Dark of the Moon (1976) Poster 
"Dark of the Moon" is a drama set in the Appalachian Mountains, telling the story of John, a "witch boy" who falls in love with a human girl named Barbara Allen and attempts to become human to be with her, but ultimately faces tragic consequences due to the superstitious townspeople's hatred and interference with their love, often resulting in betrayal and death; the play is based on the haunting folk ballad "Barbara Allen.".
