You may not recognize Drac's Night Out as a common NES game. The Milton Bradley game is available to us only through a prototype of a likely unfinished product. It was never officially released on the NES.

The game begins normally enough like any other Dracula game (See: Castlevania) with the 'Big Man' hanging in his humble abode in Trannsylania; all except for one minor little detail--his castle is teeming with pissed-off villagers that would very much like to make tonight Drac's final "night out". I guess the best way to think of the beginning scenes inside of the castle is it's very much the same level-linear adventure as Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle. And then there's also an overhead RPG-town-like sequence in the nearby village later on in the game where Dracula must find his lovely Mina at.

You're probably saying outloud to yourself: "Honey child, nothing sounds at all weird about Drac's Night Out in that description. Where's the beef?"
