Doctor Dracula Page #2

---

and to infuse life into that

artificially-created man,

the likes of which

civilization will never forget.

You cannot

escape your destiny,

just as I cannot

escape mine.

What you say is

very true.

Very true.

If only I had away to get

the power I should have,

I'd show those

fools out there

who think of me only

as a carnival freak an d--

and get your revenge on drs.

Beaumont, stedmen and marky

who ruined your career

and caused the accidental fire

which crippled

you as you are now.

Yes yes...

Yes, it's

all clear now.

They were the ones.

But what does

this mean to you?

I have in my

possession the remains

of the original

Frankenstein monster,

put to rest

in oakmoor cemetery

by one of a group

of scientists

whose experiments with

the monster were cut short

byan epidemic

which plagued this area

many many years ago.

The only remaining scientist

had secretly buried the monster

hoping to resume his experiments

at a later date.

He also was the man

who discredited you

for fear that you had knowledge

of his work with the monster--

Dr. beaumont.

Beaumont.

When groton returns,

he will be--

relax, doctor.

I will give

you orders

and you will

follow them.

You don't frighten me.

I live beyond fear.

I think you will find

that working

with me will be

a more intelligent

decision, doctor.

We cannot wait.

I will help you now.

We must prepare

your laboratory for him.

The monster.

Yes.

And all those

who would meddle

in the destinies

of Frankenstein and Dracula

will see an

infernal blood bath

the likes of which has

not swept the earth before.

Laura, you're gonna

have to learn to relax.

Iam relaxed. I wish you

wouldn't keep saying that.

Oh, I love to have you

in my arms like this.

I like to think of you

as belonging to me.

Oh, come on, will you?

The second time

you've done that tonight.

I hear it again--

likea huge dog

prowling the beach.

Oh, he's probably

looking for his mate.

And I've found mine.

Bob, I don't want

to stay here any longer.

All right.

All right.

The first thing you said

when I picked you up tonight is

you were tired of being

in a crowd, right?

You wanted to go

someplace quiet and alone.

So I blowa dollar on gas,

we come all the way out here.

You know what's the matter

with you, don't you?

It's that damned

imagination of yours.

H h? A m a n:
J"/h '

- I hear it coming too.

- Oh, don't listen to it.

Let's get out of here.

Have you seen this girl?

- What?

- Have you seen this girl?

She's a friend of mine.

No, not that I remember.

A a "w aw a n:
A a:

A m:
M m @\\~ii;Li1~liw

no.

Just bring me

some coffee.

Rico-- talk to you

a minute?

Rico:

What's going on?

That broad over there,

she's asking questions about you.

- Which one?

- Over at the table.

Oh, yeah.

What does she want?

She's looking

for some broad.

Here--

give her these.

Dr. Frankenstein,

your scientific

skill has not failed us.

We will make

the monster walk.

He was born with the

electrical fury of the heavens

when the zornov comet

passed over the earth.

the comet returns,

completing the

monster's first life cycle.

Soon he will be

born again.

We must work quickly.

The zornov comet

has returned.

Dr. beaumont,

tonight you shall

meet an old friend.

Who are you?

Keep driving.

I will tell you where.

- Who are you?

- Iam known

as the count of darkness,

the lord of the

manor of corpathia.

Turn here.

Get out of the car,

Dr. beaumont.

An old friend of yours,

eh, doctor?

You'll see that

Frankenstein and I

have made

some improvements.

You feeling better?

Somebody thought you

were a cop, slipped you a drug.

You were

in another world.

Who are you?

- Where am I?

- My name is Mike Howard.

This is my pad.

Who are you?

I'm Judith.

No last name?

- Did you want one?

- No, not necessarily.

Let me see

if I can guess.

Oh, I see the same

turn in the nose,

the full upper lip.

- You know joanie.

- I knew joanie.

I don't know

where she is now.

You know, no one here

will talk about anyone.

It's a kind

of self-preservation.

Between urban renewal and the

country welfare department,

we get bombarded

with questions in relays.

Your ears get

curled on the inside.

What do you mean

you knew joanie?

What I mean is in this part of town,

everyone knows everyone

- in one way or another.

- But how did I get here?

Come on,

i won't hurt you.

They brought you here.

That's Samantha.

She goes with that

goofy-looking kid over there.

He's strange. That's his name--

also classification.

- You sound rather cynical.

- Nota bit.

It's just

an observation.

That's my bag. I make

observations for later replay,

like the football game on TV.

Man:

Hey, Mike!

They found a guy chopped up

down at rocky point!

It was all in bloody

bits and pieces!

- Vvhat are you talking about?

- They never found his girlfriend though.

Guy can't make out

in peace anymore.

Man, it's a real bummer.

It's not usually this gory

on the premises.

- Maybe we'd better go inside.

- No, wait.

Justa little bit

more fresh air.

Okay, come on.

Like I told you,

she didn't say much.

We saw her on the beach

about six months ago.

That's just about

the time she left home.

This section of the beach draws

a lot of weary, conscious people.

They can take those deep breaths

they've been dreaming about.

Joanie was up

by the amusement park.

That was the big

attraction.

The big attraction?

She used to have

fantasies about--

about being a freak.

A freak?

Oh, I can't believe that.

Two heads,

an eye missing,

an elongated spine" anything that

vvas grotesque, it turned her on.

Well, that-- that's not

the whole story.

The idea was

to turn into

something beautiful

by using some

magical formula.

That's why

she used to

hang around

that creature emporium.

What in the world

is a creature emporium?

A leftover from the

sidewalk carnival days,

run bya Dr. duryea.

At least,

that's the name he uses.

You mean this place

is a house of freaks?

Oh, everything's phony.

It's strictly for the tourists.

On the other hand,

i suppose

it all depends on what

you're really looking for.

Joanie was looking

for her own special fantasy.

This just doesn't

sound like joanie.

So we greet the world

of Dr. duryea.

It's nothing

but a cheap sideshow.

I told you it's strictly

for the tourists.

Mike, I don't want

to go in there.

There's nothing I can find out

about joanie in a place like that.

Rule number one about

observation collecting:

Never take a situation

at face value.

What you see

is not what really is.

Better get out his pipe

and slippers, Sam.

- He's showing his age again.

- You two better be careful.

- The doctor may be casting today.

- Don't you let him touch me.

- What about me?

- You know how to go invisible.

Only from

the waist down.

Strange:
Wonder where that little

scary guy is that takes the tickets.

Samantha:

Maybe he's out to lunch.
