Count Dracula's Great Love (1973) - full transcript

Stranded at the foot of the Carpathians after a bloody accident at the infamous Borgo Pass, a quintet of passengers--four young women and a man--seek shelter in the latest acquisition of eccentric Dr Wendell Marlowe: a cavernous former sanatorium. Now, the guests have no other option but to spend the night in the cold, rumour-ridden castle; however, it is not before long that, one after another, they fall under the spell of their courteous, cryptic host. But, if the hair-raising legend of vampires is true, what will it take to rid the land of Count Dracula's unholy stigma?

You should be more careful,
he warned us it was very fragile.

To hell with that,
it's as heavy as a dead man.

You're right. I'd like to know
what's inside that's so heavy.

I really don't care.

They've paid us very well to bring
the box here and that's enough for me.

He said not to unpack it,
and leave it in the cellar.

It won't be easy
getting it down there.

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

Let's leave it in this room.

Did you notice the look on that man
who gave us the job?

- Gave me chills.
- I barely noticed,



it was too late and I was only
interested in the money.

I assure you I'd never seen
a bundle like that.

Barton from the station
told me he's an English aristocrat.

He's a very rich man.

He's a doctor.
He's bought the sanitarium

and it seems he's going
to open it again.

That stinking Barton,
always so well informed.

There could be valuable
scientific instruments in here,

don't you think?
That means money.

He told us not to open it
and looked like he was serious.

Come on, let's go.

- We've already finished our job.
- Why don't we open it,

and see what's inside.

- Let's go.
- Don't worry, man.



- Then we'll close it and none'll
know.

- Do what you want.

We better leave right now,
I don't like this.

Come on, let's open it.

Rich people bury their dead
loaded with jewels.

As if they're going
to need them in hell.

We ain't lucky, my friend.
It's just an old skeleton.

Why don't we take a look
around the house?

The Englishman won't be here
for a few more days.

Maybe this job will turn out to be
more lucrative than we thought.

We'll just take a look around,
tomorrow we can come back.

Forcing the door no one
will ever suspect us.

But... what about the coffin?
We have to leave it as we found it.

Come on, don't worry,
we'll be back tomorrow.

It's useless Lajos, there's only dirt
and garbage here.

We're passing the place where,
according to regional legends,

Jonathan Harker
and Dr. Van Helsing

finally destroyed
the king of the vampires.

Count Dracula.

According to the legend he was a
descendant

of a great historical figure.

A blood thirsty prince that
fought the Turks in 1445.

We'll see soon the ruins
of the castle.

They're very close to the city.

This is Borgo Pass.

Don't always try to scare us,

The vampire is just a legend
from your country.

Listen to me, my friends.
This is a region in which

everything is possible.

I can assure you that
Count Dracula existed.

What's more, I wouldn't dare
deny that he still exists.

- Come Imre, don't frighten us.
- And if he shows up right now?

- I'm scared now.
- You can't be serious.

Very serious.

That old house you see there
is an abandoned sanatorium,

it was built in 1860.

Just like the rest of the area,
has a bad reputation,

- the patients died in strange ways.
- What do you mean by that?

Anemia, anemia that spread
like an epidemic.

Its director, one Yorga Kardos,
was finally accused

of causing the death of his patients
by bloodletting.

They say he used it
in his experiments.

- What did they do to him?
- There was a riot.

One day the people attacked
the sanitorium and hung the doctor.

But the following morning his body
had disappeared,

and it was never found.

- And the sanatorium?
- It was abandoned.

Latest rumor is it was bought
by an English doctor.

That's what I was told in Bistritz
where I'd the pleasure of meeting you.

That Englishman must be an eccentric.

With the bad reputation of this place

it will be very difficult for him
to find clients.

You've impressed me Imre.

I'll have many tales to tell
when I return to Munich.

- What happened?
- We've lost a wheel.

We've got to find it,
it can't be too far.

- I'll go look for it.
- I'll go with you.

- Damn it, it's going to be dark soon.
- Will we have to be here long?

At least two hours,
and that's if we're lucky.

But we can't spend the night here!

Don't worry Karen,
everything will be alright.

There's no trace of the wheel.

It has to be around here,
it couldn't have gone so far.

Maybe it went off the road,
we should look in the trees.

Ok, let's go.

Keep still, keep still!

Keep still, keep still!

Oh my God!

- He's dead!
- It's horrible.

