故事从一个寒冷的雪夜开始。 年幼的女孩优姬在漫天大雪的月夜里迷了路，意外的撞上了那传说中的噩梦代名词——吸血鬼。 生死时刻，男主角之一——玖兰枢出现了。当场将恶鬼斩杀，救下了女孩，并将她带到了黑主学园理事长那里，请求理事长的收留照顾。 十年过去了。当年的小女孩如今已是黑主学院普通班一年级的风纪委员。而当年救了优姬的久兰枢亦是黑主学院夜间部班长和社长，同时也是月之舍的舍长。 普通班在白天上课，夜间班则在夜晚上课，两个班轮流使用校舍；相互间唯一能产生交集的机会只有在傍晚两个班交换校舍的时候。 这样的安排是有其原因的。因为夜间班有一个不为人知的秘密，那就是，夜间班的所有成员，都是吸血鬼。而受人尊敬的玖兰学长，则更是被称为“吸血鬼中的吸血鬼”的纯血种吸血鬼。 吸血鬼一族都是以幽雅，秀美，才华出众的人类形态出现在世间。于是这些美艳的吸血鬼少年，就成了普通班的少女们爱慕的对象。而每天傍晚的课时交替时分，就不可避免的出现女生们拥挤在学舍前等待吸血鬼少年们的情形。 人类与吸血鬼的接触，事件本身就有着不合适的理由。于是，优姬与另一位风纪委员锥生零担负起学院守护者的职责，处理人类学生与吸血鬼接触时所出现的麻烦。 零的家人在四年前被吸血鬼所杀害，而零却奇迹般的活了下来，并受到了理事长的收留照顾，在学院里上学。不幸的往事，使得零的性格变的异常冷酷。 对于救过自己性命的玖兰学长，优姬心中存着感激与仰慕；而对于身世孤苦的零，优姬有着长姐般的关怀与身世相怜的疼惜。另一方面，玖兰虽然对优姬有好感，但迟疑于两人种族间的鸿沟；而零虽对优姬也有感觉，但迟钝的情感与坚硬的内心却阻止了他的感情。

When Scream Factory announced they were releasing The Return of the Vampire, I didn't think much of it, because I thought I saw it already and didn't love it all that much. Turns out I was thinking of Mark of the Vampire (which also had Bela Lugosi), and had never actually seen this one! He didn't play a vampire as often as you might think (in fact, in Mark he was only pretending to be one), so getting to see him, still more or less in his prime, don the Dracula-ish guise again in a film I didn't even really know existed was a real treat. As a bonus, the movie has a werewolf too, and the makeup isn't far off from Wolfman's, so it's like getting the "Dracula vs Wolfman" movie we were denied since Universal never actually made one. 　　It's hard not to think about the Universal films when watching it; even discounting the makeup and Bela's appearance, the other characters are cut from the same cloth (professors, doctors, young ladies who catch the eye of Drac- er, "Armand Tesla") and has the same general vibe from start to finish. The biggest difference is the setting; while the Dracula (and Wolfman and Frankenstein) films take place in the 19th century, this one - apart from a lengthy prologue - takes place in the (then) present day of 1943. World War II (specifically bomber planes) even plays a part in the proceedings, something I'm not sure I've seen before in this particular brand of monster movie, which I found kind of fascinating and wish it was a bigger part of the film (perhaps because I'm still disappointed by the underutilized horror element of Overlord). I suspect the low budget forced them to keep it to a minimum, but still - you get to see a vampire vs werewolf climax interrupted by a Nazi bomber! 　　I also liked how the werewolf was used, as a sort of slave to the vampire. As with Larry Talbot, the cursed guy (Andreas) is a sympathetic monster, forced to do evil deeds by his master but struggling to break free of his control. Naturally, the cops think he's the real villain, and there's only one guy who suspects Lugosi's character of being up to no good, making it engaging even though we in the audience are always a step or two ahead of everyone. There's a real villain to take down and a relatively innocent man to redeem - Wolfman had no real villain and Dracula had no anti-hero, so it really does kind of offer a perfect mix of the two hoscenarios. 　　Also if you prefer Frankenstein, they got you covered there too - a guy talks to the camera and throws you out of the damn thing. 　　Since it's 70+ years old everyone involved is dead but that didn't stop Scream Factory from offering a special edition with a whopping three commentaries by film historians, including Troy Howarth who I'm rapidly becoming a fan of (they use him a lot). The others are fine; one focuses more on werewolf movies and the other on Lugosi in general, but if you want something more specific to this film than Howarth's is the one to go with. The transfer is also quite nice; it looks better than some of the genuine Universal ones if you ask me. Here's hoping SF puts out more of the under-represented flicks from the classic era; I know they've been stepping up their game with the 1950s monster movies (I just got Deadly Mantis, in fact) and they'll obviously always be dishing out the 70s/80s fare, but there are a number of interesting gems from the 30s and 40s that fell through the cracks (or are indeed in public domain) that deserve the polishing. 　　What say you?
