Neumann calls in the eminent Professor Zelin who thinks the story of vampires is true.

Good night.

- Good night, Jan.

- Good night, sir.

Quick. Get through one of those rooms

and watch the window on the terrace.

Yes.

Well?

- He thinks he's drugged your wine.

- I know. I saw him. Jan, come here.

Tell me, did Sir Karell drink the wine

before he dismissed you?

No. No, sir.

- You're positive?

- Quite.

Drink it, collapse,

and then we'll see what happens.

All right.

- Put these pipes in my room, Jan.

- Yes, sir.

I don't think I'll be wanting

anything more tonight.

- Very good, sir. Good night, sir.

- Good night.

Stop! Don't move, Baron!

Look at me. Look me in the eye, Baron.

That's it.

Everything is getting cloudy.

Cloudy.

You understand?

You are returning,

returning to the present. You understand?

You are returning to the present.

Baron.

Baron Otto,

you're under arrest for the murder

of Sir Karell Borotyn.

You were very clever in concealing

the motive of your crime.

We never dreamt it was Miss Borotyn

you were after.

Franz, take him out to the car.

I don't get the idea

of his heating the glass.

Only to cup him with,

to cup him of his blood.

That hot glass over the wound

creates a powerful suction.

Forgive me, Fedor,

but they wouldn't let me tell you.

They were afraid that you wouldn't let me

go through with it.

This vampire business,

it has given me a great idea for a new act.

Luna, in the new act I will be the vampire.

Did you watch me? I gave all of me.

I was greater than any real vampire.

Sure, sure, but get off your makeup.

Yes, and help me

with some of this packing.

Guy Endore

Samuel Guy Endore (July 4, 1901 – February 12, 1970), born Samuel Goldstein and also known as Harry Relis, was an American novelist and screenwriter. During his career he produced a wide array of novels, screenplays, and pamphlets, both published and unpublished. A cult favorite of fans of horror, he is best known for his novel The Werewolf of Paris, which occupies a significant position in werewolf literature, much in the same way that Dracula does for vampire literature. Endore is also known for his left-wing novel of the Haitian Revolution, Babouk: The Story of A Slave. He was nominated for a screenwriting Oscar for The Story of G.I. Joe (1945), and his novel Methinks the Lady . . . (1946) was the basis for Ben Hecht's screenplay for Whirlpool (1949). more…
