About This Film
enetrating deep into the heart of cold, mid-19th century Transylvania, the unappreciated genius and feeble vampire hunter, Professor Abronsius, is unaware that he is on the point of reaching the goal of his mysterious investigations. Accompanied by his one and only faithful disciple, Alfred, the intrepid duo ends up in the grim, impregnable castle of the local vampire lord Count von Krolock, shortly after the unaccountable disappearance of a hapless curvaceous maiden. Now, as logic gives way to sheer terror, the castle's horrible inhabitants start sharpening their teeth. But the haughty aristocrat's stone-walled lair is no place for mere mortals. Can the fearless investigators of the unknown survive the macabre dance of the vampires and live to tell the tale?
