We're just a couple days away from the series premiere of Happy Town.

While other ABC mystery shows, such as V and FlashForward, have tanked in the ratings, the network hopes to hit a home run this time by sprinkling in suspense and horror to the town of Haplin, Minnesota.

That's where a slew of kidnappings many years ago have created an underbelly of fear among the city residents when Tommy Conroy moves in.

Starring Sam Neill, Geoff Stults, Amy Acker and Steven Weber, Happy Town introduces viewers to a bunch of shady, intriguing characters on its pilot episode. We'll review it in depth soon after it airs and encourage readers to give this new drama a shot.

Watch a couple of clips from the premiere now, and click on the following photos from it:

ABC has also released a new promo for the series. Check it out below.
