(spooky music)

- Woah there, woah.

(grunts in struggle)

- Hey, be more careful!

The fella said it was real fragile.

- Well he can go to Hell; it's as heavy as a dead man.

- You're right, I wonder what's inside to make it

so damn heavy.

- I'm not interested in that.

He paid us to bring the box here

and that's all I'm interested in.

Said not to unpack it, and leave it in the cellar.

That ain't gonna be easy.

It's stupid to keep going; these hallways'll never end.

Let's leave it in this room here.

- Hey, did you notice the look of that fella

that give us this job?

Give me cold chills.

- Hardly noticed, it was so late.

All I was interested in is the color of his money.

Never saw such a bundle.

- Barker, the station master, told me he was

an Austrian aristocrat.

A real rich aristocrat.

He's a medical doctor, bought the sanitarium,

and is gonna open it real soon.

- That miserable Barker, he's always so well informed.

- Maybe there's scientific instruments inside.

That's worth dough.

What do you think?

- He told us not to open it,

and he said it like he meant it.

Come on, let's go.

- Oh...

Why don't we open it up, just to see what's inside?

Don't worry, we won't bother anything.

Then we'll close it and no one will notice.

- Ah, do what you want.

(struggling with the lid)

(it slowly creaks open)

- Hey, I don't like this.

We better go.

- Don't be so scared.

Come on, let's open it.

The rich sometimes bury their dead, loaded with jewels.

As though they was gonna need them in Hell.

(lid creaks loudly)

(gasp)

Too bad we ain't lucky, my friend.

Just a poor old skeleton.

But why don't we take a look around the house?

The Austrian won't be here for several days,

and maybe we can make more from this job

than we thought we would with a couple of trinkets.

We'll only take a look around this evening.

We come back tomorrow, and then no one will ever suspect us.

- And the coffin; we have to leave it like we found it.

- Bah, don't be worried about that.

We'll fix it tomorrow.

Come on, let's have a look around.

Ah, we're really unlucky.

There ain't nothing but dirt and junk in this hole.

(squealing rats)

(sudden music cue)

(screaming)

(screaming)

- Come on, giddy up there!

Giddy up, ya, ya!

Ya, ya!

- We are passing the place now, where, according to legend,

Jonathan Harker and Dr. Van Helsing were finally able

to destroy the king of the vampires, Count Dracula.

- According to another legend, he was the descendant

of a man who was of great historical importance.

He was a killer prince who fought

against the Turks in 1445.

- That's right.

The old sanatorium will be coming into view real soon now.

You'll be seeing it on the hilltop there.

This region is called Borgo Pass.

- Don't try to scare us, lmre.

Vampires are only a legend of this place.

- Listen to me, my friends.

In this region, anything is possible.

And believe me, I can assure you that Count Dracula existed.

And what's more, I wouldn't even consider denying

that he exists right now.

(coachman continues driving the horses)

- Come on, lmre, don't try and scare us.

- What if he shows up now?

- You know, I'm scared.

- You weren't serious?

- But of course I'm serious.

The old house you see there is the abandoned sanatorium.

It Was built in 1860.

The whole region has a bad reputation.

The sanatorium's patients died very strange deaths.

- Strange death, what do you mean by that?

- Anemia.

Anemia that spread like an epidemic.

The sanatorium's director, a doctor called Jorgo Kargos

was finally brought to trial for prompting the death

of his patients by bloodletting.

They said he used blood in his experiments.

- What did they finally do?

- There was a riot one night, and people attacked

the sanatorium and hung the doctor.

But the next morning, his body had disappeared.

It was never found.

- And the sanatorium?

- Abandoned.

The latest rumor is that it was bought

by an Austrian doctor.

They told me that in Bistritz,

where I had the pleasure of meeting you young ladies.

This Austrian doctor must be an eccentric,

what with the bad reputation of the sanatorium.

It'll be difficult for him to obtain clients.

