[edit] Plot
In 1939, young Professor Bruttenholm (aka Professor Broom) destroyed Erzsebet Ondrushko, a vampiress who bathed in the blood of innocents to stay young after selling her soul to the Queen of Witches, the goddess Hecate. Years later, a haunting in the Hamptons, on Long Island, is brought to the BPRD's attention. The elderly Professor Bruttenholm decides to investigate it himself, taking top BPRD agents, Hellboy, Liz Sherman, Abe Sapien, and a new BPRD member named Sydney Leach who is more worried about his welfare than a haunting.
Much to Bruttenholm's horror, it turns out that the ghosts are the victims of Erzsebet Ondrushko, who is soon going to be resurrected by her two harpy/hag servants. While the others deal with her hag minions, phantom wolf packs, and a werewolf transformed from one of Bruttenholm's old friends, Bruttenholm settles his affairs with Erzsebet once and for all. Hellboy ends up battling Hecate herself, who has been watching him for some time and desires him to embrace his true destiny: one that includes the destruction of mankind.
Also included is the short film "Iron Shoes", which is based on the Hellboy story of the same name. The Iron Shoes demon is voiced by Dan Castellaneta.
