Dracula Inquest brings Bram Stoker’s iconic tale of horror to life, and promises to scare the hell out of you!
“I sometimes think we must be all mad and that we shall wake to sanity in strait-waistcoats.” ―Bram Stoker
The year is 1895. Detective Avery Sly from Scotland Yard arrives in the bowels of an eerie asylum for the criminally insane. He has come to interrogate four inmates about the disappearance of a mysterious nobleman from Transylvania.
As the inquest unfolds, some very unsettling questions begin to emerge: was Count Dracula really a demonic vampire, as the inmates claim? Or was he, in fact, the innocent victim of a bizarre and ritualistic murder conspiracy?
