Plot summary The film starts with a shot of Count Dracula's castle and the following text - Over fifty years ago, Bram Stoker wrote the greatest of all horror stories. Now, for the first time, we retell exactly as he wrote, one of the first--and still the best--tales of the macabre.
Jonathan Harker, a lawyer traveling from London to Transylvania to secure property for Count Dracula, arrives at Bistritz to stay for the night. There, he is warned by a concerned lady against continuing his journey the following day. Harker believes that her concerns are rooted in peasant superstition. He ignores her, but starts to feel increasingly unnerved by the way everyone looks at him. Harker sets off for the rest of his journey and arrives at the Borgo Pass where he's picked up by the Count, though Harker doesn't realise that it's him until much later.

Harker debarks at Castle Dracula, and the coach immediately rushes off. Somewhat hesitantly, Harker approaches the main door, whereupon a thin, tall, gaunt old man opens it. Harker asks, "Count Dracula?" "I am Dracula, enter freely and of your own will," says the man at the door (this dialog is taken straight from Bram Stoker's book). Another detail from the book that is ignored by most film adaptions is that Dracula first appears as an old man with a moustache and clad entirely in black. Dracula takes Harker to his bedchamber where Harker notices that Dracula casts no reflection. In the following scene, Harker dines and tells the Count of London, including more dialogue taken directly from the book. Castle Dracula was elaborate Universal Studios Tour show created in 1980 by Verne Langdon with Jay Stein and Terry Winnick. ...

The Brides of Dracula are the three seductive female vampires, minions of the infamous King of Vampires, Count Dracula - who inhabit his castle in Transylvania with him, in the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. ...
Harker realises he's now a prisoner and climbs out of his bedroom window and finds Count Dracula and his three brides in coffins. Harker runs out of a window screaming.

Quincey Morris, Lucy's fiancée, joins Drs. Seward and Van Helsing. They give her a blood transfusion from Quincey but it doesn't seem that Van Helsing makes any effort other than this to save Lucy. Dracula gets younger while feeding off Lucy. Of growing interest to the men, though, is one of the patients at the lunatic asylum, R.M Renfield, who is classed as a zoophagus. He eats flies and insects in order to consume their life, believing that with each life he consumes he gains that life. He seems to act violently whenever Dracula is around.

Lucy eventually dies while her men look on. Lucy, thanks to Van Helsing's sudden knowledge of vampires, is diagnosed as one. Lucy feeds off the blood of a child, killing one and the men destroy her in her tomb. Harker comes around and joins the group who then ascertain that Count Dracula is their vampire.
Dracula then turns his attention to Mina and Van Helsing suddenly has a stroke and remains in a wheel chair.
Count Dracula returns to Transylvania and is trailed by Harker and Quincey who catch up with him, then set fire to his coffin. At the same time, Dracula is approaching Mina many miles away (he is appearing in two places at once--a feat that is not explained in any way). As his coffin burns, Dracula turns back into an old man and burns to death.
