Dracula senses the
evil of the mansion on Satan’s Hill he has entered. The captive Topaz tells him
how she was seized by the crimson tentacles and brought there to be dressed in
a purple toga; she tells him the house is the doorway to Hell….
The hypnotized Frank Drake
arrives at the house and enters; Rachel van Helsing, concerned about
Frank, arrives but the door will not open for her. Janus too arrives and
awakens Frank out of his trance and they encounter Dracula and Topaz. The house’s
unseen master addresses them, telling Dracula he has blasphemed his Master too
often and must now be humbled and destroyed. Janus represents all that the
Master loathes, source of his hatreds and fears. Frank represents all the
weaknesses of mankind. Topaz will be a threat to the Master should she learn to
harness her empathic powers properly. And they are here to play a game of life
and death. Suddenly they are transported to a crowded arena presided over by
the red tentacled monster. The monster explains that Dracula and Janus might
now fight to the death—and if Janus dies, Topaz will die with him. Instead,
father and son jointly attack the monster but their powers are curtailed and
they are nearly killed before they can break free. The monster surrounds them
with a ring of fire; Janus reveals that the unseen Master is Satan himself and
that they are being forced to fight. So, Janus attacks Dracula, professing his
love for his father while apparently killing him with his eye beams. The
monster is distraught as Dracula was supposed to be the victor. Janus sets it
ablaze with his eyes and the illusion is dispelled, the group finding
themselves back in the mansion. The enraged Dracula picks up a wooden stake and
kills the burning monster. The house is ablaze and Domini has admitted Rachel
and they bring Frank out while Janus transforms into the golden eagle and flies
out, Topaz choosing to remain with Dracula. The rain extinguishes the fire and
Dracula and Topaz find themselves in Hell. A dragon appears before them but it
is an illusion which Topaz can dispel. And then they come face-to-face with
Satan himself, Dracula’s creator and master, claiming the vampire shall never
again leave Hell….
