Original subtitles

Now will you give me my chalk?

Try that again and I'll put you in solitary confinement.

You would -be Frankenstein.

Don't profane his name with your dirty lips.

He was a genius in whose footsteps I will follow when I get out of here.

When you get out.

If I have anything to say about it, you'll never get out.

But I will.

Now, friend Daniel, shall we go on with our work?

Now, this brain, taken from the man and transplanted into the skull of the dog,

would give him the mind of a human being.

Now, Frankenstein would have severed the spinal cord.

Here. And I'm not certain that he was right.

Could Frankenstein have made me like other men?

He gave life to a body that he made from parts of other bodies that had died.

Yes, Daniel.

He could have made you like other men.

Dr. Niemann, did you know Frankenstein?

No. But my brother who assisted him learned his secrets.

And before he died, he passed them on to me.

Then you could give me a new body If I had Frankenstein's records to guide

me I could give you a perfect body

Yeah.

ransomed by mountain bandits for the better part of three months.

And that's your servant?

Do you doubt me?

It's a doubting world, kind sir.

As I, Professor Bruno Lampini, have reason to know.

I have a collection of the world's most astounding horrors. When I exhibit them,

what do I get?

Doubts, jeers, cries of fate, fake.

Do you expect your patrons to believe that the skeleton you show them is

that of Count Dracula?

I, Lampini, took it.

Pardon me, borrowed it. From the cellar of Dracula's castle in the Carpathian

Mountains.

With my own two hands, I spread upon the floor of its coffin a layer of soil

taken from its birthplace.

So that by proxy, shall we say, the skeleton of his earthbound spirit might

at peace within his grave.

Until the withdrawal of the wooden stake from its heart set Dracula free again.

to satisfy his unholy appetite for blood.

At night, the giant bat would seek its victims.

But before sunrise, it returned to the safety of his coffin.

Aye, a single ray of sunlight falling upon a vampire would make him helpless.

Do you ever exhibit your show in Visaria?

Visaria?

No, that's a town that doesn't care for horrors. They had one of their own.

when a doctor Neiman tried to give a dog the mind of a human being.

They threw him in prison because he, like Frankenstein, used bodies of the

dead to carry on his work.

Is old Hussman still alive?

He is now the mayor of Regalbad.

Are you going there by any chance?

Later on in the season. It's a small place too far away to make a special

profitable.

Nevertheless, that is where you are going.

Then Daniel and I will go alone.

Now

the

driver.

You seem worried, friend Daniel.

If they search the ruins of the prison, our bodies will not be found.

We should hide.

So we shall, but in the open.

All the protection of a traveling show.

I as Lampini, you as my assistant.

Free to move on towards those for whom I have unloving memory.

The ones who sent you to prison?

And old Hussman, the burgomaster.

Yes, friend Daniel.

We will travel to the village of Riegelberg.

And pay our respects to the burgomaster.

Your move, Inspector.

That's a neat trap you've got me into.

Checkmate. Put it in the book, Inspector.

Grandfather! Yes? Here, Carl.

As a man, I admire you. As Bergamaster, I respect you. But as a chess player,

Herr Hussmann, I hate you.

Did you lose again, Inspector?

It serves you right. I told you not to play with him. He always wins.

Don't you, you old darling?

I hope we're not breaking up your game, but Carl and I have decided... She means

she has decided... To take in the midnight show of the horror exhibit down

the crossroads.

Spooks, ghouls, vampires.

Get his hat and coat, Carl.

You're going with this. To stare at a lot of idiotic humbucks?

Not I, my dear. I put my weary bones where they belong, in bed.

Your hat and coat. I'm not going.

You better give in, Grandad. These American girls can talk you into

That's all they do, talk.

What?

What did you say? Now, now, darling, remember your blood pressure.

That's the man I married. Talk, talk, talk, talk. I can never get a word in

edgewise. Here, put this on.

No. And no arguments.

Come along, Inspector.

Oh, no.

You're coming with us, too. Oh, but I... And I don't want any arguments from

you, either. Come along. Come on.

Persuasive little minx, isn't she?

I'm all over goose pimples.

And properly so, you little goose.

Now, don't be grouchy. This is fun.

Master. Police Inspector.

Is all right, Daniel?

We have our permit.

