Sylvan or Silvan refers to an association with the woods. Specifically, that which inhabits the wood, is made of tree materials, or comprises the forest itself. The term can also refer to a person who resides in the woods or a spirit of the wood. In mythology, the term also refers to deities or spirits of the woods.
The term in English is from the Latin silva meaning "forest, woods." This root is found in place names in Canada such as Sylvan Lake [1] (as in wooded lake) in Alberta, Sylvan Valley Regional Park Reserve in Saskatchewan, and in the United States like Pennsylvania (lit. "Penn's woods") and Spotsylvania. The first names Sylvester and Sylva(i)n, and the female name Sylvia/Silvia, are also from the Latin word.
In the Chronicles of Narnia, silvans are tree spirits, appearing primarily in the fourth book of the series, Prince Caspian. In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth books, there is a division of Elves residing in forested realms referred to as Silvan Elves.
In the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game, Sylvan is the language of all magical creatures associated with the wilderness, such as fairies, dryads, centaurs and such.

Plot: "Good Grief" is a loose version of the "Peanuts" gang (notice the names) as high school kids who are into role play games. A group of seniors who have been into a fantasy role playing game named Monsters & Mayhem has begun to expand into normal teen activities, but Chuck wants the gang to stick with the games. Chuck has the idea to use their spring break to go off on a real treasure hunt for a golden statue that was buried for a publishers publicity stunt and never found. He also is motivated by the fact that he needs the money to go somewhere better than community college so that he won't be bothered by the jocks from his school that will be attending there. With help from another meek member, he convinces the gang to change the plan of renting beach condos to the treasure hunt. Chuck's crush Loris gets her boyfriend and former group member Magnus to drive his car on the trip. They get away from home, relax, but then more jocks hassle the group, and most of that as usual is directed toward Chuck. His later response to the jocks is awash in a fog of reality and the game, but he learns to defend himself. As the search for the statue becomes hopeless, he remembers that there is another way to find the statue, and it is his humility that gets him what he really needed all along.

Plot: An airplane carring coffee beans from South America has some unpleasant stowaways: a hoard of tarantulas which overcome the pilots as the airplane is flying over an orange-producing town in California. The airplane crashes, and the unlucky inhabitants of the town release the poisonous spiders into their midst. Once the town's officials discover that the tarantulas are responsible for several deaths, the tarantulas have already descended upon the town's only orange-processing factory. The town's citizens risk their lives to remove the tarantulas from the factory while the poisonous pests are rendered motionless by the transmitted sound of buzzing bees.
