HORROR MOVIE SYNOPSIS

Dracula's Daughter

The daughter of dracula (Countess Marya Zaleska played by Gloria Holden) seeks a cure for her vampirism by burning her father's body. After the destruction of her father's body fails to cure her, she seeks the help of a doctor (Jeffrey Garth played by Otto Kruger) for a cure. The doctor is no help to the vampire daughter, so the Countess kidnaps the doctor's girl (Janet played by Marguerite Churchill) and takes her back to Transylvania in Dracula's Daughter.

HORROR TRIVIA

- Although Bela Lugosi did not appear in Dracula's Daughter, he was paid $4,000 in appearance fees to promote the movie as Dracula.

- Under financial troubles, Universal Pictures' control was changed just days after production was finished with Dracula's Daughter. Standard Capital Corporation took over the company and promptly fired founder Carl Laemmle Jr.
