One of his undead brides also emerges from her coffin. A gigantic beetle crawls out of another coffin. And then the first glimpse of Dracula - a 500 year old vampire. He is standing upright next to his coffin, wrapped tightly in an all-enveloping black cape. His ashen face with a piercing, unmoving, cold fixed gaze is illuminated with an unholy glow from the twilight and his black hair is slickly combed straight back.
Rats scurry about and wolves howl.
Dracula's three undead brides glide silently along. In the swirling fog around Borgo Pass, a coachman waits for the arrival of the dutiful English businessman on his important journey. Near midnight, the coach arrives. The terrified coach driver stops just long enough for his passenger to climb down at the bleak crossroads. The driver hurriedly throws his luggage on the ground and then abandons him.