Now, there is something I could really use.

I wonder where I could get one.

What for?

Just a thing to keep a wife under control.

This way, ladies and gentlemen, step this way to gaze upon an exhibit

unparalleled in the realms of showmanship.

No doubt there are some among you.

who will doubt the truth of what I'm about to say, or doubt the reality of

you're about to see.

But believe me, my friends, this is no fake.

Before your very eyes is all that remains of a vampire, one of the world's

undead.

Dare I but remove this stake from where his heart once beat, and he would rise

from the grave within which he lies.

and turn into a bat, a vampire bat, would feed hideously upon the living

veins pulsate with warm and vibrant blood.

Ladies and gentlemen, the actual skeleton of Count Dracula, the vampire.

Brave, sheer brave. I don't know, Herr Hussmann. There are many people

hereabouts who still believe in the old legend.

Aye, sir, it is true.

I'm surprised at you people.

You seem to doubt what I say, Herr Burgomaster.

Bats, vampires, a state driven through a skeleton's heart.

Gibberish, every word of it.

Furthermore, my friends, one single ray of sunlight falling upon a vampire will

destroy him.

Say, who are you?

My name is Lampini.

You're not the Lampini I ran out of this area three years ago.

That was my brother.

Recently deceased.

You remind me of someone. Someone I can't quite recall.

Perhaps you will remember later, Herr Burkermaster. Perhaps.

Drop the stick from your hand.

Drop it.

But if you move, I'll send your soul back to the limbo of eternal waiting.

Do as I ask, and I will serve you.

I will protect the earth upon which you lie so that before sunrise, your coffin

will always be ready for you.

For that, I will do whatever you wish.

I hope I haven't spoiled your evening for you, Inspector.

As a matter of fact, I found it most interesting.

But I say good night here.

Good night, Carl. Good night, Inspector. Good night.

See you in the morning, sir. Good night, Holmes. Don't get lost in the fog.

Well,

you certainly picked a night for it, my pet.

It's like being wrapped in the arms of a gigantic ghost.

Ghosts, vampires.

Can't you talk about anything else?

Listen.

toward the end, may I offer you the accommodation of my coach?

You don't have to say that twice.

Oh, pardon me. I'm Carl Hussman. And this is Mrs. Hussman. We are here on our

honeymoon. My congratulations.

And this is my grandfather.

Hussman.

Permit me to introduce myself.

I'm Baron Lattos from Transylvania.

Oh, glad to know you, Baron.

May I suggest that you join me for a bottle of wine at the inn?

In the nature of, shall we say, a celebration, Mrs. Hussman?

It's a wonderful idea, Grandad. Oh, yes, a glass of wine will warm my blood.

But you will accept our hospitality, Baron.

The wine of the country from my cellar.

Thank you, Herr Hussman. A driver?

Stop at the Hussman home.

Oh, driver, go around to the kitchen.

Ask the cook to make you some coffee. Thank you, Herr Bergmann.

I drink to love.

A union to last throughout eternity.

A love free from all material needs.

I'll drink to that lack of material needs myself, Baron.

But not till I lay the wine cellar, I won't.

Excuse me, darling.

Be right back, Baron.

My ring?

When I look at it, I see glimpses of a strange world.

A world of people who are dead and yet alive.

It is the place from which I've just returned.

It frightens me.

Where?

It will drive away your fears.

It will become smaller.

It is

the

bond that links us together.

I see your world more clearly now.

I'm no longer afraid.

Before the dawn.

Now, as I was saying...

I haven't the remotest idea what I was saying.

It's been a sweet... I must apologize, Baron.

It must have been the wine.

Quite all right, Herr Rusman. Here we are.

It's very late. I hadn't realized we'd talked so long. I must be leaving.

Well, it's been a slow party, Baron. We'll save this for next time.

Good night, Baron.

Thank you for your hospitality, Herr Hussmann. Not at all. Good night. Good

night.

Rita,

aren't you going to bid me good night?

Good night, Grandfather.

Good night, my dear.

Be near them.

Good night,

ma 'am. Good night, sir.

Niemann.

Done. Neiman.

Well, it turned out to be fun after all, didn't it, darling?

It's a wonderful night.

The darkness beckons to me.

Another world.

The world I see is far away.

