The Brides of Dracula
Transylvania...
Land of dark forests...
Dreaded mountains and black unfathomed lakes.
Still the home of magic and devilry
as the nineteenth century draws to its close.
Count Dracula, monarch of all vampires...
...is dead.
But his disciples live on...
...to spread the cult and corrupt the world.
Not so fast, please.
Not so fast.
Easy, there. Steady!
What happened?
Hang on there. Hang on, my beauties.
There is nothing to be scared of,
nothing to be afraid of.
Mother of God, it's a corpse!
I thought you were a corpse.
What's the matter?
Why have you stopped?
Just movin' this log out of the way, miss.
It was right in the middle of the road.
There, now.
Now we can get on our way.
Won't take long, miss.
We'll make good time now, I promise you.
Now, my beauties, let's
Get out of here. Come on.
Get a move on. Hup! Hup!
Good evening, miss.
- Welcome to The Running Boar, Frulein.
- Thank you.
Our menu is simple,
but I think you'll find it good.
Hot goulash, a dish of sauerkraut
and our own red wine from the valley.
with the rest of the passengers?
Alone, if you please. You see,
I am the only passenger, so I must.
- What? You're travelling alone?
- Yes, to the Academy Badstein.
It is not very much further on, is it?
I come from Paris
and I am due tomorrow at the latest.
Look, if you are travelling alone,
you better get back to the coach.
My lads will have fresh horses
between the shafts in a trice.
What I mean is
You don't want him to go without you.
But he won't. The coachman knows I'm here.
I know he does, but he will want
to get away as soon as possible.
Ho!
Stop!
- What did I tell you?
- But he had no right to leave without me.
I don't know what right he had or hadn't,
he's gone and that's all there is to it.
What can we do?
Very well. I shall have to stay here tonight.
- For the night? You can't. I have no room.
- But what else I can do?
Johann, go to the farm at once
Get along with you.
Just you sit down here and
let me fetch you something good to eat.
We'll get you away tonight.
- We must.
- But...
Not having a room, you understand.
There.
This will put some warmth into you
for the journey.
- Yes, Johan?
- I have got the cart in the back.
- Come on, we've no time to lose.
- But...
Johan is right. You must go.
Is that the stagecoach coming back?
- Don't open it.
- I must.
Wine.
For your journey
- Thanks, but I've already...
- Another glass.
This Tokaj is the twin brother
to the rest of the Emperors cellar.
Rather different from the
wine of the valley you were drinking.
- What a very wild night.
- Yes, isn't it?
I hope you have not far to go.
I am on my way to
the Ladies Academy at Badstein.
The Lang School? I know it well.
But I thought I passed the stagecoach
as I came down here.
Left me here, I'm afraid.
Forgive me but...
...I was wondering if, by any chance,
They can't put me up here
and I don't know what to do.
If you'll excuse me,
my husband was mistaken.
We have a room if you want.
So you're going to the Langs of Badstein?
Yes.
I've got my first appointment there
as a student teacher.
I start tomorrow and I did not want to
give a bad impression by arriving late.
You needn't do that.
I can't take you over tonight...
...but I shall see that
you get there early in the morning.
Meantime, you cannot stay
in a poor place like this.
I'm the Baroness Meinster.
My castle is in the hills,
just above the village.
Please give me the pleasure
- I shall be more than grateful.
- Let us waste no more time, then.
Come.
- You are very kind, Madame.
- I'm nothing of the sort.
I am a very lonely old woman
who often longs...
...for the company of someone with
a little breeding.
Let me introduce myself, Madame.
My name is Marianne Danielle.
Thank you, Mademoiselle Danielle.
Greta, this young lady
See that she is comfortable.
We will have dinner in 10 minutes.
Can you be ready by then?
Yes, Madame.
Madame la Baronne is very kind,
but still I'm intruding most terribly.
I had no idea she was expecting a guest.
Nobody is expected.
The Baroness always has a second place laid
And I have come, haven't I?
Yes.
Ten minutes.
Please do not keep Madame waiting.
You'll see more by daylight.
Madame is waiting.
Greta, you said
she wasn't expecting anyone.
A guest, I mean.
But I saw a man on the balcony below.
He didn't look like a servant.
I am the only servant
left at castle Meinster.
I felt sure I saw a young man.
- Madame is waiting. Are you about ready?
- Almost.
Aren't you having any soup?
I have very little appetite.
Greta tells me that you saw someone
in the balcony below your room.
I thought I did.
I thought I saw a man, a young man.
- But I must have been wrong.
- You were not wrong. You saw my son.
- But I thought...
- You thought what I wanted you to think.
That I was an old woman living here alone.
Now you know that I'm not alone.
I have a son.
- Please, I don't wi...
- My son is ill.
I'm so very sorry.
peace of mind in these last years.
You may not believe it, but
we've had gay times here.