It's like he had a premonition.

He didn't want us to come
to this place.

We can't leave him here, let's try
to get him into the stagecoach.

Careful.

Poor thing.
What are we going to do now?

It's useless, we better go back.

This is the first moment since we left
that we can be alone.

You're crazy. It's getting late.
They're waiting for us.

I don't care about anything else.

How long will we keep hiding?

Sooner or later they'll find out,
but first I want to tease you.

Why they haven't returned yet?

I'm worried, something must
have happened to them.

You think so?

I think our young friend
is very interested in Marlene,

and she's interested too.

Did you notice how quickly
she offered to help him?

What an imagination you have.

I don't know how you always
think the worst of everyone else.

Look, here they come!

And empty handed.

It's about time, what happened?

- Not a trace of the wheel.
- That doesn't matter anymore,

something terrible has happened.

One of the horses killed
the coachman.

It's horrible, what can we do?

The storm will be here
in a few minutes.

There's no choice but to get
to the sanatorium,

perhaps they can help us.

And leave this poor man's body
by itself?

We can't do anything
for him anymore.

We should have stayed inside
the stagecoach.

After what Imre told us I'm scared.

Nonsense, that happened
a long time ago.

We might not find anyone.

Maybe Imre knows something else.

Imre, if you don't mind we'd like you
to keep telling us things

about that sanatorium.

I've told you practically
everything I know.

The sanatorium has been
abandoned for 10 years.

In its time was one of the most
luxurious in the country,

...a real palace.

And it had the latest advances,

both in the facilities and
the instruments.

That maybe the reason
why that English doctor bought it.

It's possible, but I don't think
he'll have much success.

- And what's that man like?
- I don't know.

He was in Bistritz a few days
but very few people saw him.

I understand he's very rich and plans
to dedicate himself to

clinical research.

There's no doubt he has to be a
lonely man to live in this place.

- I'd prefer he hasn't arrived yet.
- Don't say that.

We wouldn't want to find
the sanatorium closed,

and then have to sleep outside.

We'll know soon enough.

Looks like it's abandoned,

and it couldn't be more scary.

- I think we better go back.
- Don't be so fearful,

I'm sure that man Imre talked about
is already here.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was
a real Prince Charming.

What else would you want?

You bet I would.

At least he wouldn't take me
looking for wheels.

It seems there is no one inside.

Forgive our intrusion at this hour,

but we've had a terrible accident
and we need help.

I'll be glad to help you.
I'm Dr. Wendell Marlowe.

Come on in.

Allow me to introduce us.

These ladies are Karen,
Senta, Elke and Marlene.

My name is Imre Foldi.

I'm from this region.

I had the pleasure of knowing
my companions in Bistritz

and we decided to go
for a tour together.

But unfortunately our stagecoach
had an accident.

And one of the horses killed
the coachman

Perhaps Mr. Marlowe has a cart that
we could use to return to Bistritz.

I'd like to be able to help you,

but sadly I don't have
any means of transportation.

Do you know any place we can
spend the night? It's so late.

You shouldn't worry, if you accept,
you may be my guests.

Within a week the man who
brings my supplies will be here.

- You could go with him.
- A week? That's a very long time.

If we stay for a week, it would be
an awfully big complication for you.

Is there any other hotel
where we can stay?

I'm afraid not. In any case,
it's no bother.

And what will we do
with the coachman?

We can't leave him like that.

Don't worry. For the moment
I'll try make you comfortable.

Later I'll try to bring
the coachman's body here.

Do you think you could repair
the stagecoach, Mr. Foldi?

I fear that I'd be unable
to do it alone.

And besides, the horses escaped.

I don't think I could be useful,
I'm terrible at these things.

I can only repeat my offer
already made.

This isn't very comfortable,

but at least you'll have
a roof to protect you.

You're very kind, Mr. Marlowe.

We'll accept your hospitality tonight.

It would be a pleasure to have you
as guests as long as necessary.

The only thing I'm sorry about is I
can't offer you better accommodations.

Those are wolves.

There are still a few in the region

and at night they come down
from the hills.

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

As you can see it's a bit rundown.

I've tried to fix it but I haven't
found workers willing to come.

Because of the sanatorium's story?

Imre has told us something
about it.

Exactly.
They say this place is cursed.

I'll have to bring them
from Budapest.

But, you don't have to worry.

I've repaired some bedrooms

and I hope you don't find them
too uncomfortable.

