Count Dracula (1977) - Deviations From The Novel

Deviations From The Novel

This list is not exhaustive, but intended to convey a sense of the differences between the film and the novel:

• Dracula does not grow younger.
• Mina and Lucy are sisters.
• Quincey Morris and Arthur Holmwood are combined into one character.
• Dracula is portrayed as attractive, urbane, even seductive.
• Dracula is not staked in the book, but has his throat slashed with Harker's kukri and is stabbed through the heart with Morris' Bowie knife.
• Dracula is killed by Professor Van Helsing
• Quincey is wounded, but does not die as in the novel
