In this wild mystery-farce in 2 acts by Tim Kelly, laughter and wild chills follow students from bankrupt Kidd Academy to their Spring Vacation in the gloomy old mansion on Blood Pudding Lane...a house that is haunted by a werewolf's curse. The wealthy recluse plans to give her estate to Kidd if she's favorably impressed by the young people. Maureen, the Academy's prize student, has written a book debunking the legend of Dracula. Unfortunately for her—and everyone else—Dracula appears and demands a retraction. Maureen sticks by her garlic, so it's up to the furious vampire to prove that he really does exist. And when Dracula is furious—WATCH OUT!

This is a simple-to-produce and rehearse comedy-thriller with fun roles—everything from amateur detectives to Dracula's wife and a mad ghostbuster—the kind of roles that allow actors to display their talents and develop their skills.

Author Tim Kelly, famous for his ability to create exciting, suspense-filled plots, has included some spooky stage effects that will thrill your audiences (the Production Notes at the end of the script make the effects easy). The show piles one hilarious scene on top of another with a batty finale that will have your audience howling for more.

One interior set, spooky Supal Mansion; modern clothes.