- I'm afraid.
- Be quiet please, he'll hear you.

You're very kind.

One could almost say that...
you knew of our arrival.

In such a remote place,
hospitality is necessary.

I imagine you're hungry.
I've already had dinner.

My pantry is modest.

But I'll prepare something for you.

I don't know what you think
but I don't like this place.

Of course,
this place is very baleful.

You heard him,
there's no other place nearby.

Please, what's with those faces?

I don't think the doctor
looks like a vampire,

or any other of those
other sinister characters.

I'd say he's very attractive.

I definitely like the doctor,
I find him quite interesting.

I really don't share your tastes,
I prefer men tall and thinner.

I don't, I like strong men.
Did you see the back on him?

Besides, apart from Imre
who only has eyes for Marlene...

You're just like in college,
only thinking of men.

You'd do it with a broom
as long as it wore pants.

And you're puritan as always.

Please, blow out the candles,
will you?

I'm falling asleep.

I'm scared, something tells me
we shouldn't stay long in this house.

Don't be silly.

You're just scared because of Imre's
stories and the coachman's death.

Dr. Marlowe seems like
a trustworthy person.

I don't know,
there's something strange here,

something floating in the air.

Just thinking I have to sleep alone...

I'm scared Marlene,
stay with me, please.

Come Elke, there's only one bed here.

And a dirty mattress.
We'd be very uncomfortable.

As you wish.

Rest well.

- Karen! What happened to her?
- Don't be alarmed.

I found her in the hall,
something must have scared her

and she fainted.

- Karen...
- A man...

A horrible man was staring at me.

He was in the hall behind a pillar.

I don't remember anything else.

It must have been a tramp.

When the sanatorium was abandoned
they would take shelter in it.

How is she Doctor?

Her pulse is going back to normal.

Calm yourself,
no one will enter the house.

I'm very grateful for all
you've done for me, Dr. Marlowe.

I didn't do anything of importance.

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

Have a good night's rest.

Thank you very much, Dr. Marlowe.

Don't be upset Karen, he's right.
It must have been a tramp.

Of course, but he gave me
quite a fright.

It's from our host.

He excuses himself for not spending
the day with us.

- And for the meager breakfast.
- And does it say why he left?

It seems he's a hunting enthusiast.

He says he went out
to check the traps.

Perhaps to see if some tourist
fell in one.

It wouldn't be surprising.
I think one has been trapped already.

I think we must fix the stagecoach,

try to recover the horses and leave.

We can't leave without saying
goodbye, he's been very kind.

He also says he expects
to see us tonight.

Another reason for us to stay.

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

I had to sleep alone...

I think you were the only one.

- It's wonderful.

I've never seen something
so beautiful.

Who would imagine
finding something like this?

- Isn't it awful cold?
- No, it's delicious!

Why don't you come with us?

- Come on in for a swim!
- Is it as deep as you?

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

- Come on, get in!
- You're going to get me all wet!

If our host showed up now...

You know, I'm glad all this happened.

We'll be together for a whole week.

I'd like it to be forever.

If you want, that could be so.

No Imre, we'll have to separate
when we return to Bistritz.

Forever?

Who knows...

It's not really what I want
that counts.

I have to go back home.

I don't know what my parents
have decided.

But let's not talk about that,
it makes me sad.

You're right. We still have
a whole week ahead of us.

And will be unforgettable.
I promise you.

I don't think we should be doing this.
Dr. Marlowe might get upset.

Nonsense, he's so kind
and handsome.

I'm sure being so enigmatic,
he has something to hide.

I don't know what you see
in that man.

I don't see anything,
I simply like him.

Stop this silliness,

it would be better
to go for a walk in the woods.

Don't even dream it.

We should take advantage of being
alone to search the house.

We should give Imre and Marlene
some time alone,

poor things are so in love.

It's just like all the others,
old furniture and spiderwebs.

You must be satisfied now,
let's go please.

No, we might have something
more interesting to find.

I don't know what you mean.

What we've seen
isn't interesting at all.

Why don't we go down to the cellar?

There's nothing but garbage up here.

There'll be rats or even
worse things! I'm very scared!

Always the same. Don't worry,
we'll defend you.

What did I tell you? I'm sure
his secrets are behind this door.

Don't insist,
you won't be able to open it.

If there's any secret in here,
it's well guarded.