- You know, you impress me, lmre.

What beautiful stories I'll have to tell

when I return to Munich.

'Ya, ya!

(wheel makes a very bad sound while falling off)

(carriage grinds to a stop)

- What happened?

- We lost the wheel.

We're gonna have to find it.

Can't be too far.

- I'll go look for it.

- Let me go with you.

- It's bad luck.

It's gonna be dark soon.

- Will we have to be here very long?

- At least two hours.

~ Oh!

- But we can't spend the night here.

- Don't worry about it, Karen.

We won't stay over night.

- There's not a trace of that wheel.

It has to be here, though.

It's impossible that it went so far.

- Maybe it rolled off the road?

Don't you think we oughta look in the trees?

- Good idea, come on.

- Woah, woah.

(horse whinny)

Woah there!

Woah there!

(whinflY)

(yells)

- Oh my heavens, he's hurt!

- Or killed!

Oh what are we gonna do?

- Oh he's hurt badly.

It's almost like he had a premonition.

He didn't wanna bring us.

- We can't leave him here.

We have to try and lift him up to the stagecoach.

- Be careful.

- Oh, oh.

- This could be serious.

- What are we gonna do now?

This poor man.

- It's useless, I think we better go back to the others.

(romantic music)

- This is the first time since we left we can be alone,

away from the others.

- You're crazy, it's getting late

and they'll be waiting for us.

- There's absolutely nothing important to me now.

How much longer must we hide our love?

- Sooner or later they'll be discovering us.

Before that, darling, I want to tease you.

(wolf barking and howling)

(horses whinny)

- Why do you suppose they haven't returned?

I'm beginning to get worried

something might've happened to them.

- You think so?

I think our young friend might just be interested

in Marlene, and she's interested too.

Did you notice how she happily volunteered

to help him with the wheel?

- What an imagination you have.

Why do you think badly of everyone else, Senta?

- Shut up, you two, there they come.

- With empty hands.

It's about time, what happened?

- Not a sign of the wheel.

- That's not important now.

Something terrible's happened.

- One of the horses killed the coachman.

- That's horrible.

What are we going to do now?

(distant thunder)

- The storm will be here in a few minutes.

There's nothing else but to try to reach the sanatorium.

They might be able to help us.

- And leave this poor man by himself?

- We can't do anything for him now.

- I think we should've stayed in the stagecoach.

With what lmre told us, I'm scared.

- You're silly; that happened a long time ago.

- Maybe we won't find anyone there.

- Hey, you know lmre might know something else.

Imre, if you don't mind, would you tell us anything else

you might know regarding the old sanatorium?

- I told you practically everything I know about it.

For over 10 years now it's been empty.

In its time, it was the most luxurious clinic in Europe.

A real palace.

And it also had the latest medical equipment.

- Hey that might be why the Austrian doctor

bought the place.

- That's possible.

But I don't think he'll have much success.

- What kind of a man is he?

- I don't know.

He spent a couple of days in Bistritz,

but few people saw him.

I understand he's a rich man who plans to dedicate himself

to scientific investigation.

- There's no doubt about it, he has to be a lonely man

to spend his life in this place.

- I hope he hasn't arrived yet.

- Don't say that, simpleton.

That's all we need is to find the sanatorium closed,

and then we'd have to sleep outside.

- It won't be long and we'll know.

(foreboding music)

- Looks to me like it's empty.

It couldn't be more scary.

- I think we better leave.

- Don't be silly.

I'm sure this doctor lmre told us about is already here.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's a blue blooded prince.

- You'd like that, wouldn't you?

- You bet I would.

At least a prince wouldn't take me looking for wheels.

Flhundefl

- It looks like no one's home.

(bell rings)

flhundefl

- Good evening.

Pardon our intrusion at this hour,

but we had a terrible accident and we need your help.

- I'm Dr Marlow.

I'll be glad to help you.

Won't you come in?

