Summary:	Corpses drained of blood and marked with strange wounds are discovered during the dark nights of Victorian England. When horror great Peter Cushing (Hammer's Dr. Frankenstein) as Inspector Quennell investigates, he discovers one of the most bizarre monsters in movie history... a giant, blood-sucking moth with the ability to take on human form! A crazed entolomogist (Robert Flemyng, The Horrible Dr. Hitchcock ) trying to make a mate for the monster needs blood for the experiment, and he's got his eye on Quennell's daughter Meg (Vanessa Howard).
Note:	- Peter Cushing considered this movie the worst film of his career. - Robert Flemyng was a last minute replacement for Basil Rathbone, who died shortly before filming. - Tigon British Films only produced eight films while they were around, but were able to attract several top named British horror film stars to be in their films (some of whom were regulars in the Hammer stable).
