Synopsis for "Nightmare Castle!"[]
In London, Captain Britain rescues a woman from a werewolf and flies away just before the police arrive. At his university the next day, he is introduced to Baron Kemp. The baron has invited Courtney Ross to his castle for the weekend. Sharp-eyed Brian notices that the baron is wearing the same ring as the werewolf was (!). He researches Kemp's family history and is shocked to find that the seventh baron was reputed to have done a deal with Satan. Brian flies to Darkmoor Castle and is attacked by its gargoyles, which come to life and spit fire at him. Meanwhile, Courtney is fast asleep in bed. The baron, convinced that she is a dead ringer for his dead girlfriend, is about to "place upon her milk-white neck... THE KISS OF THE VAMPIRE!"