Yet very near.

A strange and beautiful world.

In which one may be dead.

Rita, what is it?

What's happened to you?

I'm going away.

Dracula Crest.

Like the one on the coffin.

Where did you get it?

From Baron Lattos.

Baron Lattos.

You've got to get it off.

I want to go there, Carl.

No, Father.

Connect me with Inspector Arndt. Hurry.

Inspector, this is Carl Hussman.

My grandfather has been killed.

Herr Hussman?

Wounds on the neck.

What kind of wounds?

Two small punctures like teeth marks.

I'll be right over.

In that carriage.

Master, the police, they're after us.

I think they're after Dracula.

There's one way to stop them.

Yes.

Oh, Herr Inspector, you miss a longer dance.

She's pretty, too.

I will have her dance again, especially for you.

Not in the village of Frankenstein, you won't.

We've had nothing but stealing since you came here.

The Burgomeister says you're to move on. Oh, but Herr Inspector... No, I'm going

to break camp and get out.

All right, the show's over. Go back to your homes.

Oh, Daniel.

Now drive on. We'll camp beyond those trees.

What have you got here?

A chamber of horrors. The burgomaster won't grant your permit. So pack up and

on your way. But why?

There's nothing in my exhibit to offend anyone.

We've had enough horrors around here.

You see those ruins?

Our village has been quiet and peaceful since the dam broke and swept the

wolfman and the Frankenstein monster to their destruction several years ago.

No one ever mentions that place.

Nor does anyone ever go near it.

That's why you can't exhibit here.

We want nothing to remind us of something that we've been trying to

But we've come a long way and the horses are tired. It's very late.

Could we at least rest here until tomorrow? No, you've got to move on.

All right, Daniel.

We'll move on.

Hand over the money the villagers give you.

Only your share.

All of it.

When I joined you, it was agreed that I'd keep half. Give me the money.

If you try to rob me, I'll tell the police that it's you who's been doing

stealing around here.

I'll trash you within an inch of your life. Let me go, you smelly pig!

I'll get him out of here before he kills it.

Master, she's hurt.

May I take her with us?

No, we only have tonight to search for the Frankenstein record.

Please, Master, she's hurt. All right, if it'll keep you in your right senses.

Are you awake?

You've nothing to be afraid of.

Now I remember.

Who are you?

I'm Daniel.

I'm with Professor Lampini's show.

Here, I... I brought you some tea. It'll make you feel better.

It was nice of you.

Are you the one that helped me?

Made me mad when he whipped you.

But he can't hurt you anymore.

They've gone.

Leaving me a hundred miles from nowhere.

No, but we're going to Vissaria. You can travel with us.

You can sleep here.

And talk to me when I drive.

I get so lonesome when I have no one to talk to.

You don't know me very well.

I might talk you to death.

Your name's Alanka, isn't it?

You know all about me, don't you, Daniel?

I watched you dance.

Did you?

Did you like me?

You're pretty.

You're afraid of me, aren't you?

Afraid of you?

If you weren't.

Come up here where I could see you a bit.

Come with me. I found a way into the ruins.

Master, if we find the Frankenstein records, will you make me like other

Please, your little gypsy girl, friend Daniel, I'll make you an Adonis.

Here's a book, Master.

Does it...

Daniel, are you hurt?

No, Master.

Evidently, the force of the flood had burst through that wall and washed

everything into the cave beyond.

You'd better look for the records in there.

A glacial ice cavern.

The wolfman.

Master.

Over there.

Undying monster.

The triumphant climax of Frankenstein's genius.

And the wolfman.

They may know where the records are, friend Danny.

We'll set them free, and they will help.

Who are you?

Why have you freed me from the ice that imprisoned the beast that lived within

me? Why?

Perhaps to help you, Mr. Towle.

The earthly power can help those that are marked by the sign of the pentagram.

You came here to ask Frankenstein for help, didn't you? Yes, but I was too

He was dead.

I wanted to die too.

Nevertheless, when Dr.

Mannering trailed you here from England, you asked him for help.

I did, but he became more interested in the monster than he was in me.

When the villagers learned that he had brought the monster back to life, they

blew up the dam.

Whose frozen waters have held you here all these years?

And now you've brought me back to a life of misery.

