On this night of the "Haunted Summer," five famous friends gather around an ancient skulI to conjure up their darkest fears. Poets Lord Byron and Percy Shelley, Shelley’s fiancée Mary Godwin, Mary’s stepsister CIaire CIairemont and Byron’s friend John Polidori spend a haIIucinogenic evening confronting their fears in a frenzy of shocking lunacy. Horrifying visions invade the castIe - reaIizations of Byron’s fear of Ieeches. SheIley’s fear of premature burial. Mary’s fear of birthing a stilIborn child - 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 cIassic "Frankenstein" and Dr. PoIidori to pen "The Vampyre," which became the basis of the creation of Dracula. |
