Carmilla and Laura

Product Information

Her father sets out with Laura, in a carriage, for the ruined village of Karnstein, three miles distant. They leave a message behind asking Carmilla and one of the governesses to follow once the perpetually late-sleeping Carmilla awakes. En route to Karnstein, Laura and her father encounter General Spielsdorf. He tells them his own ghastly story. In 1989, Gabrielle Beaumont directed Jonathan Furst's adaptation of Carmilla as an episode of the Showtime television series Nightmare Classics, featuring Meg Tilly as the vampire and Ione Skye as her victim Marie. Furst relocated the story to an American antebellum southern plantation. [56] Laura and Danny are, despite Carmilla's sarcastic commentary, able to determine that every girl who went missing did so at a party. Additionally, the ones who did go missing went to parties that had things supplied to them by the Alchemy Club. Carmilla points out that the members of the club in question don't have the manpower nor ability to pull off large scale kidnappings, so Laura and Danny decide to interview the women themselves. Their first interviewee, Natalie, acts out with them, paying no attention to their questions and spending much of her time performing odd actions, which leaves them both disturbed. Both the titular antagonists - Carmilla and Dracula, respectively, pretend to be the descendants of much older nobles bearing the same names, but are eventually revealed to have the same identities. However, with Dracula, this is left ambiguous. Although it is stated by Van Helsing (a character with a slightly-awkward grasp of the English language) that he "must, indeed, have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land", the next statement begins with "If it be so", thereby leaving a thin margin of ambiguity. [30] Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Everyone calls the Dean just " the Dean". Of course, her real name Inanna is a closely-guarded secret, but she does have a legal name in her human guise, Lilita Morgan. She's only referred to as "Dean Morgan" on a couple of occasions, usually in an official or bureaucratic context, and the first name Lilita is never spoken aloud on-screen in all three seasons. Moreoever, even after the protagonists learn of her true identity as Inanna, they continue to refer to her as "the Dean" most of the times (except, of course, for Carmilla and Mattie, who call her "Mother").