With each full moon, I turn into a werewolf.

I kill.

I want to die.

Only death can bring me relief.

You don't have to die, my boy. You're wrong.

I can help you.

How?

How can you help me?

I tool my doctor.

A scientist like Frankenstein.

Do you know where he kept his records?

I think so.

Show me those records and I'll build a new brain for you. I'll lift this curse

from you forever.

He wanted life and strength.

I wanted only death.

Here we are.

The answer to both your problems lies here.

But in my laboratory in Viseria, I have the equipment to restore his strength.

Then I must wait until we reach Viseria. You must be patient.

The horse is a harness, Master.

Can you drive?

Why, yeah.

Then take the road to Viseria.

Master, is he going to drive all the time?

Yes, I need you here.

Mr. Ply, hot compresses.

The ice is seriously damaged.

No, Daniel's back with the doctor.

Who are you?

Just the driver.

Are you going to Visalia with us?

Yes.

I promised Daniel I'd keep him company while he drove.

I'll talk to you if you want me to.

Morning, Delanca. What's yours?

Lawrence.

Lawrence?

Did they call you Larry?

I used to.

We've been together three days and you haven't smiled once.

I think I'd like you better if you smiled. Now don't start barking at me.

There's a nice big smile for you.

Now give me one.

You see how easy it is?

Then why are you always so sad?

I wish you'd tell me.

Why?

Because I like you.

Maybe I can help.

No one can help me.

Daniel!

Hurry up with that water. You're going to stand there all day?

Get started. We've lost too much time already.

Why can't I drive part of the time?

What Talbot bothers me with is everlasting impatience.

I must get the monster to Viseria before further changes make restoration more

difficult.

The desiccation of the tissues has gone further than I thought.

Not as bad as I feared.

Our equipment is still usable.

We must go to work and get it in shape as quickly as possible.

Turn on the steam.

Steam will soften the tissues of the high -frequency color that will go

them. How long will it take?

A day, perhaps longer.

Why must you do that now?

You have everything you need here.

Operate on me.

I've yet to find a way of combining Frankenstein's technique with my own.

The moon will be full tonight.

You know what that means?

I can't stand to go through that torture again. I tell you, I can't. An

operation now would be a failure.

It would leave you exactly as you are. You must wait.

Wait?

All right, Daniel.

Master, Talbot is big and strong.

Will you give me... Forget Talbot. We have work to do.

But, Master, you promised me... All in due time, Daniel.

Tonight we call on my old friend, Pullman and Trout.

Yes, son?

Yes? What do you want?

Remember me?

I'm Dr. Neiman.

Dr. Neiman? Yes, Frederick.

Come with me.

Pardon me, Herr Ullman.

Do you know Herr Strauss?

The garrulous gentleman who testified that he saw me take a body from its

We don't forget Herr Strauss, do we?

Oh, I'm sorry.

That more comfortable?

Niemann, I've saved 15 ,000 marks since you testified for the state to save your

miserable hide. Let me go, Niemann. Let me go and the money is yours. Every bit

of it.

Fifteen thousand marks.

A thousand for every year that I spent in a stinking, slimy dungeon.

You bargain poorly, Haroldman.

Don't kill me. Don't kill me. Don't kill my trusted old assistant.

Why, no.

I'm going to repay you for betraying me.

I'm going to give that brain of yours a new home.

In the skull of the Frankenstein monster.

As for you, Strauss, I'm going to give you the brain of the wolfman so that all

your waking hours will be spent in untold agony, awaiting the full of the

which will change you into a werewolf.

No more, no less.

If there's any change, call me.

Master? Yes?

Now that I've helped you with Strauss and Ullman, will you give Talbot's body

me? What?

He's big, he's strong.

Talbot's body is the perfect home for the monster's brain, which I will add to

and subtract from in my experiments.

Master, you made me a problem. No.

You think I'd wreck the work of a lifetime because you're in love with a

girl?

I've killed four men for you. Do as I say or I'll never help you.

like Larry?

He used to smile at me sometimes before he joined us.

Why, Daniel, I believe you're jealous.

You love him, don't you?

He's in some kind of trouble, I think.

I want to help him. You do love him.

But he doesn't know it.

It wouldn't make any difference to him if he did.

Why not?

Why wouldn't it make any difference to him?