- Leave it, let's go back upstairs.
- Yes, we better go.

It's our last opportunity
to be indiscrete.

We've finally found
something interesting.

Go on Elke, take a look,
you're going to like it.

- What is it?
- You'll soon see.

This is magnificent, a library!

Nothing interesting,
just old books on medicine.

Look at this.

"The Memoirs
of Professor Van Helsing"

Looks like someone
has been reading it lately.

- The bookmark's still there.
- Let's see.

Now I'm sure.
Dracula has returned.

We weren't able to destroy him
in Borgo Pass,

and his terrible power
will once again manifest itself

for Dracula is immortal.

- What's wrong?
- I'm sorry, I can't keep reading.

Come woman, you can't believe
that nonsense! I'll continue.

...for Dracula is immortal,
he's the demon of sadism,

the beast that follows man
wherever he may go.

We may destroy his mortal shell,

but the perverse force
that resides within him

will reincarnate.

Once again bringing terror
and anguish to us all...

...to all of humanity.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

- Shall I go on?
- Stop, it's making me nervous.

No, no, continue.

I also fear that his cruel
daughter Radna will also return.

It tortures me to think what his new
incarnation might be,

his new appearance.

How will we recognize him?

And even if we managed
to destroy him once again,

a new Dracula would rise
from his ashes.

And so every generation would
know him in a new form,

a thousand times more perverse
than the previous one.

Wherever man sheds the blood
of his brother,

Dracula will return,
to punish horror with horror.

That coward Elke
is afraid to sleep alone.

Anyway, it's my turn
to sleep on that mattress.

Give her company, she needs it,
she's awfully frightened.

See you in the morning.

Senta...

The doctor still isn't back and...

I don't think he's hunting
at these hours. It's very late.

He'll be back soon.
We shouldn't be worried,

surely nothing has happened to him.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Dracula is immortal,
he's the Prince of Darkness.

We can only destroy
his mortal shell.

Each and every time
he will rise from the ashes.

And each new life will surpass
in horror the one before.

A slight hope lightens my heart.

The prince of evil will not acquire
all of his malefic power,

until he encounters a virgin...

...that falls in love with the
vampire in a natural way.

Giving herself without him
employing his diabolical powers.

Then shall the woman's blood

return his evil grandeur.

And his new vitality will
revive his daughter Radna.

I pray that that woman...
shall never be born.

- Good evening, Miss.
- Doctor.

Something wrong?

I didn't expect to find you,
when did you return?

Only a moment ago.
Did you want something?

I'm thirsty.

I just can't sleep.

How was your hunting day?

Not so good.

If you can't sleep,
we could go for a walk if you like.

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

A walk in the moonlight?

Doesn't that sound too... romantic?

Ok, you convinced me.

It's a shame that such
a beautiful house is so abandoned.

It's truly extraordinary to find
something like this

in the middle of nowhere.

My predecessor must have been
a surprising man,

and passionate about art.

He brought Arabian artisans
from Turkey to decorate the garden.

- Is it true what they say about him?
- What do you mean?

His passion for blood.

Imre told us about
a sinister character...

...Count Dracula.

Some say that Count Dracula and
Dr. Kardos were the same person.

I don't know how what to tell you.

But you mustn't trust
what the farmers say.

This region is rich in legends.

If Dr. Kardos went beyond
the boundaries in his experiments,

it's possible that ignorance
and superstition did the rest.

Then you don't believe in vampires?

I didn't say that.

There are questions for which
science has no answer.

Life and death are just one of them.

But as a scientist,
you must have a formed opinion.

No, the true man of science
rarely affirms anything.

I'd say he doubts everything.

I don't understand,

do you believe the legend
could be true?

Why not? Most myths
have an authentic origin.

The search for immortality
is one of great desires of mankind.

If the legend is true...

...then the price to be paid
is too high.

It's terrible.

Of course, the price is
horror and eternal loneliness.

I don't want to intrude
in your private life,

but I don't understand
what made you move here.

I'm simply a reserved man.
I enjoy the country and tranquility.

Do you plan to reopen
the sanatorium, Dr. Marlowe?

That was my intention at first,
but I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

The truth is that it
doesn't worry me much.

I don't want to offend you, but..

You seem even stranger to me
than your predecessor.

- Will you leave us again tomorrow?
- I'm afraid so.

I have to check the traps daily,
is a job that requires my attention.

