Classic Mac game?

Classic Mac game?

I'm trying to remember a classic mac game from the mid 80s. It would have run on a Mac 512k. It was some kind of adventure game kind of like King's Quest, but horror/mystery genre, where you would wander around looking for clues, opening things, talking to people, etc. It had black and white graphics and involved either werewolves or vampires. Or perhaps both. I'm pretty sure it had vampires.

Anyone know what game this was?

Wow. This screenshot brings back memories. (It was in B&W on the Mac, obviously.)

Huh. I was wondering if it could have been Dark Castle, but apparently not. It ruined that passage of Bach for me -- I keep listening for the squeaky bats.
