A vampire

The vampires in the film are presented, not just by anyone, but by count Dracula. He has many characteristics of the classical ideas about vampires drinking human blood, sleeps in a coffin, turns into a mist, has hypnotic powers, is not reflected in the mirrors. However, there are differences: the Dracula moves freely in the daytime, and in the movie never show his teeth or traces of them on the victim's body. He is afraid of crosses, but only if notice of it (in this case, the cross did not protect the victim without disturbing the vampire to enter her mind and order to remove the cross).

Dracula is able to turn victims into their servants, a werewolf who also sleep in a coffin and materialists from the fog. If the victim vampire is unclear, as well as not clear, and whether to turn into animals Dracula himself.

To kill a vampire and his victim-a werewolf can, pierced them with a wooden stake.
