The setting of the story begins in 19th century Europe, in the eerie
country of Transylvania. A solicitor from England named Jonathan Harker is sent by a business man to meet with an old Count named Dracula at his castle located far from civilization. Residents of Transylvania who become aware of his destination begin crossing themselves and giving him garlic and blessings. As a result of these gestures, Mr. Harker soon develops an uneasy feeling about visiting the mysterious Count. He arrives at Castle Dracula regardless, and makes his acquaintances with Dracula.

psychologist, an American, a rich man, as well as Jon an Harker and his
wife Mina, learn of the Count's sinister plan and pledge to destroy him
before he can create an army of un-dead vampires.
