Passing through the
Black Mirror, Dracula and Taj Nital arrive in a shadow dimension inhabited by demonic
monsters; Dracula fights them off while keeping Taj safe as his food supply.
Presuming there must be other mirrors serving as portals to the demonic realm,
Dracula searches until he spies a tomb marked by burning corpses. Inside he
finds a portal and pushes Taj ahead of him into a cemetery in Transylvania;
Dracula places the unconscious Taj into a heavy sarcophagus and sets out to
learn what year he is in. Spying a horse-drawn carriage he infers he is near
his own century and he preys upon a young maid for sustenance before seeking
out his enemy Professor Abraham van Helsing. Discovering that van Helsing is
away in Budapest, Dracula heads to his castle to lie in his coffin until the
next night. The nearby villagers find the dead maiden and storm Castle Dracula,
unfortunately delaying the expedition until sunset when Dracula is awake and
easily able to fight them off….
Back in the
twentieth century, Frank Drake and Rachel van Helsing discover the magic book
that reveals the incantation that opens the Black Mirror. Believing that
Dracula would likely return to his own earlier days, they step through into 19th
century Transylvania and free Taj from the sarcophagus. Learning that Dracula
is indeed there and very likely to take revenge against Prof. van Helsing, they
plan to go to the Professor’s house to warn him but Dracula has seen them from
his castle and breaks open the Bottle of Blood, freeing Lenore, a vampire he
imprisoned there long ago, and he dispatches her to deal with the
vampire-hunters. As the heroes are crossing a cemetery, Lenore attacks and
seeks to drink Rachel’s blood; Frank and Taj break off a stone cross from a
tombstone and use it to chase the lady vamp away. Dracula attacks van Helsing
in his home but the heroes arrive and Dracula takes bat form to evade Rachel’s
arrows. Dracula meets up with Lenore and they go through the Black Mirror with
their enemies right behind them….
