Dracula and Lenore
escape through the Black Mirror into a ruined chapel on the English moors but
they don’t notice that they have been observed by a shaggy deformed monster.
The vampires split up to hunt for prey: Dracula feeds on a servant girl whose
body afterwards is hidden by the mystery creature. Lenore preys on a young man
in a nearby village….
Frank Drake, Rachel van Helsing
and Taj Nital, on Dracula’s trail, emerge from the Black Mirror at
the Strangway home but learn he did not emerge from this mirror. They meet
Inspector Chelm who informs them of a mysterious murder on the moors—and the
sighting of a shaggy deformed monster. The heroes meet with Lord and Lady
Dering who describe their missing servant girl and Rachel tells them they
suspect a vampire; the Derings look relieved. While investigating the moors,
Rachel spies a bat heading for the chapel and pursues and she is trapped by
Lenore; her scream brings Frank and Taj face-to-face with Dracula. Frank fires
the crossbow but Dracula pulls Lenore in front of him and she takes the deadly
bolt. Dracula flees, leading them toward a death trap, unaware that he is being
followed by the shaggy deformed monster ….
The heroes have
discovered the body of the missing servant girl and return to the Dering home.
Lord Dering decides to reveal that he and his wife have a son named Randolph
who was born with Rachitis and Nevus Pilosis which made him a shaggy deformed
monster; he lives in the ruined chapel and the dead servant girl took him his
food. Lord Dering also suggests that the vampire has gone to Hagscroft Castle
for its burial vault. So, they go there and find Dracula waiting for them. He
opens a pit, bashes Taj in the head with the heavy lid, tosses Rachel and Frank
in and replaces the lid. Knowing Taj couldn’t lift the lid, Rachel and Frank
assume they are doomed and confess their love for one another. But Randolph,
the shaggy deformed monster, lifts the lid and helps them out. As they cross
the moors with their new friend, Frank knows that his vampire heritage will
prevent any real relationship with Rachel….
