A new teacher arrives at a remote Japanese boarding school for girls and is immediately drawn into strange,nocturnal goings-on which mostly centre around the school's mysterious,sinister headmaster! The third and final entry in Toho's trio of loosely connected films inspired by Hammers Dracula films and also arguably the films of Jess Franco and Jean Rollin among others.

He's more chaotic and out of control than any of the hoodlums he encounters on his daily beat!
