LOGLINE: Steam Punk and Sci-Fi Noir in the Edwardian Age.
PROJECT SUMMARY: It is the early part of the 19th century in this alternate Victorian universe. It is a universe not unlike Eastern Europe of the early 1800s. Specifically, an area known as Transylvania. It is the age of steam-powered machines, gas lamps, and pre-modernism science fiction, straight out of H. G. Wells' The Time Machine, Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon, and Fritz Lang's Metropolis. We live in an age of the supernatural, in an age of the unexplained phenomenon, and in an age of horror. Poltergeists terrorize the populace. Zombies roam the countryside. Monsters rule the night. And when the local constables find themselves out of their league, they call upon the only private detective agency in the city that can help solve their problems: Dracula Jr. and the Agents of P.O.E. Otherwise known as, “Pursuers of Evil”.
In 1241, BATU KHAN, a grandson of Genghis Khan, led a marauding band of comical misfits into Transylvania, conquered the local peasantry, and set up housekeeping within the Castle Dacia, high above the tiny hamlet of Cluj. For ten long years, Batu Khan ruled Transylvania with an iron fist. But like any despot, he grew bored with this enterprise and eventually, a peasant uprising ensued, and he and his army were driven out of the castle. Defeated, Batu Khan and his inept brigands disappeared. Or so everyone thought. But for the last six hundred years, Batu Khan has lived deep beneath the cobblestone streets of Cluj, ruling the Underworld and plotting his revenge. It is here, in his underground refuge, that he discovered the "mysteries of the universe" and the secrets to immortality. It is here that he practices his villainous sorcery. For centuries Batu Khan, now known as DR. MYSTERIOSO, and his zany minions have prepared for a war against the mortals. Now he is ready, and only one thing stands in his way: DRACULA JR. and THE AGENTS OF P.O.E.