Flhundefl

- This is Marlene.

And these young ladies are Karen, Senta, and Elke.

My name is lmre Polvi.

I used to live in this area.

I had the pleasure of knowing my companions in Bistritz

and we decided to take a tour together.

But, unfortunately, our stagecoach lost a wheel,

and the coachman was killed by one of the horses.

- Maybe Dr Marlow has a carriage we could use

to return to Bistritz?

- I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no means

of transport at the moment.

- Do you happen to know someplace we

could spend the night?

It's so late.

- You needn't worry about that.

If you'll accept, you may be my guests for a few nights.

Inside of a week or more, the man that brings my supplies'll

be here, and you can go back with him.

- A week, but that's much too long to wait!

- But if we're here for a week,

that'll be an awfully big complication for you.

Isn't there some hotel where we might stay?

- I'm afraid no.

I'd like to assure you, it's no bother to have you.

- And the coachman?

We can't possibly leave him outside.

- Don't worry about that.

For the moment, I'd like to make you

as comfortable as possible,

and later I'll worry about the coachman's body myself.

Do you think you could repair the stagecoach, Mr Polvi?

- I'm afraid I'd be incapable of doing it alone.

And then the horses escaped.

- I don't think I can help you with that.

I'm useless with things of that kind.

I can only repeat the invitation I offered.

This house isn't too comfortable,

but at least you have a roof to protect you.

- You're very kind, Dr Marlow, thank you.

We'll accept your hospitality for tonight.

- For me, it'll be a pleasure to have you as guests

for as long as necessary.

The only thing I'm sorry about is

I can't offer you better accommodations.

(distant howling)

They're wolves.

There're still a few remaining in the region.

At night they come down from the hills.

- Thank heavens we don't have to spend the night outside.

- As you can see, the house is somewhat rundown.

I've tried to repair it, but I can't find

workers willing to come here.

- Is that because of that story about the sanatorium?

Imre told us about it.

- Exactly.

They say this house has a curse on it,

so I'll have to get the workers from Budapest.

But I don't want you all to worry about it.

I fixed up some bedrooms, and I hope

you don't find them too uncomfortable.

- I'm scared, Marlene.

- You be quiet; he'll hear you.

- You're very kind, Dr Marlow.

One could almost say that you knew of our arrival.

- In such a remote location, hospitality is a way of life.

I imagine you have an appetite.

I've already dined.

My provisions are modest, but nevertheless,

I'll prepare you dinner.

- I don't know what you think about it,

but I don't like his house.

- Sure can't say this house is cheerful.

- You two heard the doctor: there's no other place

where we can spend the night.

- Come on, girls.

Get rid of those long faces.

You really don't think the doctor could be a vampire

or any of those other characters

you have in your imagination?

- I'd say that Dr Marlow's attractive.

I think Dr Marlow's handsome, don't you?

I find him very interesting.

- The truth is, I don't share your tastes.

I prefer my men slimmer and taller.

- Not I, I like my men strong.

Did you notice what shoulders he has?

And besides, apart from lmre, who only has eyes for Marlene.

- You haven't changed since college.

The only thing you can think of is men.

You'd flirt with a broom if it had pants.

- And you're a puritan like always.

- Blow out the candles, will you?

- Already?

- I'm dying with sleep.

- I'm scared.

Something tells me we shouldn't stay in this house.

- Listen, silly, you were frightened about those stories

of lmre's and the coachman's death.

Dr Marlow seems like a person you can trust.

- I don't know.

There's a strange electricity that's

floating in the air, Marlene.

Just thinking of sleeping alone scares me.

I'm awfully frightened.

Stay with me, won't you please?

- Come on, Elke, there's only one bed and a dirty mattress.

We'd both be uncomfortable.

- Whatever you say.

- Don't worry, honey.

(cat howls)

(shrieks)

flhundefl

flhundefl

flhundefl

(romantic music)

(repetitive slacking noise)

(screams)

- Karen!

