Sir Borotyn, a prominent Prague resident, is discovered murdered in his home, with all indications pointing to a vampire assault. The victim's friend, Baron Otto, and the physician who analyzes the body, are certain that the vampire is the mysterious Count Mora or his daughter. Receiving little help from the law, Professor Zelen, an expert in the occult, is called in to assist with their investigation.

A horror mystery in which the ending feels like it should have a laugh track freeze-frame and the Seinfeld theme over the credits.

i loooove the atmosphere of this movie along with how everything looks. the graveyard scenes and the big castles it is so lovely. certain parts or scenes feel as though they go on for a little too long but!!!!! i did enjoy it anyway and i didn’t expect the twist at the end at all!!!
