Oh man - I just realised that Zeleska is "Akselez" backward!

And you all know what that means!

I actually have no idea.

Perhaps Count Alucard and Countess Zeleska were offsprings of Count Dracula. He DID have three wives. When he wasn't biting people, I think he was a "busy" count.  8)
Perhaps. We just don't have any way to know. In the original "Dracula's Daughter" screenplay, there was a flashback sequence explaining her creation as Dracula's daughter. What I've always found interesting is her name being different. Either she wasn't a Dracula by birth, but he took her as his vampiric "daughter," or she was indeed Dracula's biological daughter and, at one time, was married to "Count Zaleska."

I've always assumed that it was just a way to cash in on the Dracula name and Chaney's monster-stardom?!  I doubt there was much thought behind how or why this guy is considered the son of Dracula...... ;D

I agree. As much as I love Universal's horror movies, there is some faulty logic going on there. I mean, why would Frankenstein's monster willingly participate in a brain transplant? It's not going to end well for him!

Well, he DID have an "abnormal brain." It was clearly labelled as such. (Funny how Henry Frankenstein missed that, huh?)

I thought it was labelled "Abby Normal"?

Am I reading these posts right? Are people really trying to bring too much logic in here? We are talking about a monster movie that was made before they could even do brain surgery.

Logic predates neurosurgery by 2400 years. So, what's your point?