Is she hurt, Doctor?

- No, she's alright.

I found her in the hallway.

Something must've frightened her.

She's fainted, that's all.

- Oh Karen.

- There was a horrible man in the hallway, staring at me.

That's all I remember.

He was awful looking.

- Must've been a tramp.

When the sanatorium was abandoned,

they used to take refuge here during bad weather.

- How is she, Doctor?

- Her pulse has returned to normal.

Calm yourself now.

No one will bother you.

- Thank you very much for everything you've done

for me, Doctor.

- I didn't do anything of importance.

If you don't mind, I have to go now.

Have a good night's rest.

- Many thanks, Dr Marlow.

Don't worry, Karen.

He was right, honey, I'm sure it was only a tramp.

- I'm sure of it, but he gave me an awful fright.

- It's from our host.

He excuses himself for not spending the day with us.

And the small breakfast he left us.

- I don't suppose you happen to know where he went?

- I believe that the doctor is a hunting enthusiast.

He says in his note that he went to check his traps.

- Yeah, probably to see if he caught

any tourists last night.

- That's not news, I know of one tourist

he's already caught.

- You know something, I think we ought to

fix the stagecoach, round up the horses,

and leave this place.

- But we can't leave without saying goodbye.

He's been kind to us.

- And Dr Marlow says he hopes to see us this evening.

- That's even more reason to stay.

- You can't imagine how scared I was last night.

And I had to sleep alone.

- I'm sure you were the only one.

(pretty music)

(laughing)

- Isn't that fantastic?

- I've never seen anything so pretty.

- Who'd imagine finding something like this?

- Is it awful cold?

- Course not.

- No, it's delicious, come on in.

- Come on in for a swim.

- Does it get as deep as you?

- No, you can see it's not, silly.

(screams)

- What if our host showed up now?

What would he think?

- Don't say that!

(laughing)

- Know something?

I'm glad all this happened.

A whole week we can be together.

I only wish we could go away somewhere.

- If you want, it can be arranged.

- No, lmre.

When we return to Bistritz, we have to separate.

- Not for always.

- Who knows?

It's not to do with what I want, darling,

it's just that I must go home again.

I don't know what my father's decided about us,

but let's not speak of that, it makes me so sad.

- You're right.

But we still have a whole week together, darling.

- This week will be unforgettable, I promise you.

- No, I don't think we should be doing this.

Dr Marlow might get angry.

- That's nonsense, he's so handsome and hospitable.

He just has to be hiding something in this house.

- What do you see in him anyway?

- Nothing, ljust happen to like him, that's all.

- I still don't think we ought to do this.

It would be better if we took a walk in the woods.

- I wouldn't think of it.

We have to take advantage of his absence

to search the house.

We'll just leave lmre and Marlene all by themselves,

poor things are so much in love.

(creaking floorboards)

- You see, Senta, just like the others.

Spiderwebs and old furniture.

- Now that we've seen everything, we better be going,

don't you think?

- No, we might miss something interesting.

- But what we've already seen, Senta,

isn't interesting at all.

- Why don't we go down to the cellar?

You can see there's nothing but junk up here.

- There'll be rats in there and other bad things.

I'm scared and I'm going.

- Always the same.

Don't worry, we'll defend you.

What did I tell you, I'm sure that secrets

are behind this door.

- We shouldn't do that, Senta.

- Don't open that door!

- Well if secrets are here, they're well guarded.

- Let's go back upstairs right now, do you hear me?

- Yes, come on, we better go.

- It's our last opportunity to be indiscreet.

I finally found something interesting.

Come on, Elke, come and take a look.

You're going to be very, very surprised.

- What is it?

- You'll be surprised.

- It's magnificent, it's a library.

- Old medical books.

There's nothing interesting here.

- The Memoirs of Professor Van Helsing.

You know, it looks like someone's been

reading it lately.