- And do you hunt often?
- Regularly. Have you noticed?

The plants around here
are very peculiar.

Some plants are poisonous,
but medicinal too.

I often collect them.

Do you plan of making a
love potion with them?

I've... in truth,
I've never been in love.

Forgive me,
I'm being very indiscrete.

It was only a joke.

What you say isn't so strange.

You live so alone and in such
a remote place.

Perhaps that's the reason...

...your arrival has been
a great joy to me.

Do you mind if we go back?
I feel a bit cold.

As you wish.

- This garden is beautiful.
- Yes.

It seems you've became a fan
of vampire stories.

- It's a very interesting book.
- Really?

You're making me nervous, leave
the books and let's go for a walk.

By the way, where is
Imre and Marlene?

- They're not in their rooms.
- It's very strange.

Not strange, they're probably
out for a walk somewhere.

They're in love and it's logical.

We won't see our host
today as well?

He's busy with his work
and the house.

If I see him tonight,
he'll forget about all that.

- Forget about what?
- The house, woman, the house.

I don't know
what you see in that man.

There is something mysterious
about him that attracts me.

Well not me. Let's go,
maybe we'll find Imre and Marlene.

And maybe your mysterious
Dr. Marlowe too.

Once in a while Elke,
you have some good ideas.

- Shall we?
- Let's go.

I thought we were going to have
a wonderful day,

- but Imre and Marlene ruined it.

- It's like the earth swallowed
them up.

We've looked for them all day
and nothing.

I'm scared something might have
happened to them.

We should return.
After looking for them all day

they might be waiting for us
in the sanatorium.

You're right. Besides,
it's getting very late.

Let's take a shortcut
through the woods.

Senta, what's wrong?

- I can't move, my foot, it hurts!
- Don't move.

It's one of Wendell's traps.

Hold still, I'm trying to open it.

Lift your foot carefully.

- Does it hurt?
- A little, but I think I can walk.

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

I was worried, I just arrived
and when I didn't see you--

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

I'm sorry, it's all my fault.

Please, forgive me.
Does it hurt?

- A bit
- Let's go inside, I'll treat you.

Have Imre and Marlene
returned, Dr. Marlowe?

No, I haven't seen them all day.

I thought they were with you.

They must have gone too far,

and they're probably lost
in the forest.

We'll worry about that later.

Maybe they'll find
their way back.

Let's go inside.

Would you finish cleaning
the wound, Ms. Karen?

I'm going for some disinfectant.

Poor Wendell,
your accident has upset him.

He must be a very sensitive man.

That doesn't make sense.
That's his profession, right?

Will you be quiet?
He might return at any moment.

I'm afraid it's going to sting.

Oh, that does sting.

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

Don't worry.

- Is it serious?
- Not at all. Tomorrow it'll be fine.

Her ankle is swollen
because of the walking.

What she needs is a lot of rest.

It won't be easy sleeping
on that mattress.

I couldn't sleep a wink
the other night.

Don't worry, you can sleep in
my room, I'll stay with Elke.

You're an angel.

- Now you should go to rest.
- But we can't do that.

- We have to wait for Imre and
Marlene.

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

- But-
- They'll be back, you'll see.

Go rest.

Goodnight Wendell,
and thanks for everything.

It's the least I could do.
Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Wendell.

The Prince of Darkness...

...will not acquire all
of his malefic power...

...until he finds a virgin...

...that falls in love with the
vampire in a natural way...

...giving herself to him...

...without employing
his diabolical powers.

Wendell, what's wrong?
I don't understand.

Or perhaps I do.

I've let you down, right?

Is it so important to you
that I've been with other men?

We shouldn't have done this.
Love is more than a game.

At least for me.

- You're in love
- No...

- It's not that.
- You are!

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

Stay.

You see? You're thinking
about her right now.

Wendell...

Wendell, come here!

It was Imre,
that monster was Imre.

He's dead,
there's no reason to fear.

Then those vampire stories
are true.

Someone must have converted Imre
into that monstrous being

and if that's the case
the same thing happened

to Senta, Marlene and Elke.

Please, calm down.

We have to find them,
what happened to them?

We'll find them.

They're not here.

Imre or some other monster
must have killed them.

There must be another vampire.

Perhaps they hid in another room.

We must keep looking.

It's useless Wendell,
I'm sure they're dead.

How could you've lived
so long in a place like this?

I never suspected
something like this.

