Ghoul Squad Movies: The Vampire
Juleka Constantin as Countess Errina: A Transylvanian noblewoman who happens to be a vampire. She's harmless and non-malicious, even though she lives in a creepy castle, and occasionally drinks the blood of the village animals... and loves scaring the townsfolk for a chuckle. She's grown bored of Transylvania and is sick of getting blamed for every little thing that's gone wrong in their town. She decides to move to England and does so with the help of a seemingly friendly if desperate solicitor. When finding out said solicitor had a deadly disease, she decided to turn her into a vampire. She figured she'd finally have a friend/servant to deal with her problems. Just her luck that her guest would turn out to be a ungrateful little mortal who'd go around the village and later England, ruining her reputation! It hurt because the Countess felt she had met some wonderful folks from an opera house in London, some proper people unlike those peons in Transylvania. Even better, they had followed her all the way to her new castle in the country! Yes, she'd have to scare the daylights out of them, show herself as a creature of the night, but she didn't think they'd look so beaten up! Imagine how it felt when she discovered that not only was one of them turning into a vampire, but that a certain solicitor turned bloodsucking monster had also broken into her castle and had been attacking them! Well that wouldn't do. To prove her innocence, she quickly put Reiner out of her misery, allowing the turned member of their party to go back to normal. Errina would learn soon after not to bother giving humans the time of day.
Rochelle Weams as R.M. Reiner (character is female): Reiner is a solicitor, a rarity for someone of her gender. It didn't take long for her to realize her client was a creature of the night, but that wasn't going to let that stop her from getting a contract signed! Besides, she was on death's doorstep, anyway, having been diagnosed with tuberculosis. While she had initially revealed the disease in hopes to manipulate the Countess into putting her name out there in the financial world, Reiner ended up becoming a vampire that night. Soon enough, she cared little for financial gain anymore, all she wanted was blood! Drunk with power, she slunk off into the night, biting people willy nilly as she made her way back to England. Who cared if that countess was after her? She'd just use the Romanian as a scapegoat and get off scot free. Little did she know that some of the humans the Countess had met with with were friends with a vampire hunter! Despite all her tactics of making Errina look like the bad guy, she was eventually caught. The fight didn't last long.
Olga Mendeliev as Abigail Von Hindenburg: An old yet wisened vampire hunter and doctor, Abigail was old friends with Lubna's father and has taken to checking in on the woman to make sure she's doing well. While she first seems like a friendly if absent-minded goof, her expression turns stonefaced when dealing with creatures of the night. When Lubna and her friends told Abigail about the mysterious noblewoman they met with a compelling voice who drank red liquid, she immediately clocked it as being Errina, a vampire she had frequent experiences with in the past. Not necessarily battles mind you, moreso the Countess scaring the daylights out of villagers to get Hindenburg's attention so she could easily dodge her stakes and garlic. Abigail was determined to kill Errina once and for all for seemingly turning the girl who was like a niece to her. She managed to save Lubna, Jim & Minnie's lives with her trust cross from Reiner, who Abigail quickly realized was the real culprit. Errina may be innocent, but the old hunter's got her eyes on the countess.
Anthony Mathis as Jim Hawke, Dot Waverly as Minnie Stewart and Reshma Leghari as Lubna Wadwhani: While Jim and Minnie used to be married, they amicably separated and are in the process of a divorce. Partly because Jim had only married the woman to conceal his feelings for men. Still, they care about eachother deeply and see eachother as the best of friends. They are also mutual friends with Lubna, Minnie's old roommate. They were attending an opera in the theater when they came into contact with Countess Errina. Feeling the strangest urges, they decided to invite her over to dinner, having a lovely if sometimes creepy conversation. Sure it was odd that she had to be invited in and asked if there was any garlic, but who were they to be rude to a guest. Still it would end up biting them in the ass when Reiner crawled into Lubna's room at night and bit her. While she's a lot more modest and docile than Minnie, she still managed to put up somewhat of a fight. Still, it freaked her friends out when she began talking about how she loved the night and fog, and how her teeth began to get sharper. With the help of Abigail, they tracked Errina down to her castle, survived her innocent scares while Lubna fought it out with Reiner. While they are keen to avoid Errina even after she proved her innocence, they are grateful for her curing Lubna.
