The coven leader, Julian has been looking to pass his throne to a worthy successor. In order to pass his coveted title, one of the vampires in his coven must fight and kill a sentry – a member of an elite order of vampire hunters. As the legend holds, sentries have fought vampires for millennia, protecting the world and maintaining a necessary balance between good and evil. But the destiny of vampires and sentries alike are forever changed when Will becomes the center of this eternal war.

TEX SAYS: It’s Tony Todd, Jason Connery and C. Thomas Howell. I mean, how bad could it be? Strike that…yikes!

But when you need the job done right, it’s time to call in. Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development–pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz, aquatic empath Abe and protoplasmic mystic Johann–the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who’s accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.
