Summary:	The year is 1815. Robert Terence (Brendan Price), a young Englishman, is touring Europe in search of adventure. He finds more than he bargained for. Robert's obsessive pursuit of the alluring and mysterious Elga (Marilu Tolo), the Countess St. Alyre, brings him into contact with the Marquis D'Armanville (Patrick Magee), a helpful gentleman who claims to be "an old friend of the family"; Elga's silent, sinister husband, the Count St. Alyre (Curd Jürgens), long thought dead at the hands of the Revolution; and the vengeful, apparently mad Colonel Galliard (Per Oscarsson), who holds a bitter grudge against the St. Alyres. A series of bizarre murders break out, and, on St. Andrew's Eve, the night when witches and vampires claim their victims, Robert makes a fateful pact with Elga and learns the horrible secret of the St. Alyres - a secret that leads him to the borderland of nightmare.
Note:	- The film emphasizes on the vampire plot, which is barely hinted at in the story.