It has the place mark.

- Let me see Senta.

"Now I'm certain that Dracula has returned.

"We weren't able to destroy Dracula in Borgo Pass,

"and his terrible power has manifested itself once again."

(gasp)

- What's the matter?

- I'm sorry, but I can't go on reading that.

- Come on, stupid, you don't believe in this nonsense.

I'll read it.

"Because Dracula is immortal, he's a sadistic beast

"and what's more, a devil that follows men wherever

"he may go, it's possible for us to destroy

"his carnal existence.

"The devilish perversity that exists in Dracula

"will reincarnate itself.

"Once more, terror and death for all of us,

"and for all humanity."

- What's the matter?

- Nothing, shall I go on?

- Leave it, I'm getting nervous.

- Go on, Senta.

(clock chimes)

- "l'm also afraid that his cruel daughter Radna

"will return in the same way.

"L shudder just thinking about her new reincarnation.

"Her new appearance.

"How might we recognize her?

"How might we destroy her once more?

"From her ashes will generate a new Dracula, therefore,

"each generation will know a Dracula

"in a completely new form, a thousand times

"more perverse than the one we fought.

"And whenever man's blood is drawn by his brother,

"Dracula will return to punish this horror with horror."

That fraidycat Elke's afraid to sleep alone.

So, it's my turn tonight on that dirty old mattress.

- You shouldn't feel that way, Senta,

she's awfully frightened.

- See you in the morning.

- Listen, Senta.

' Yes?

- Dr Marlow hasn't returned.

I don't think he's hunting at these hours, do you?

- He'll be here soon.

We shouldn't be worried about the doctor.

Nothing's happened, don't worry.

See you in the morning.

- In the morning.

(door closes)

"Dracula is immortal.

"He's the prince of the darkest unknown.

"We can only destroy his carnal existence.

"Time after time, he'll return from his ashes

"and each new life will surpass in horror the one before.

"The slight hope lightens my heart,

"that the prince of darkness will not acquire

"the true potential of his bewitching power,

"until he encounters a true virgin that will fall in love

"with a vampire in a natural way.

"Giving herself to him without the need

"of his diabolical power.

"The blood of this young virgin will restore

"Dracula's evil superiority, and his life breath

"will revive once more his daughter Radna.

"My sincerest desire is that this young virgin

"never be born."

(ominous music)

(sounds of struggle)

(yelling while dying)

(spooky music)

(distressed animal noises)

- [Marlow] Good evening, Karen.

- Doctor!

- [Marlow] Something wrong?

- I didn't expect to find you.

When did you return?

- Only a few moments ago.

Can I do anything for you?

- Oh, don't worry, Doctor.

It's just that I can't sleep.

How was your hunting today?

- Not so good.

If you can't sleep, maybe we can take a stroll

in the garden?

It's a beautiful night, and a full moon.

- Awalk in the moonlight?

Don't you believe that's too romantic?

You've convinced me.

(spooky music)

It's a shame that such a beautiful garden

is so neglected.

It's so strange to find this house in the middle of nowhere.

- The former owner was an extraordinary person.

He was a real art lover.

He brought Arabian artisans from Turkey,

just to decorate the garden.

- Is it true what they say about him?

- What are you referring to?

- His passion for blood.

Imre told us some things about the strange personality

of Count Dracula.

Some people claim that Count Dracula and Dr Kargos

were one in the same person.

- I really don't know what to tell you.

But you mustn't put too much in what the farmers say.

This region is rich in legends.

Even if Dr Kargos didn't pass the limits

with his experiments, I'm sure that ignorance

and superstition did the rest.

- Then you don't believe in vampires?

- I didn't say that.

There are many questions for which science has no answers.

Life and death are two of them.

- But how is it that a scientist has a formulated opinion?

- No, the true man of science rarely confirms anything.

I would say he doubts everything.

- But Dr Marlow, do you think the myth could be true?

