Things are getting bleak as Caltherios, Refried, Cassandra and the remaining gang are facing a very hard and cold winter around traveling towards a town that was foreign to them all compared to Barovia, in the midst of being on the run from the calculative Dr. Silver (Robert Englund). Unfortunately, Cassandra (Molly Ringwald) has been dealing with her body slowly transforming into a bloodthirsty werewolf after nearly attacking Victoria (Christine Elise) once she had a scent of the Dhampyr's blood after a duel with the undead Flynn Blackthorn while Chalice didn't make it in the previous battle with Adam, Dr. Silver's creation. Zandorin (Ralph Macchio) sacrificed himself and died while fighting the sinister vampire lord, Strahd Von Zarovich to save Renfried (Anthony Michael Hall)'s life just before the lab that Dr. Silver resided before fleeing, seemingly Tatyanna was nowhere to be seen as the lab was destroyed, killing the creations and even an unsuspecting Professor Pacali. Now, with the remaining heroes dealing with the grief of their fallen comrades and Tatyanna missing while dealing with this cold winter as stakes are elevating to great heights as The Prince of Darkness and his spawn come to the living realm, will our heroes survive or will the cold hands of death itself finally claim their souls for eternity?..
