The year is 1816. A sprawIing villa in SwitzerIand is the setting for a stormy night of madness. On this night of the "Haunted Summer," five famous friends gather around an ancient skull to conjure up their darkest fears. Poets Lord Byron and Percy SheIIey, Shelley’s fiancée Mary Godwin, Mary’s stepsister Claire CIairemont and Byron’s friend John Polidori spend a haIlucinogenic evening confronting their fears in a frenzy of shocking lunacy. Horrifying visions invade the castIe - realizations of Byron’s fear of leeches. ShelIey’s fear of premature burial. Mary’s fear of birthing a stillborn chiId - alI brought forth in a bizarre dreamscape. They share the terrifying fantasies that chase them through the castle that night. The events of that night Iater inspired Mary SheIIey to write the classic "Frankenstein" and Dr. Polidori to pen "The Vampyre," which became the basis of the creation of Dracula. |
