Intrigue

On a dark, stormy night, two roomates caught in a power blackout decide to tell each other scary stories to pass the time. The first story is called "Pain Killer", about a Gulf War Vet. that returns home disfigured and mentally unstable engaging in a murderous killing spree after his wife no longer sees him as her husband. The second story called "The Cologne", written by B-Horror legend TIM RITTER (Truth or Dare, Killing Spree), tells the story of a nerd that can't get a date until he tries this special "Cologne", which works great at first but comes with some deadly side effects. The last story is called "Blood Runs Cold", about an aging Priest that is chosen by God to rid the earth of vampires.—Robert Massetti

In the third episode, Blood Runs Cold, Father Ken Crowe [Bob Glazier] is on a crusade to kill vampires, ever since his daughter Rachel disappeared years ago. It's not like Fr Crowe has a choice in the matter. Some years ago, he was given a message from God, along with a vampire-killing cross made of nails from Christ's crucifixion, that commanded him to take on the work of killing vampires. Unfortunately, this crusade has not won Crowe any favors from the Church, so he's become homeless and has been sleeping in the park. When his longtime friend Father Henry [Mike Levitt] offers him a room at his church, Crowe agrees and moves in. Rachel, who now calls herself "Raven" [Sheyenne Rivers], has always wanted to be a vampire. When Raven meets up with three vampires in a bar and they invite her to party, she is eager to go. However, when the vampires offer Raven a chalice of blood and the high priestess, who goes by the name of "The Dweller" [Trish Dempsey], offers her a chance to become a vampire, Raven begins to have second thoughts. Still, she drinks the blood and allows herself to be bitten by The Dweller. The next morning, the bites on her neck confirm the fact that it wasn't all a dream. When Raven's best friend drops in, Raven can't stop herself from drinking her blood. Raven is devastated that she could kill her best friend. She doesn't think that she is fully turned yet and that there is still time to undo the curse, so she convinces Fr Henry to take her to see her father. Raven pleads with her dad to help her, but Crowe is certain that this is a plan on the part of The Dweller to trick Raven into leading Crowe, along with the vampire-killing cross, to her. He knows that the vampire who possesses the blood of a priest along with the vampire-killing cross would become invincible and would be able to create full vampires. Crowe decides to play along with The Dweller's game. That night, he allows Raven to lead him to The Dweller. As Crowe confronts The Dweller with the cross, Raven suddenly grabs the cross from his hand and uses it to stab The Dweller. When Crowe praises Raven for her role in destroying The Dweller, however, Raven turns her fangs on him. [Synopsis by bj_kuehl]
