Dear Dracula Page #3

Look into my eyes.

Uh...

You're under my spell.

I am under your spell.

We are friends of Sam's,

from school.

(ZOMBIE-LIKE) In that case,

won't you please come in?

Mirroe, we're in.

(SQUAWKS)

I am Count Dracula!

Whoa!

The one and only Count Dracula

is in my living room!

On Halloween!

Oh, how cool is that?

Yes. How cool is that?

I know you wanted a toy doll,

but I brought

something better -

the real Dracula.

(DOOR OPENS AND SLAMS)

You look like you're about to

eat me.

I thought I was

the vampire here.

Close your mouth.

You're making me nervous.

(SQUAWKS)

(CLEARS THROAT) Master.

Ah. Sam, this is Mirroe.

Mirroe, this is the little boy

who wrote the letter.

Oh! Hey, Mirroe. Welcome.

Thank you, Master Sam.

A pleasure to meet you.

So, you're like the Count's

assistant or something?

Technically, I'm...

...a certified henchman.

Majored in vampire history

and ghoulage.

I don't like to toot

my own horn,

but I'm also

an accomplished gravedigger.

(GRUNTS)

DRACULA:

Mirroe, you're being modest.

He's the best.

Thank you, Master.

(ZOMBIE-LIKE)

Sam, would your friends like to watch

the monster movie marathon with us?

Guys?

Why, that sounds delightful,

Grandma.

And you're all done

throwing things, yes?

Of course, dear.

(WEBBER SQUEAKS)

Oh, Webber, I'd like you to meet

Mirroe and Count Dracula.

He's visiting me all the way

from Transylvania.

(WEBBER CHITTERS)

Soda?

They're drinks.

- (SODA CAN CREAKS)

- Ahh!

I'm so sorry.

I'll clean it up.

- (DRINK FIZZES)

- That's one way.

(STOMACH GURGLES)

(BURPS)

What was that?

Did that come from me?

(LAUGHS) That was a burp.

A monster burp.

Burps, movie marathons.

There is much to learn.

Continue your teachings,

young Sam.

(BURPS)

OK, the first movie is about

a new breed of vampires.

It's called 'Demons at Dusk'.

(GENTLE MUSIC

ON MOVIE SOUNDTRACK)

WOMAN ON TV:
Oh, Edmund,

you will be mine some day.

(SWITCHES OFF TV)

So what did you think, Count?

That was rubbish!

Absolute hogwash.

Vampires aren't pretty boys

that sparkle in the sun.

Real vampires burn

and crumble into dust

when exposed to daylight.

- Ha!

- OK.

But this is what scares kids

today.

Ah, that was awful.

I'm embarrassed to be a vampire

after seeing that.

What's next?

Something scary, I hope.

Oh, this one's scary, alright.

It's 'Blade Saw VII'.

Who is the monster?

Anyone I know?

Uh, he's not exactly

a real monster

like you or Frankenstein.

He's more of a deranged killer

who forces people to do

horrible things as punishment.

(SCOFFS)

Doesn't sound so scary.

(GHOULISH GROWLING)

(POWER SAW WHIRRS)

(WEBBER SQUEAKS)

MAN ON TV:
There is only

one way out of here.
