Dracula gathers with
the Church of the Damned to celebrate his wedding to Domini as he is worshipped
by the cult as their only true god, in defiance of Christ, whose portrait hangs
on the wall of the church. The two celebrants allow their wrists to be cut and
their blood mingled, joining them as one….
At the offices of
American Chemron Industries, a worker, Barry Windom, warns CEO Wallace
Slammerkin that he is going to blow the whistle on all of the dishonest company
practices threatening the environment; Slammerkin shoots him and has his
executive staff help him dump the body into waters contaminated with chemical
waste. As his corpse tumbles though the corrosive acids, his facial features
are eaten away, leaving him faceless. Yet the creature still lusts for
vengeance and so rises from the river….
Elsewhere, Hannibal King
and Blade are searching for another henchman of Deacon Frost to learn what
the villain is planning to do with a duplicate of Blade….
His wedding
concluded, Dracula addresses the Damned and announces his new plan to found a
new religious order around them and to father a son, to combat the Son of God,
who will also be born on December 25th. Domini submits to all of
this and so he carries her off to a honeymoon in hell….
The Faceless Man
arrives at the home of Chemron exec Jack Simmons, crashing through the door. He
tears out Jack’s left eye and places it into his own face and departs for his next
victim….
Dracla leaves Domini
with his coffin, as he can’t explain why she has such a hold over his emotions.
He flies out into the night in search of a victim and chooses a woman, Jean
Hargrove, and decides to stalk her as long as he can….
The Faceless Man
comes upon his second victim, executive Fred Anderson, in the steam room of a
gym; he chokes the man then removes his right eye adding it to his own face. A
third victim, Eli Harris, is out with his wife, feeling guilty about his part
in Windom’s death, when the revenant appears and erases Harris’ mouth for his
own. Jean Hargrove returns to the Chemron main office where she is having a
clandestine affair with Slammerkin. Dracula has been following and through the
window, he hypnotizes her into inviting him into the building. Slammerkin
shoots the intruder but it does nothing—but another intruder is there, the
Faceless Man, who can now speak, having replaced his missing mouth, cries out
for vengeance, taking Jean’s nose for himself. He defies Dracula and hurls the
vampire out of the window. By the time Dracula re-enters, Windom has taken
Slammerkin’s ears and heart for his own, leaving the executive useless for
Dracula’s purpose. But now, having regained a heart, Windom knows that his
vengeance accomplished nothing and the living corpse melts away into goo,
leaving Dracula helpless in his own rage….
