The newest project in the world of Dracula is The Brides, which will be based on the hit novel of the same name from author Charlotte Cross (via Bloody Disgusting). As its name implies, The Brides tells the story of the three women who would end up becoming Dracula’s brides, as well as the fourth woman who managed to escape. The other intriguing note here is that the film will be both a prequel and a sequel to Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
The Brides Will Finally Explore A Mysterious Part of Dracula’s History
While there have been multiple versions of Dracula on the big screen, one of the elements that hasn’t been explored as much is the story of Dracula’s three brides. The three brides were featured in the original story, though they weren’t actually called the brides; instead being referred to as the sisters throughout the original novel.
All three would show up at various points within the castle and outside during a memorable scene that involved Van Helsing, and they actually almost defeat Van Helsing, but he is saved by a Soul Wail from Mina. That allows him to break their enchantment and go through the lengthy process of killing each one.
