Herb was just a maintenance man working late at night in a theatre. As he was turning off the lights to close up, something caught his eye under a tarp. When we went to investigate, vampire bats attacked him. Herb isn’t a man to go down without a fight, he bit back and surprisingly absorbed their powers and sacred blood. Through it all Herb became friends with the bat, who teaches him how to be a vampire. Herb now must prepare himself for an army of other monsters intent on retaking the ancient blood he had consumed. Through telepathic means, they know who and where he is, and they are coming for him. As he continues his job, he turns a few of his most trusted friends and co-workers into creatures like himself.
