In the shadow of a world that has forgotten its monsters, Van Helsing resurrects the mythic terror of the 1930s–50s Universal canon—now reborn in the modern age. Abraham Van Helsing, long thought dead, is revealed to be immortal, cursed with eternal vigilance against the darkness he once vanquished. But time has eroded memory, and the monsters have returned. At the center is Sophia Van Helsing, Abraham’s estranged descendant—a brilliant but haunted cryptozoologist who uncovers her family's buried legacy. When Dracula reawakens and unites the forgotten horrors—Frankenstein’s Monster, The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon—Sophia must rally a new generation of allies: outcasts, scholars, and reluctant heroes. Together, they confront not just the monsters, but the mythic echoes of trauma, immortality, and transformation. As Abraham emerges from the shadows to guide Sophia, their bond becomes the emotional spine of a battle for legacy—where ancient evil meets modern reckoning.
