## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A midnight black Audi 100 cruising wet Surrey lanes.

Professor Van Helsing, summoned by Whitehall codes, steps into a Georgian manor where bishops bleed on oak floors. The tycoon’s guests murmur hymns over mummified fingers.

Another Hammer gothic that still believes evil can be strangled with a silver-tipped stake.

**Mood tags**: dread, slow-burn
