A Vampire Murder is a gothic murder mystery party perfect for Halloween gatherings, dark and moody dinner parties, vampire-themed events, and fans of all things mysterious and immortal. With rich lore, layered characters, and a chilling setting, this mystery brings the drama of a supernatural thriller right to your living room—or castle. Ideal for groups who love a little bite with their whodunit.
Welcome to Casillero de la Sombra, a remote mountain castle tucked deep in the forest, far from anything resembling civilization. Inside, the Antonov Clan of vampires hides from the daylight and hunts by moonlight, following an ancient code laid down by the vampire royal family in Romania.
But someone just broke that code in the most brutal way possible.
When clan leader Frederik Antonov is found staked in his coffin, the entire household become suspects in a murder that shakes the very foundation of the immortal world. Was it revenge? A power grab? A betrayal centuries in the making?
Gather your sharpest friends (and maybe a little garlic just in case) for a gothic vampire murder mystery party full of secrets, deception, and drama so rich it could wake the dead. Because in this castle, not everyone is who—or what—they claim to be.

Great time! This was our second murder mystery party and it generates huge fanfare each time. The mysteries are set up to be challenging but not overly challenging and its great that everyone can participate without knowing who the killer is beforehand! This company is great to work with and is always accommodating to questions.
The best party – EVER! Shot in the Dark Mysteries made the planning so easy that we could focus on making our basement look like an 80s prom. Our theme was “Chiller Thriller” and we had a blast decorating. Every person that came said they had so much fun and wanted to host their own parties. The idea that no knows who the killer is works so well. Thanks Shot in the Dark Mysteries for providing an easy, fabulous way to have fun with friends!
I love Shot in the Dark mysteries! They made so many of our parties (birthdays, new years, just because!) extra special by getting our friends engaged in solving the crimes! They’re such a great value, and even our friends that aren’t extroverts can get into being a character and sleuthing. I also love that I am able to host and participate in the murder mystery! So much fun!!
