Raymond Everett, the owner of the Hollywood House of Wax, gets far more than he bargained for when an extra, unexpected sixth crate arrives in a shipment of Romanian antiquities. Emerging from the coffin is Vanessa, the elegant and deadly wife of Count Dracula. When Raymond delivers the grim news that her infamous husband is dead, Vanessa decides Hollywood is the perfect place to build a temporary empire--starting by biting Raymond and turning him into her loyal vassal. But she isn't just here to hide; she's here to settle a centuries-old score with the grandson of the famed Dr. Van Helsing. As Vanessa begins leaving a trail of blood-drained bodies across the neon-lit city, it catches the attention of Lieutenant Hap Lannon--a grizzled, cynical detective under intense pressure to solve the grisly murders. With a vampire queen turning Tinseltown into her personal hunting ground, can a burnt-out detective stop Dracula's widow before Hollywood bleeds out?
