The premise

Carpathian Count Alucard is invited to the U.S. by a young heiress. Her boyfriend and local officials are suspicious of the newcomer, who is interested in the "virile" soil of the new world.

Horror Vault's take

A mysterious European count arrives in the American South at the invitation of a wealthy young heiress, bringing with him secrets that unsettle her suitor and alarm local authorities. As strange deaths and disappearances mount, the fog-draped swamps and shadowy estates of the Louisiana bayou prove a fitting new hunting ground for ancient evil. This Universal monster entry transplants classic Carpathian dread to an unexpectedly atmospheric American setting, lending the familiar vampire mythos a fresh and unsettling geography.
