Ape About Dracula Trivia Quiz

Answer: Son of Dracula

Kay had married someone who called himself Count Alucard (Lon Chaney Jr). Frank Stanley (Robert Paige) set fire to Dracula's coffin after someone noticed that "Alucard" was "Dracula" spelled backwards. When the sun rose, Dracula had no coffin to return to, so the sun turned him into a skeleton.

There may have been other movies in which Dracula's coffin was burned, but this was the only one in which Lon Chaney Jr played as Dracula.

Answer: Andy Warhol's Dracula

In the comical but sometimes violent movie "Andy Warhol's Dracula", Dracula had to leave his home because he needed virgin blood, and there were no more virgins in that area. Dracula claimed to be a wealthy aristocrat when he temporarily moved in with a landowner who needed money.

When the landowner was away, Dracula bit one of the landowner's grown daughters, but her blood made him sick, because she wasn't a virgin. Later, he bit another daughter, but she also wasn't a virgin, and he got sick again.

Answer: House of Frankenstein

In "House of Frankenstein" Dracula (John Carradine) killed Burgomeister Hussman (Sig Ruman) because Dr. Niemann (Boris Karloff) wanted revenge for being put in prison. Dr. Niemann had resurrected Dracula by pulling the stake out of his skeleton. Then Dracula seduced Hussman's granddaughter-in-law Rita (Anne Gwynne) by giving her his ring.

After Dracula died in a wild chase when the sun came out, the ring fell off her finger, symbolizing that Dracula had lost his control of her.

Answer: Dracula Has Risen From the Grave (1968)

In the movie "Dracula Has Risen From the Grave" two priests went to the castle to make sure Dracula hadn't moved back into it. One priest stuck a large metal cross over the doors to the castle, because Dracula couldn't touch the cross without getting burned.

The other priest stayed lower on the side of the mountain, but he cut himself on the jagged rocks, and some of his blood dripped through a crack in the ice, into the mouth of Dracula (Christopher Lee), who had been trapped and frozen in the ice in the previous movie.

After Dracula was resurrected, he possessed the priest whose blood resurrected him and got him to help remove the cross from the doors and possess the niece of the other priest. When the cross was removed, it fell partially down the mountain with its pointy top sticking up. Later, Dracula had a fight with someone and fell from the castle onto the pointy top of the cross. Dracula's hands burned when he touched the cross to pull himself off of it. Dracula turned into a red dust.

Answer: Taste the Blood of Dracula

"Taste the Blood of Dracula" began by repeating how Dracula died at the end of "Dracula Has Risen From the Grave". A man collected the red dust which was all that was left of Dracula. Later, three respectable British businessmen went to a wild place one night to get drunk, and a man told them they could live forever if they drank the blood of Dracula.

They went with him to a deserted church. The mystery man cut his hand and sprinkled his blood into the red dust, which made it all liquefy. He drank some of the blood and offered it to the businessmen.

They refused to drink it and ran away when the man started choking. The choking man fell to the floor, rolled around, and became Dracula (Christopher Lee).

Answer: Scars of Dracula

At the beginning of "Scars of Dracula" blood dripped out of a bat's mouth into Dracula's mouth. This resurrected Dracula. Dracula captured a young woman to romance at his castle, but she wore a cross necklace which kept him away. At the end of the movie he had a fight on the roof with someone while holding up an iron bar during the thunderstorm. Lightning struck Dracula. Dracula burst into flame and fell off the castle.