We have to get out of here
as soon as possible.

Not without knowing
what happened to my friends.

Wendell, it's horrible.

It's him Wendell,
the one I saw in the hallway,

he's responsible for all this!

Dracus!

No, no, Karen, you can't die!

What will happen to me?
I need you.

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

And stop worrying.
None will hurt us again.

My friends, where are they?

I'm sorry Karen, there's no sign of
them, they've vanished.

Maybe it's for the best.

We have to leave.

Please, Wendell,
let's leave this place.

Calm down, don't say that,
you have nothing to fear.

I won't leave your side.

You'll soon be well,
then we'll leave.

I don't know what I'd have done
without you

these last few days by your side.

They've been the most terrible,

and then at the same time
the happiest days of my life.

There's something
I haven't told you.

Karen, I...

You don't have to say anything.

Sometimes actions are more
descriptive than words.

I know you love me.

I've known it since the night
we took that walk together.

And because all the things
you have done for me.

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

It's something more than that.

It's not only gratefulness.

I love you too.

Karen... I'm the happiest
man on earth.

I'm very happy Karen.

You are completely recovered.

We can leave tomorrow.

Yes, dear.

There's just one thing that keeps me
from being completely happy.

I find it impossible to forget
about my friends.

We spent the best years
of our youth in college.

I can't resign myself
of having lost them forever.

I understand Karen,
it's hard to lose our loved ones.

I don't know... It's possible
they're still alive.

Maybe they escaped when they saw
something was happening,

But whatever the case,
they're not in the sanatorium.

You're right, Wendell.

Maybe some day we'll know
what happened to them.

Alright, we'll leave tomorrow.

Karen, you should drink this.

It'll do you good,
a good night sleep.

I don't want to sleep.

Wendell...

Wendell, where are you?

Wendell...

Karen...

Karen...

Karen...

Karen...

Karen...

Karen...

You once belonged to Dracula...

...and you must return again...

...to complete the ceremony
of the rebirth of his bloodline.

And your blood, which until now
has been forbidden...

...shall be his nourishment.

In this manner...

...you shall be united forever
to the Prince of the Darkness.

My daughter Radna
must come back to life...

...in the next full moon.

And Countess Dracula shall return.

We shall once again
be infinitely powerful,

and the world will once again
know the empire of shadows.

Now it is necessary
the ceremony continues...

...that your blood flow
without pain...

...and unites you with Dracula.

There's nothing to fear,
your life will not be in danger.

Because the power of darkness...

...goes beyond death.

But first you will be
Dracula's prisoner...

...until the final ceremony
has been completed.

Lord... lord!

Help me! Help me, lord!

Please sir, help me.

My foot is caught.

I can't move.

No, no, no, no!

Come Helga, hurry up,
it's going to be dark soon.

Leave my daughter alone!

You won't take my daughter!

You must come with me.

Soon we will be united forever.

No one will separate us.

For you, Dracula has been a
different being during this time.

For you he has recovered
the human condition

he has lost centuries ago.

But no one can escape his destiny.

Dracula shall always be
horror and loneliness.

It's you who must exchange
your condition for his,

if you truly love him.

The ceremony must continue.

The triumph of the
Kingdom of the Shadows

demands the suffering
and torture of an innocent.

Later, the blood of the woman
that loves the Prince of Darkness

and of the virgin
that's been tortured...

...shall combine to create
a new physical shell for Radna.

Satan's breath is with us.

When the moon rises again,

and you, Karen,
of your own will...

...receive our stigma,
the ceremony will be complete,

and Countess Dracula
will come back to life.

Help! Help me!

Help!

It isn't the first time a vampire
loves one of the daughters of men.

I love you and can't force
you to share my destiny.

For your love, I'll renounce
resurrecting my daughter Radna.

For the first time the love of
a woman alters Dracula's destiny.

The daughter of darkness
must wait for her awakening.

But her body must be sheltered
from the mortal man.

No, you don't need
to defend yourself.

You have nothing to fear.

Everyone including Radna
has disappeared.

We're alone...

...and once again Dracula
asks you to share his destiny.

You have served Dracula.

Now you will return
to your original form.

Dracula needs you no longer.

For the last time I ask you,

that you renounce
your mortal existence.

And become one with me.

I can't.

For the first time love brings a
finish to the life of Dracula.

Ka... Ka...

Karen...

Come back, my love.

Come back, my love.
