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?

If it helps it may have been a demo of an unreleased game.

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

Whoops, its was Transylvania! I spoke too soon. Im sure I played both at around the sametime, but it was Transylvania I remember the most. What a weird game. Thanks again guys.

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.

Thanks again, I managed to get to work in vmac. Now if I can only remember the commands.
