I guess Starz put out a couple of animated Hellboy adventures. They might be included in one of the many releases of the Del Toro films, but I've never checked. They managed to get nearly all of the principal actors back to do the voice work, which is nice. Otherwise, this is pretty run of the mill.Hellboy (Ron Perlman), Liz (Selma Blair), Abe (Doug Jones) and Professor Broom (John Hurt) travel to a haunted hotel at the request of a Senator looking for a publicity windfall. However, they find that the owner, Oliver Trumbolt (J. Grant Albrecht), has accidentally brought the infamous vampire Erzsebet the Blood Countess (Kath Soucie) back to life. Professor Broom has history with the Countess, seeing as he's the one who killed her before.
The story of Elizabeth Bathory has been told so many times that it's kind of lost its punch. I enjoyed the Hellboy movies, especially The Golden Army, but this was like a Scooby Doo Saturday morning special. Still, if you're a true devotee, you should probably go ahead and see it.
