Deedee and the Vampire
 
 
 

Halloween, 1899. Father Vilnius is conducting a service at St Sebastian’s church, Soho. He gives thanks for the radio receiver which his friend Felix has created to scan the heavens for the voice of God: 1899

Felix, who is a member of a platoon of vampire hunters called the Army of Light, is approached by his Commander and ordered to activate the vampire detection circuit he has secretly built into the radio. Felix affirms his commitment to the fight: Saints and Superheroes

Sister Assumpta, a nun, tries to persuade Vilnius to shut down the receiver. Vilnius’s adoptive daughter Deedee invites Felix to abandon his work and join her for a walk but he resists the distraction, upsetting her: Barefoot

Deedee argues with her unwanted admirer, the vampire hunter Stanford. He tells her that Felix is keeping secrets and advises her that if she wants to know what Felix is up to, she should come to the crypt that night. Father Vilnius is shocked to meet his old lover Hortense, now also a hunter: When Worlds Collide

The receiver detects a cosmic signal approaching London. Stanford discovers the source of the signal, a coffin-shaped space capsule now crashed in the graveyard: The Dead part one

Out steps the Visitor, a seductive space vampire. Revealing himself to be the Visitor’s spy amongst the hunters, Stanford announces that he has chosen a victim: Deedee. Vilnius arrives as the Visitor returns to his capsule: Lust for Glory

The hunters take the capsule to the church crypt. Deedee enters the crypt and opens the capsule. The Visitor offers her the chance to become a vampire and leave her human emotions behind: The Shining

Saddened by Felix’s apparent indifference, she accepts and he bites her neck. Deedee is transformed into a vampire: Tiger Tiger

Sister Assumpta enters the crypt with dynamite and a detonator, planning to blow up the church to destroy the receiver: Bad Habits

Hungry, Deedee bites her neck: Tiger Tiger reprise

Assumpta, now a vampire, runs into the nave of the church where she is shot dead by the hunters: Halloween
