On this night of the "Haunted Summer," five famous friends gather around an ancient skull to conjure up their darkest fears.

They share the terrifying fantasies that chase them through the castle that night. The events of that night later inspired Mary Shelley to write the classic "Frankenstein" and Dr. Polidori to pen "The Vampyre," which became the basis for the creation of Dracula..
