(A group of curious adventurers receives an invitation to a party at Dracula’s castle)

ADRIAN: (examining the invitation) This invitation to Dracula’s castle is certainly intriguing. What do you all think?

LYDIA: (skeptically) Dracula’s castle? Are you serious, Adrian? It’s probably just some Halloween prank.

MARCUS: (nodding) I’ve heard tales of Count Dracula’s legendary castle. It could be an adventure worth exploring.

ISABELLA: (excitedly) I say we go! Who knows what mysteries lie within those ancient walls?

Scene 2: The Sinister Host

(They arrive at the castle and find themselves in the middle of a dark and foreboding room, with flickering torches casting eerie shadows on the walls. Count Dracula appears. He welcomes the guests and offers them food and drink. But the guests soon realize that something is off about the Count. His eyes glow red in the dim light, and he seems to be surrounded by an aura of darkness)

COUNT DRACULA: (with a sly smile) Welcome, dear guests, to my humble abode. I trust the journey was not too arduous.

ADRIAN: (nervously) Your castle is quite impressive, Count Dracula. Thank you for inviting us.

LYDIA: (whispering to Marcus) Did you see his eyes? There’s something off about him.

MARCUS: (whispering back) Stay on guard, Lydia. We don’t know what we’re dealing with here.

Scene 3: The Uninvited Guest

(Just as the guests start to feel uneasy, a mysterious figure appears at the door. It’s Van Helsing, the vampire hunter, armed with a wooden stake and a cross. He warns the guests that they must leave the castle immediately, or risk becoming Dracula’s next victims)

VAN HELSING: (bursting in) Stop! You must leave this castle immediately! Count Dracula is a creature of darkness, and you are all in grave danger.

ADRIAN: (startled) Who are you?

VAN HELSING: I am Van Helsing, a vampire hunter. I’ve been tracking Dracula for years, and this is no place for innocent souls like yourselves. Flee while you still can!

Scene 1: The Chase

(The guests, accompanied by Van Helsing, frantically try to escape as Dracula and his minions chase after them through the castle’s winding corridors)

LYDIA: (running) We need to find a way out of here! This place is a labyrinth.

ISABELLA: (breathless) I never thought I’d be running from vampires. This is madness!

Scene 2: The Final Confrontation

(The vampire hunters and Dracula face off in his throne room. Dracula is weakened by the sunlight streaming through the window)

MARCUS: (holding up a cross) Dracula, your reign ends here! The light will banish your darkness forever.

DRACULA: (growling) You fools! Do you think you can defeat me?

ADRIAN: (firmly) We stand together against you, Dracula. Your terror ends now!

(The hunters charge at Dracula, using their weapons and the power of the sunlight to strike him down. With a final scream, Dracula crumbles to dust)

(The remaining guests emerge from the castle, shaken but victorious)

LYDIA: (catching her breath) I can’t believe we made it out alive.

ISABELLA: (looking back at the castle) We should never speak of this again. It’s best to leave the darkness behind.

ADRIAN: (nodding) Agreed. But let us remember the bravery it took to face our fears. We may carry the scars, but we are stronger for it.

(The guests emerge from the castle, shaken but victorious. They vow never to speak of their encounter with Dracula again, but they know that the memory of that fateful night will haunt them forever)
