Drakula, a
vicious warrior and heartless leader of his people, exacts inhuman cruelties upon his
enemies--all in the name of God. Incensed, God condemns Drakula and endows him with
immortality, such that he should suffer the wounds and pain of battle without relief of
death. God also takes the life of Drakula's young wife, and promises to return her
only after a thousand years of suffering. Drakula enters into an uncontrollable rage, pits himself against God, and vows to serve Satan as his master--thus embarking on an enduring reign of terror, steeped in blood . . . |
