“Dance Macabre” begins with a title card reading “one night in Transylvania,” the l and a bolded in red to refer to Los Angeles where the story appears to take place. It follows two men walking down the street late at night in search of a party, they arrive at the house, they are greeted at the door by a strange man decked out in makeup.
