The premise

The Romanian count known as Dracula is summoned to London by Arthur Holmwood, a young Lord who is one the verge of being wed. Unknown to Arthur's future bride Lucy, her future husband is infected with syphilis and therefore cannot consummate their marriage. Arthur has laid his hopes of being cured on the enigmatic count; as it is said that Dracula has extraordinary powers. But these supernatural powers have sinister origins. The Count is a vampire. Soon Arthur realizes his serious mistake as all hell breaks loose and the Count infects others with his ancient curse. But Dracula has not counted on the young Lord acquiring the assistance of the Dutch Vampire expert Prof. Abraham Van Helsing.

Horror Vault's take

A desperate young lord strikes a dangerous bargain with a mysterious Romanian nobleman, hoping the Count's rumoured supernatural powers can cure a shameful affliction before his wedding day. What arrives in London is far older and far more dangerous than anyone bargained for. As the Count's true nature is slowly revealed, the cost of that invitation threatens to consume everyone around him. Only the arrival of a renowned vampire hunter offers any hope against the ancient evil now loose in Victorian society.
