This is the final part of my three part photo blog of “Horror Of Dracula”. In the final act of the story Van Helsing and Dracula finally meet and it is a battle of wits to the very end as Dracula tries to take a bride (Mina) and Van Helsing tries to destroy the legendary vampire.


It is time for the Holmwoods to wake up and realize the truth of the matter. There is something sinister a foot!


Mina and Arthur prepare to here a magical tale of phantoms.

Arthur sets out to check on Lucy’s final resting place.


He discovers that Lucy is not where she is suppose to be.


Meanwhile Tania sets out on an adventure of her own.


Lucy is waiting for the child to meet her.


Lucy takes Tania to a great spot to play a game.

This is just a really cool shot of the “Hammer red” blood as the stake pierces Lucy’s heart.


You know this is a really good book! Arthur talks to Helsing about the things in Jonathan’s diary.


Van Helsing contemplates the whereabouts of Dracula.


Oddly the search takes them far from Dracula’s true location and back to the border/toll crossing.

Money is knowledge! Arthur bribes the guy at the crossing in order to procure the information they need.


Mina’s rendezvous and Van Helsing’s lead point to the same location of Dracula’s whereabouts.

Dracula and Van Helsing fight in the grand library and for a minute it looks as if Dracula will be the victor.



Van Helsing’s will to live is stronger and he forces Dracula into the sunlight piercing through the window.
