No, this isn’t a trailer for some new DRACULA film… well, not exactly. It’s actually a trailer for a sequel to Bram Stoker’s classic book, titled DRACULA: THE UNDEAD.
My first instinct is “Whaaaaat? Whhyyyyy??” but after reading the synopsis, I must say I’m intrigued. Read for yourself:
Dracula The Un-Dead begins in 1912, twenty-five years after Dracula “crumbled into dust.” Van Helsing’s protégé, Dr. Jack Seward, is now a disgraced morphine addict obsessed with stamping out evil across Europe. Meanwhile, an unknowing Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan and Mina, leaves law school for the London stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of “Dracula,” directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself.
The play plunges Quincey into the world of his parents’ terrible secrets, but before he can confront them he experiences evil in a way he had never imagined. One by one, the band of heroes that defeated Dracula a quarter-century ago is being hunted down. Could it be that Dracula somehow survived their attack and is seeking revenge? Or is their another force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula?
DRACULA: THE UNDEAD, written by Ian Holt and Dacre Stoker, hits stores on OCTOBER 13th. Check out the official site HERE.
