The prequel to the 2022 short, Requiem For Lugosi, Requiem For Karloff continues the tale of East German Stasi officer and paranormal investigator, Kapitan Karl Straker, as he undertakes a mission to investigate a long-hidden Nazi bunker beneath the streets of East Berlin in 1983, and is forced to work alongside an agent of the rival Holy Order of Exorcisms and Intervention on Demonic and Supernatural Activities. Beneath Berlin, monsters and freaks of nature are discovered, the creations of Dr. Werner Wollstonecraft, a quintessential mad scientist, and Straker learns dark secrets from his own past that lead him onto the path that will one day make him into a vampire.
