The de Magpyrs are a family of modern vampires - immune to garlic, crosses and daylight - and already  busy taking over the whole kingdom of Lancre in a "bloodless coup"...! So, unfortunately most people are now controlled by the vampires. The few that can resist their influence have to brave the monsters on their own. Watch quick-witted witches as they struggle and fight to fool the bloodsuckers!
