Vlad is forced to ensure that no one screams at Halloween so that a ‘curse' will be imposed on his family – a curse of normality. If anyone screams the family will remain vampires. But being Halloween, frights and screams abound. Vlad goes out of his way to keep the peace so that the curse will be imposed. Robin on the other hand tries his best to make everyone scream. Jonathan locks Van Helsing up in the caravan – this is a night when his slaying instincts are all over the shop.

The Count holds a hunt ball to find a new wife and Van Helsing uses it as an opportunity to infiltrate the castle. Jonathan finds out that vampires really do exist and Vlad has to pull out all the stops to save the Count from Van Helsing. The Branaghs are invited to the ball – not as guests but as the hunt victims. The Count finally discovers that there is a slayer in town and the series ends with a showdown between the Count and Van Helsing.
