The dead baby Janus
has been resurrected and possessed by the Golden Angel to become an adult; he
and Dracula continue to quarrel over Janus’ duty and destiny to destroy Dracula
while Domini is torn between her husband and her son. Janus goes out in the
form of an eagle and locates his sire as he preys on an innocent victim. Janus
is too late to prevent her death but he cleanses her so she will not rise as a
vampire in three days. Dracula calls down lightning on his son; Janus absorbs
it and hurls it back, destroying a tree. Dracula escapes, postponing their
reckoning for another day….
An unseen creature,
in service to an unnamed master, sends out crimson tentacles and kills a woman
as a pawn in the game….
An ambulance heads
to a hospital, carrying the bodies of four women who have lost all their body
hair though an unknown means. Dracula, still hungry, swoops down and causes the
vehicle to crash in his search for bottled blood. He is unnerved by the sight
of the four dead women and demands to know what happened to them; the EMTs have
no answer so Dracula flies off. Then the men discover that the women’s bodies
are gone and they faint….
Dracula pursues the
four dead women who walk the streets until they arrive at a sinister mansion
atop Satan’s Hill. He follows them in to discover that the inside resembles an
ancient Roman villa. He hears a woman scream upstairs and goes to investigate;
he finds Topaz, onetime companion to Jack Russell, Werewolf By Night and
demands to know why she is there. She has used her psychic powers to call on
him to protect her….
While with Rachel van Helsing,
Frank Drake suddenly goes into a trance and heads for Satan’s
Hill….
Janus, in the form
of the golden eagle also arrives at the mansion….
And the crimson
tentacled monster awaits his victims….
