This is a psychological horror drama with a literary foundation. The story took place in the early19th century (Victorian London). The protagonists include Dr. Frankenstein and the monsters he created, as well as the famous Dorian Gray and the vampire Wang Dracula. Showtime said that this drama is not a pure horror film like Bela Lugosi's, but very realistic. Showtime probably wants to learn from ABC's Once upon a time and mix many classic stories-only Storybrooke is a mixture of fairy tales and fantasy stories, while drama is a mixture of horror stories, thrillers, supernatural stories and supernatural stories.
