Question
Hi. Could you please tell me how old or when Aleera, Verona and Marishka(Dracula women) were sired(turned into Vampires) by Dracula?

Answer
Hi, Alex...

Basing this answer strictly on movies, now... there is no history given on the three voluptuous "brides of Dracula." I have been thru several versions of "Dracula," from Lugosi to Langella to Oldman, and I have not heard a word about it...

Now, this from an English Lit professor friend of mine... according to the original book by Stoker, one of the three "seductresses," as they are called, mentions something about how long she has "served the Count." I'm going to have to find a copy of the text, though... Only one I have is a watered-down Americanized version.

If you find out anything, let me know, though... very interesting question... may I ask how it came up in conversation???

Thanks, and sorry I couldn't help you more now... hopefully, soon...

Thanks again,

PCG

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?