- Why not?

The majority of myths have an authentic origin.

The quest for immortality is one of the great

desires of mankind.

- If the legend of Dracula is true,

the price to be paid is awfully high.

It's just terrible.

- You're right.

The cost is horror and eternal loneliness.

- I don't wanna mix in your private life,

but I can't begin to understand

what compels you to live here.

- Simply that I'm a man that likes the country.

In love with peace and quiet.

- Have you ever thought of starting up the

sanatorium again,

Dr Marlow?

- It was my intention at first,

but I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

The truth is I haven't been worrying too much about it.

- I don't wanna offend you,

but you seem to be acting strange,

like the stories of your predecessor.

Will you leave us again tomorrow?

- I'm afraid so.

My traps require constant attention.

I have to check them daily.

- Do you hunt much?

- No, not much.

Have you noticed the plant life in this region

is somewhat rare?

Some plants are poisonous, but some are medicinal, too.

I often collect them.

- Have you ever thought of making a love potion?

- The truth, Karen, is that I've never been in love.

- I'm sorry, I was very indiscreet.

I was only joking with you.

It's not strange what you say.

Your life is so lonely and apart from the rest of the world.

- That might be the reason that your arrival

has made me very happy.

- If you don't mind, I'd like to go inside.

I have a chill all of a sudden.

- But of course, Karen.

(Karen and Marlow conversing)

- [Karen] This garden is so beautiful.

- [Marlow] Yes.

- [Karen] And by moonlight it seems so romantic.

- [Marlow] The former owner had a great affection for it.

- Well now, it looks as though you've taken up

the study of vampires in seriousness.

- This is very interesting reading.

- Really?

- That book makes me nervous.

Please, let's go take a walk.

- Oh, by the way, where's lmre and Marlene?

- They're not in their bedrooms.

- But that's strange.

- It's not strange.

They're probably out for a walk.

It's logical, they're both in love.

- I don't believe we're going to see

the doctor today, either.

- He's checking his traps, as he does every day.

- If I see the doctor tonight, he's going to forget it.

- Forget what?

- His hunting and his traps, what do you think?

- Can you tell me what you see in Dr Marlow?

- His air of mystery attracts me.

- Well not me.

Come on, we better try to find lmre and Marlene,

and your mysterious Dr Marlow.

- Every once in a while, you have a brilliant idea, my dear.

Shall we go?

- Let's go.

(foreboding music)

- I thought we were going to have a wonderful day,

but lmre and Marlene have ruined it for us.

- It's like the earth just swallowed them up.

All day looking and nothing.

- I'm scared something happened to them.

I think we ought to go back.

After looking for them all day, they might be waiting for us

at the sanatorium.

- You might be right, besides, it's getting awfully late.

- Hey listen, why don't we take a shortcut

through the woods?

(shouts)

- Senta, what's the matter?

- Oh I can't move!

It's my leg, it hurts me so.

- It's a trap.

Must be one of Wendell's.

- Hold still.

I'm trying to open it.

- Lift your foot.

- It's out, careful.

- Does it hurt?

- A little bit, but I think I can walk.

- Let's go back to the road, it's much safer there.

- You're right.

(bell rings)

- I've been worried.

I was looking for you girls everywhere.

- Senta caught her leg in one of your traps, Dr Marlow.

- Oh I'm sorry.

It's all my fault, and I'm awfully sorry.

Please forgive me.

Does it hurt?

- A little bit.

- Come inside and I'll take care of it.

- Have you seen lmre and Marlene, Dr Marlow?

- No, I haven't seen them all day.

But weren't they with you?

- They must've gone too far, and now

they're probably lost in the forest.

- That just might be.

We'll worry about them later, maybe they'll find a way back.

Come, let's go in.

(ominous music)

(gasp)

If you don't mind, would you finish cleaning her leg, Karen?

I'm going for some disinfectant.

- Poor Wendell, your accident has affected him so.

