Narrator
edit- Transylvania, land of dark forests, dread mountains and black, unfathomed lakes. Still the home of magic and devilry as the nineteenth century draws to it's close. Count Dracula, monarch of all vampires, is dead, but his disciples live on, to spread the cult and corrupt the world.
Other
edit- Gina: [resurrected as a vampire] Marianne... my darling Marianne... you haven't forgotten your little Gina? Put you arms around me, please, I want to kiss you, Marianne. Please be kind to me. Say that you forgive me for letting him love me.
Dialogue
edit- Marianne Danielle: Then that poor prisoner, in the tower. He is your son?
- Baroness Meinster: He was my son. Now he is only... a beast of the night.
- Marianne Danielle: [gasps] You locked him away? Your own son? Because he is... unholy? Oh, this I cannot understand. How can you be so cruel?
- Baroness Meinster: You are judging me, child. Sleep before you pass sentence.
- Hans, a Villager: Why can't she lie in peace, like all the rest?
- The Cure, Father Stepnik: Because she is not like all the rest!
