House of Dracula

Set in the mid-20th century, the story unfolds in a world where gothic science collides with folklore. Castles and laboratories dominate the night as scientists pursue cures for vampirism and lycanthropy, while mobs and law enforcement navigate fear and suspicion. The era's atmosphere leans toward shadowy, storm-lashed settings rather than modern urbanity.

Edelmann Castle sits atop the Visarian landscape, acting as the hub of scientific intrigue and vampiric danger. Its damp corridors and subterranean cave system connect to a secret lab and the castle basement where Dracula's coffin lies. The castle becomes a focal point for experiments, eerie moonlit nights, and confrontations between monsters and townsfolk.

🧪 Science vs Superstition

The plot centers on Edelmann's attempt to cure vampirism through blood transfusions, blurring ethical lines in the name of progress. Dracula's manipulation of science and people tests the boundaries between discovery and danger. The clash between rational experimentation and ancient curses drives much of the tension, with salvation and ruin hinging on fragile experiments.

👹 Monsters and Monstrosity

Dracula, the Wolf Man, and the revived Frankenstein monster embody different facets of monstrousness—seduction, curse, and brute force. The castle becomes a crucible where science, magic, and violence fuse, revealing how ambition can birth beings beyond control. Each creature exposes the fragility of humanity when faced with power that cannot be tamed.

☀️ Purification by Light

Sunlight and fire symbolize the potential to extinguish occult horrors, as Dracula is destroyed by daylight and Edelmann's experiments meet a fatal end. The townspeople and investigators pursue justice and reveal how light can expose truth and vanquish darkness. Yet the fragile line between science and monstrosity remains, suggesting that relief may require more than mere illumination.
