Phenomena in artwork: A vampire

The film shows a few of the vampires: count Dracula himself and addressed them women. As befits a classic vampires, they drink blood, sleep in coffins filled with their native soil and fear sunlight, crucifixes and garlic blossoms. The ability to turn into wolves and bats characters in the film are considered to be fiction. It is unknown whether the impact of the local vampires in the mirror, the film made no mention of it.

A vampire becomes everyone who died from vampire bites. Once bitten a person loses free will and longs to be bitten again, bringing thus his death and transformation into a vampire. Such people can not stand the smell of garlic and the crucifix leaves on their skin burns are the same and the skin has turned to vampires. After the death of a vampire victim, who had not managed to ask, recovering.

To kill the vampire, piercing his body with a wooden stake. After the death of a vampire acquiring an image corresponding to his age: seemingly young girl turns into an ancient old woman.

Sunlight is also deadly to vampires. Once under direct sunlight, Dracula's body crumbles to dust (probably, it also acquires a shape corresponding to its five-century age).
