The Counts lover a witch named Anna Muller, would join forces with Emile in order to bring him back from the dead. Just before his death, the count cursed all of the villagers, declaring that they, their children and the entire town of stattel would die in order to bring him back to life. 20 years later the circus led by Emile and Anna (who had changed her appearance using magics) arrived in Stattel to fulfil the counts curse. Emile would seduce and kill the Burgemaster's (one of the counts killers) daughter, and use magics to drive him insane, which eventually led to his death. Emile would also brutally kill an entire family, the father of whom had been one of the counts killers, in his giant panther form, literally ripping them to pieces. Finally he also spread a plague throughout the village, by summoning disease ridden vampire bats who spread the plague, which killed most of the population of the village. Having more or less fulfilled the counts curse, and with only one child left to kill, the daughter of Albert Muller, the counts actual killer. The few remaining villagers attacked the circus killing all of the members in a bloody battle. Anna was killed by Emile when she sacrificed herself to save Alberts daughter, who was also her daughter. Emile would then face the villagers himself, killing many of them, he was however finally slain by Albert Muller, the same man who killed his cousin. Just before he tore Alberts throat out with his teeth killing him, Albert pulled the same stake he had used to kill Count Mitterhouse all those years ago from the counts rotting body and stabbed it through Emiles heart killing him aswell. Nevertheless Emile had succedded in fulfilling his cousins curse and Count Mitterhouse would rise from the grave, only to be slain by a man named Anton before he could cause more havoc.
