I thought it was brilliant (and genuinely quite scary - I would have been about ten at the time!)
It was also written up as a novel trilogy.

Also try "The Keep" by F Paul Wilson for WW2 and "Twelve" by Jasper Kent for Napoleonic vampires.

In conventional T2K a castle, a plague of rats, a pet wolf, superstitious villagers, etc could make the players (and villagers) THINK the marauder chief is a vampire (especially if he survived a wound using a hidden flak jacket) - he might even believe it himself.
