A special Halloween show performed evenings based on Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic horror novel Dracula. One of Dracula's most mysterious powers is the ability to turn others into vampires by biting them. Count Dracula is an undead, centuries-old vampire, and a Transylvanian nobleman. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass. Dracula is handsome and charismatic, with a veneer of aristocratic charm. He infiltrates London to begin his reign of terror. He summons Jonathan Harker, a newly qualified English solicitor, to provide legal support for a real estate transaction. Soon the Count begins menacing Harker's fiancée, Wilhelmina "Mina" Murray, and her friend, Lucy Westenra. Other fascinating characters include Renfield, a patient in an insane asylum, and the Dutch doctor Abraham Van Helsing.
