If you are looking for inspiration on how to turn this into a DL/HoE
adventure, another place to turn for inspiration is the 80s vampire film
"The Lost Boys," which is built out of the Peter Pan story.

Also, one of the undercurrents of the Peter Pan (which is difficult to
catch if you aren't looking) story is that Peter is Pan (the satyr-god out
of Greco-Roman myth) and is just barely pre-pubescent.  If you get the
novel, look at the number of time little girls squirm with excitement.

Hope these help.
