Synopsis

To escape persecution in Transylvania, Dracula moves to Boston where he kidnaps Satan's intended bride Dolores and makes her his wife. Dolores bears him a son Janus, and the three of them form a happy family unit. Then the Satanists take their revenge by killing Janus, and Satan Lucifer takes away Dracula's powers. Dracula goes in search of a way to become vampire again, but vampire hunters Hans Harker, Rachel Van Helsing, Frank Drake and dog Elijah are on his trail. So is Janus, who has been miraculously restored to life for the sole purpose of destroying his father. Everyone ends up back in Transylvania where Dracula regains his powers but Harker is on the spot to stab him with a silver stake and blow up the castle. His task accomplished, the adult Janus returns to heaven leaving baby Janus alive and well in his mother's arms. She, at least, has a second chance at happiness.
