It's a plain, cold fact that no matter how many times you kill Count Dracula, he won't stay dead for long. Some melting ice, a trickle of blood, an incantation or two, and there he is in the next sequel, climbing out of his coffin and stealing through the night, looking for a neck to bite. True to the formula, this Dracula movie starts out with the count still dead from the last time, brings him back for a spell, and ends with him dead again, impaled on a large silver crucifix. If you think I've spoiled it for you, relax. We haven't seen the last of Count Dracula. We never do. We never will.
