Description[]

Citrusville is a rural community located in Cypress County, Florida. It is bordered by the Florida Everglades, which includes the Man-Thing's Swamp, as well as the mysterious Nexus of All Realities. Legends of the mysterious creature known as the Man-Thing circulated throughout the town's meager population, and the local sheriff, John Daltry, has had several encounters with the muck-monster himself. A young sorceress named Jennifer Kale resided in Citrusville with her family and attended the local college.

One of the more notable locales is the Roxie Theater, which is where Thog the Nether-Spawn came hunting for Jennifer and Andy Kale. This is also where the Kales first encountered the Man-Thing. ^[1]

When a middle-aged man brimming with machismo dubbed himself the Mad Viking, he killed a rocker named Eugene "Star" Spangler, which prompted Citrusville to enforce a mandatory curfew. A group of citizens banded together to stop the Mad Viking's murder spree. ^[2]

Citrusville High School: Citrusville High School was a public high school located in the town of Citrusville in Cypress County, Florida. Citrusville High School became the scene of noted controversey as several parents of attending students took umbrage with the school's curiculum, which included classes on sexual education. Olivia Selby, mother of student Carol Selby, believed that many of the school's teachings fell outside her strict Christian values. She founded the Mothers of Decency, and led a march on the school to burn offending text books. This scandel erupted into a larger conflagration when the presence of the cryptid known as the Man-Thing appeared, which coincided with a murder spree wrought by a middle-aged man who called himself the Mad Viking.