Do you see that?

It's a star. A five -pointed star.

The pentagram.

The pentagram.

The sign of the beast.

Even a man who's pure in heart and says his prayers by night.

I become a werewolf when the wolfbane blows and the moon is full and bright.

He's a werewolf.

Oh, no.

No, not him.

I know I'm trying to protect you.

Stay away from him.

When the moon is full again, he'll turn.

And he'll kill.

He'll kill.

I don't believe you.

You're making it all up.

Because you're jealous.

I hate you.

You're mean.

because I'm not...

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. What about our beers, Hoffman? At once, Herr

Burgermeister. I must go now, Mrs. Strauss. Have a good day.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. They ask me where the husbands are all the time. What are you

muttering about, Hoffman? Well, Strauss hasn't been home since yesterday. His

wife's very worried about him. Sleeping off a drunk, probably. I don't think so.

Why not?

Woolman hasn't been home since last night either.

Neither has Braun, the stockkeeper.

That's odd. When one man doesn't come home, you think nothing of it. When

men disappear overnight, particularly in a small town like Versailles, you begin

to wonder.

Inspector, I found Herr Braun.

Out in the woods.

He's dead.

What do you make of it, Doctor?

The jugular vein is severed.

Not cut, but torn apart as though by powerful teeth.

A werewolf.

Heaven help us. I must warn my wife and children.

Frauds. Fire.

Come back here. I forbid that you spread such talk.

What do you want to do?

Drive folks from this area and ruin our village forever?

I'm ashamed of you.

All of you, believing in such idiotic superstitions. Then how do you explain

that? And how about Strauss?

And Ullman? What happened to them?

There's a werewolf our people should know about. I think so too, Herr

Bergermeister. Our children aren't safe. There's a werewolf.

Let's find him. All right, search for the werewolf. All right, all right.

Organize your searching parties.

The inspector will head one group, Schwartz another, and Meyer a third.

Find your werewolf.

Even a man who is pure at heart and says his prayers by night.

Then you know.

Daniel told me.

Oh, Larry.

Last night I killed a man.

You didn't know what you were doing.

But I did.

I wanted to kill.

And I knew that I wanted to.

Tonight the moon will rise again.

And I'll become that beast.

I'll kill again.

Can't Dr. Neiman do anything for you?

Ask him, Larry, ask him. Oh, he says that he can, but he keeps putting me

I don't trust him.

I can't go on waiting and killing and waiting.

I want forgetfulness, peace.

I want to help you.

I'll do anything.

When that spell comes over me.

I'd kill anyone.

I won't let you. I won't let you out of my sight.

I might even kill you.

I couldn't help myself.

I'm not afraid.

It's no use, Elanca.

Only death.

can bring us peace of mind.

And a werewolf doesn't just die.

He must be killed.

Killed by a silver bullet.

Fired by the hand of one who loves him enough to

understand.

He must be killed.

By a silver bullet.

Fired by the hand of someone who loves you enough to understand.

Dive on.

Now the generator.

Check the megavoltage.

25 ,000.

Increase to 50.

The electronic bombardment... Listen to me, Neymar.

You promised that if I found the Frankenstein records, you'd cure me of

curse. I found them, gave them to you. Now it's time for you to keep your part

of the bargain.

My boy, you must have patience. I've waited long enough.

Last night, I suffered the tortures of the dam.

I killed a man.

Tonight the moon will be full again.

Now you stop whatever you're doing and operate on me or I swear I'll... You

destroy your only hope of release?

Well, any sign of your werewolf yet?

We're early for him, I guess.

Oh. So he appears on schedule like a train, is that it?

Increase your megavoltage to 100 ,000.

Danger, master!

Danger, master!

Decrease!

Hello, Swart.

Yeah. Come here quick.

What's the matter? What is it?

Lights. Adopt your Nemons.

Weird lights.

Flashing all over the old place.

Adopt your Nemons?

Yeah, we saw them from the road.

This place has been closed for 15 years.

We better investigate.

ready for it.

Master. Master.

Oh, Beth.

The only thing I ever loved.

It wouldn't have happened if you kept faith in me.

I served you well, master.

Remember Lampini?

Strauss?

Ullman? Now you are going to join them.

ground.

That's funny.
