This unlikely formula works surprisingly well - a horror movie for older teenagers that manages to scare just enough and amuse quite a lot without getting its audience into an unnecessary lather. A well-cast Duncan Regehr plays Count Dracula, journeying to suburban America to search for a mysterious amulet with the help of Frankenstein's monster and the Wolf Man, among others. But he reckons without a group of excitable children who are soon rustling up a few stakes in woodwork class.

Count Dracula returns to the world of humans accompanied by Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and the Gillman. The uglies are in search of a powerful amulet that will grant them the ability to rule the world. A group of horror-loving heroes are the only ones daring to stand in their way.
