The premise

Vlad Tepes is a great hero, but when he learns the Sultan is preparing for battle and needs to form an army of 1,000 boys, he vows to find a way to protect his family. Vlad turns to dark forces in order to get the power to destroy his enemies and agrees to go from hero to monster as he's turned into the mythological vampire, Dracula.

Horror Vault's take

Before the legend, there was the man — and the desperate choice that would damn him forever. Vlad Tepes, celebrated warrior-prince of 15th-century Transylvania, faces an impossible threat from the Ottoman Empire that no mortal army can overcome. Driven by love for his people and family, he seeks out a terrifying ancient power lurking in the mountains, striking a bargain with consequences far beyond anything a battlefield could offer. This is the dark origin story of how history's most feared ruler became horror's most iconic monster.
