The Hateful Place (Halloween Special): Bring Me the Head of Lady Jane

In a hellish version of 15th century England, darkness dominates and evil thrives. Three unusual heroes – Lill Redcloak, Feargus Bonesaw, and Fenton Grymbauld – accept a grisly mission to travel to Molby Manor in the county of Victimshire and put a vampire out of her misery. Standing in their way are monsters and murderers straight out of a nightmarish fairy-tale.

In the aftermath of the battle, there is death but also redemption.
