Looks pretty awesome. A proper dark, bloody revival of Ravenloft, not the neutered one where most Darklords had no stat blocks and nobody had alignments. Not to mention all the weird gender-swaps of characters like Doctor Victor Mordernheim, Adam, or Vlad Drakov - quite an unnecessary change, when Ravenloft had quite a large number of female Darklords already. I was particularly annoyed that they replaced the super interesting Ulrich von Kharkov (a black Panther turned human, used as an unwilling assassin, gaining sentience, becoming a Vampire of the Khargat (Azalin's secret police) then gaining his own domain) with the really boring Chakuna.
I am surprised by Chtulhu being there, albeit more of a prisoner than a Darklord. And one of the artworks shows a Ythian! I think WotC did not use Lovecraftian mythos before, although they could have at any time, it is in the public domain - and Paizo used it a lot already.
The new player races are mostly ones we had before, but Lupins are interesting. Unlike the Mystara anthro Wolf-people these are a result of a botched infection of lycanthropy and have dread howl and unarmed attack abilities. I do like the artwork shown. Hope there will be minis too!

Were they even used after 2E?
