Movie Quote(s):
- Harry [townsman bit]: How are ya, doctor? Prof. Harry Brewster: Hi, Harry. Frank Stanley: Hey, Charlie! Charlie, station agent: Hello Dr. Brewster, Mr. Stanley. Frank Stanley: How are ya. Say, uh, those all the passengers you have? Charlie, station agent: Just the four. Prof. Harry Brewster: You didn't put anyone off at the wrong station, did you? We're here to meet a friend of the Caldwells, a Count Alucard. Charlie, station agent: There was no Count on this train. All customers. Say - there was a lot of stuff in the baggage car that might belong to your Count. Prof. Harry Brewster: Thanks, we'll take a look at it. Train Conductor Voice: [offscreen] All aboard. Frank Stanley: [looking at a pushcart piled with trunks and cases] Well, does this look as though he's come to stay for just a couple of weeks? Prof. Harry Brewster: No, it doesn't. I wonder what's become of him? Frank Stanley: Probably coming by car. Don't worry, he'll show up. Prof. Harry Brewster: [The Doctor moves close to the luggage, studies the name on a crest on a box which has been stacked sideways] D - R - A - C ... Frank Stanley: What are you mumbling about? Prof. Harry Brewster: Nothing, nothing. Just a silly idea hit me. Well, if there's no Alucard, there's no need of our staying around here. I've got to get back to the office. [He leaves scene as Frank now looks at the sideways crest. Fade to black]

[last lines] Sheriff Dawes: You mean, that's all that's left of Count Alucard? Prof. Laszlo: Look at the ring on his hand. It bears the Alucard seal, just as on his luggage. Sheriff Dawes: Well assuming it is Alucard, or Dracula, or whoever he calls himself - where is Frank Stanley? He's still wanted for murder. Prof. Harry Brewster: You still think that Frank killed Kay deliberately? Sheriff Dawes: Look, Doctor, I'm only the Sheriff. I'm not the Judge. It's my job to bring him in, and the court's to decide his guilt. Prof. Laszlo: Of course. But I think our testimony will have some bearing on their decision. Prof. Harry Brewster: Undoubtedly. But the main thing to do now is to find Frank - and I think I know where he is. [Dissolve to final scene, which is played entirely without dialogue]
