Dracula Coppola vampire brides

The Brides of Dracula are three voluptuous young women whom Count Dracula chose as his sensual companions and lovers some time during his early years as a vampire. They were originally local Transylvanian townswomen or possibly gypsies whom Dracula kidnapped and fed upon like any other victim before converting them into vampires like himself after falling in love with them to some degree or just seeking to assuage his deep loneliness. He keeps them relatively satisfied both sexually as well as curbs their bloodlust by feeding them baby boys whom he kidnaps from local women and the town's nurseries.

These undead harlots were never named individually, but in Bram Stoker's story they resided in Castle Dracula and would present themselves to the Count's guests in a playful, seductive manner. Those that were enticed by the brides' flirtatious allure would find themselves becoming the trio's next meal.

Beneath their charming exteriors, the brides are fierce and savage predators. They possess strength and power comparable to Dracula's, though to a lesser degree. While loyal to the Count, their violent instincts sometimes overwhelm them, as seen when they defied Dracula's orders and tried to feed on Jonathan Harker.
