DRACULA:

Legendary Irish scribe Bram Stoker took inspiration from the ruins of Slains Castle near Hatton in North East Scotland when he penned his immortal classic of the sanguinary Count. What no one knows is that Dracula was no fictional creation, and that he had a concealed crypt in the bowels of the castle: a resting place that for many years has lain hidden... but not empty! Now, in modern-day Scotland, this derelict castle is being developed into luxury flats. When cowboy builders unearth the tomb, they unleash upon the folk of Scotland the evil from within the void. A pestilence that is Dracula’s Daughter! And the female of the species proves much deadlier than the male!

FRANKENSTEIN:

When Mary Shelley wrote her timeless gothic tale of a man tampering with creation she was ‘close’ to the Scottish poet Lord Byron. the legendary wordsmith - who came from and was reared in Aberdeenshire - actually helped Mary crecraft the terrifying tome, but he was simply retelling a true tale from his homeland about a brilliant but insane Necromancer called Professor Aw Hochies. And when the female spawn of this warped genius is released from her icy tomb inside Mormond Hill in the Grampian Mountains by the unwelcome, illegal intrusion of fracking, all Hell breaks loose...

THE WEREWOLF:

The ‘Beast of Bin’ legend tells of a feral creature, perhaps wolf, that prowls the forest near the town of Huntly in North East Scotland, killing and feasting on the flesh of small birds and animals. But, suddenly, coinciding with the clandestine re-introduction of wolves into the hinterlands of Scotland, that legend becomes murderous fact. But the creature that stalks the rugged terrain does not fall into the 37 strong sub-species of mere canis lupus;  And her appetite is for flesh of animals much larger than rabbits - her tasts runs more to that of the Human variety!