He must be a very sensitive man.

- I don't believe that's logical.

That's his profession.

- Quiet you two, he might return at any moment.

- I'm afraid it's going to sting.

- Yes, it stings.

- You have no idea how sorry I am for what happened.

- Don't worry for me.

- Is it serious?

- Tomorrow it'll be fine.

The ankle might be swollen somewhat.

What you need now is rest.

- It won't be easy sleeping on that mattress.

I couldn't sleep a wink last night.

- Don't worry, Senta, you can have my room.

I'll sleep with Elke.

- Oh you're an angel.

- Now you have to go to bed and rest.

- But we mustn't do that!

We have to wait for lmre and Marlene.

- Don't worry, I'll wait for them.

- But d--

- Don't worry, they'll be here.

Go to bed now.

- Thanks for fixing my leg, Wendell.

See you in the morning.

- It was my fault.

See you in the morning.

- Goodnight, Wendell.

- [Ghostly Voice] Elke.

Elke.

(tense music)

- Wendell.

- Anything wrong?

- [Voiceover] The prince of darkness will not acquire

the true potential of his bewitching power,

until he encounters a true virgin

that will fall in love with the vampire in a natural way.

Giving herself to him without the need

of his diabolical powers.

(mysterious music)

(sounds of struggle)

- Wendell, tell me what's wrong.

I suppose I know what's wrong.

I cheated you, right?

Is it so important to you, darling?

That I've been with other men?

- We shouldn't have done this.

Love is, love is much more, for me anyway.

- Are you in love with someone else, my darling?

- No, it's not that.

- Yes, you are too.

I beg you, please, don't leave me like this.

Come here.

You see!

At this very moment you're thinking of her!

(threatening music)

Wendell.

(screams)

Wendell, please don't go.

(fighting sounds)

(screams while crashing through window)

- It was lmre.

That monster was lmre.

- He's dead, my dear, you have nothing to worry about.

- And those stories about vampires are true.

Someone had to convert lmre into that awful monster.

If it was a vampire, maybe the same thing happened

to Senta, Marlene, and Elke.

- Don't get excited, please, Karen.

- We have to find them.

We have to find them right away.

- I'll find them right away.

(spooky music)

- Hurry, hUTTY-

They're not here.

Imre or that other monster must've killed them.

There must be another vampire.

- Maybe they're hiding in another room.

We have to keep on looking.

- It's useless.

I'm certain they've all died.

How's it possible you've lived in this place

for such a long time?

- I never suspected something like this.

We have to leave here as soon as possible.

- I can't possibly do that until I find my friends.

Wendell, this is horrible.

(weird hissing)

He's the same one, Wendell, that I saw outside my bedroom!

He's a vampire, I know!

(growling and fighting)

Wendell!

Wendell!

- Kargos!

(screaming)

(gross gurgling)

No, Karen, please don't die.

What'll happen to me?

I need you, Karen.

Karen.

(threatening music)

Here, take this, it'll make you feel better.

And stop worrying.

No one's going to hurt us now.

- My friends, where are they?

- I'm sorry, Karen, they disappeared into thin air.

Maybe for the best.

- We must leave here as soon as we can.

Please, we must go.

- No, calm down now.

You've nothing to be afraid of.

I'm never going to leave your side.

You'll be well soon, then we can think about leaving.

- Wendell, I don't know what would've happened

to me these last few days without you.

They've been the most terrible and the happiest days

of my life.

- I have something to tell you.

Karen, I...

- You don't have to say anything.

Actually, there's much more descriptive than words.

I know you love me, Wendell.

I know because of all the things you've done for me.

- You don't have to be grateful to me for that, Karen.

- It's not gratefulness.

It's something much more than that.

Much more.

I love you.

- I'm the happiest man in the world.

I'm very pleased.

You're completely well now.

We can leave tomorrow.

- Yes, darling.

But there's one thing that keeps me

from being completely happy.

