In the black of night he stalks his unwitting victims with the passion
of a prince and the grace of a wild animal. Able to assume the guise
of everything from a shadow on the wall to a jagged-toothed Wolf Beast,
he feeds on the living, sinking his pearly fangs into their fair necks
for a drink of their life-giving serum. For he is the Prince of Darkness -
Count Dracula - and he's cast his hypnotic spell on your lovely mistress,
Mina Murray. Now you, Jonathan Harker, must drive a stake through the
heart of this vampire and save the fair Mina from eternal life as a
vampiress.

henchmen and neck-biting bats, as well as cross collapsing platforms,

off Dracula in his bat form.
