Hadn't really thought of it as a Castlevania pastiche but now that you mention it there's definitely similarities. I was going more for a Universal Horror thing, like what they tried (and failed badly) to do a few years back with the Tom Cruise mummy movie. Of course it'd be a broad interpretation, more of an inspiration rather than an exact copy. So people would of course be free to do their own characters or reimagine the classics- for instance I was planning to have a Phantom of the Opera character.

Basically think [i]The Monster Squad[/i] without the kids, if that makes sense.

Also, was thinking a modern setting, but wondered if people might have fun with the 30s setting of the classic movies. Just a thought, either sounds good.
