s remains were discovered to be part of the new plant food. Several attempts to destroy the plants failed. The plants had developed an immune system which made them impervious to all forms of herbicide. The decision was made not to provoke the carnivorous plants. Sealing up the greenhouse trapping the monstrous foliage inside hoping to contain its grown was the only answer.

For over eight decades the contents of the Nightshade Green House was a mystery. Recently, the town of Crow Hollow decided to further investigate the contents of the Nightshade Greenhouse. All research is currently being done at night causing the behavior of the plants to be less aggressive. However, the danger is never eliminated. The plants can sense heat, movement, smell, touch and the softest of sound. So if you dare cross the threshold of the greenhouse we strongly urge you to exercise extreme caution and remember these plants are still growing, they haven't eaten in over 80 years!
