Son of Dracula Page #6

Synopsis: Count Alucard finds his way from Budapest to the swamps of the Deep South after meeting Katherine Caldwell, of the moneyed Caldwell clan that runs a plantation called Dark Oaks. She's obsessed with occult matters. Who better to guide her through this supernatural world than Count Alucard, whose name no one bothers to spell backwards? No one, that is, except the wily Dr. Brewster, an old family friend. He'll join Professor Lazlo, a specialist in the occult, in fighting this "Alucard" and the woman he's influenced. Or has Katherine influenced him? Meanwhile, Katherine's fiancé, Frank Stanley, will find his courage and his sanity sorely tested when he accidentally shoots Katherine to death, yet finds that she goes on living.

- Shove a stake through him?

- Yeah.

- We're dealing with a madman.

- Obviously.

Did he say anything about

where he expected to find Alucard?

Yeah, but that really was crazy. Something

about a swamp with a drainage tunnel.

I know where that is.

We'll warn Alucard before Frank gets there.

You'll not warn him

if we have to lock you up in jail.

- What's that?

- There's a lot you don't understand.

If you doubt it,

let's take a look in that morgue.

- What's the morgue got to do with it?

- Never mind.

- It's becoming as plain as day.

- It has been to me for some time.

Then let's go take a look in that morgue.

- The coffin is gone, corpse and all!

- Of course.

- You sound as if you expected it.

- We did.

What's your part in this?

How do you know what's happening?

We'd better get to Alucard.

We'll explain it on the way.

- I thought you weren't gonna warn Alucard.

- We're not.

But we may have to save Frank from

the Count and from his own madness.

The farther we go, the crazier you sound.

Well! It is seldom that my enemies

are so accommodating.

How did you learn where to find me?

I know all about you.

You're not Count Alucard

but Count Dracula, one of the undead.

A loathsome thing,

surviving on the blood of the living.

There'll be no more blood

of the living for you

because I'm going to destroy you.

If you had learned more about me,

you wouldn't have come here

until after sunrise.

Now it is not I

that is going to be destroyed.

Put it out!

Put it out, do you hear me?

Put it out!

Put it out!

Put it out!

You stay here, Jack.

- This is one thing we didn't foresee.

- How could we?

I don't get it. What's happened?

To maintain his existence

among the undead,

Dracula had to be back

in his coffin before sunrise.

Frank prevented it, as you can see.

- You mean, that's all that's left of Alucard?

- Look at the ring on his hand.

It bears the Alucard seal,

just as on his luggage.

Assuming it is Alucard or Dracula

or whoever, where is Frank Stanley?

- He's still wanted for murder.

- Do you think Frank killed Kay deliberately?

Look, Doctor, I'm only the sheriff.

I'm not the judge.

I bring him in

and the court decides if he's guilty.

But I think our testimony

will have bearing on their decision.

Undoubtedly. But the main thing

to do now is to find Frank

and I think I know where he is.

(Fire crackling)