It's impossible for me to forget about my friends.

We went to school together, we were friends

for years, Wendell.

I can't get used to the idea of having lost them.

- I understand, Karen.

It's terrible to lose your loved ones.

I don't know, but maybe they're still alive.

Maybe they escaped.

But whatever happened to them,

they're not in the sanatorium.

- You're right as always.

Maybe someday we'll know what happened to them.

If you want, we'll leave here tomorrow.

- Drink this medicine.

A good night's sleep is what you need, a lot of sleep.

- But, darling, I don't want to sleep.

(eerie music)

Wendell?

Wendell, where are you?

Wendell, where are you?!

Wendell?

(screams)

- Karen.

Karen.

Karen.

(door squeals open)

Karen.

Karen.

Karen.

Karen.

(gasp)

Karen.

(shrill music cue)

- You once belonged to Dracula.

And now you've returned to his side for the ceremony

which signifies the rebirth of his origin.

Your blood, which until now has been prohibited,

will be his nourishment.

In this manner, you'll be united forever

with the prince of darkness.

My daughter Radna must return to life.

On the night of the next full moon,

Countess Dracula will rise again.

Once more, we'll be infinitely all-powerful.

Once more, the world will know the empire of darkness.

And now, the ceremony must begin.

As your blood flows painlessly, it unites you with Dracula.

Remain without fear.

Your life is not in danger, because the power of the unknown

goes beyond death.

And now, you'll remain a prisoner of Dracula,

until the final ceremony has been performed.

(tense music)

- Sir, oh sir, please help me, sir.

Please, sir.

My foot's caught.

Help me, help me.

My foot's all torn up.

Please, sir, help me.

Oh no, no, no!

(screams)

- Come on, Helga.

Hurry up, it's going to be dark soon.

(horse whinny)

(whinflY)

(weird snarling)

(screams)

- Leave my daughter alone!

Leave her alone, do you hear?

(hits the floor)

(snarling)

(screams)

- You must come with me.

Soon we'll be united forever, and nothing

or no one will separate us.

For you, Dracula has been a different being

during this time.

Because of you, he has been restored his human existence

that was lost many centuries ago.

But no one can escape his destiny.

Dracula will always be horror and loneliness.

It is you who must exchange your existence for that of his,

if you really love him.

(yelling)

The ceremony must continue.

The prince of darkness demands the torturing

and suffering of an innocent.

Then the blood of the girl that loved the prince of darkness

and the blood of the virgin that has been tortured

will be mixed together, thereby creating a new physical body

for his daughter, Radna.

(gasp)

(yelling)

flhundefl

(yelling)

The life breath of Satan is with us.

When the moon appears again, you, Karen,

of your own desire, will accept an existence like ours.

The ceremony will be continued, and the Countess Dracula

will return to life.

Flhundefl

- Help!

Please help me!

Hey help me!

(spooky music)

(screams)

No!

(crying)

(screams)

- It's not the first time that a vampire has loved

a daughter of man.

I love you, but I can't obligate you to share my destiny.

For your love, I'll renounce the restoring to life

of my daughter, Radna.

For the first time, the love of a woman

has changed the destiny of Dracula.

The daughter of the prince of darkness will have to wait

to rise from the dead.

But her body must be protected from the evil stares

of mortal men.

(Splash)

(gasp)

No!

You don't have to defend yourself.

You have nothing to be frightened of.

Everyone, including Radna, have disappeared.

And once more, Dracula asks you to share his destiny.

(birds chirping)

You have served Dracula well.

Now you can return to your original form.

Dracula needs you no longer.

(painful groaning)

For the last time, I beg you that you will renounce

your human existence and unite with me.

- But I can't.

- For the first time, love brings a finish

to the life of Dracula.

(death groans)

(crying)

Karen...

Karen...

- Come back, my love.

Come back.

Come back, my love.

(tense music)

(ominous music)
