children of the night
Having been loaded on to a ship (the Demeter) bound for England, Count Dracula, hidden in a box containing his homeland earth, lived on the blood of the sailors on board until all were dead. The ship then pitched up, wrecked, in the harbour of Whitby in the county of Yorkshire in England, whereupon Dracula jumped from the wreck on to the quay in the shape of a large dog and escaped into the night.
Because he awake at night and had nothing better to do. You see, Count Dracula had friends in Frankenstein, The Mummy and Tom Cruise. He got sick of Tom Cruise's attitude and was like "Danga doop dang dizzle. I vant to suck your blood". Chinga chang.
You generally find Count Dracula is introduced in movies when he first opens the door to Jonathan Harker at Castle Dracula. It is always a dramatic way to initiate the appearance of such a sinister character. This has happened right from the beginning when the silent film Nosferatu was made. Right through to Bela Lugosi standing on top of the steps, and Gary Oldman and his sweeping gestures inviting Harker in:"Count Dracula?" He bowed in a courtly way as he replied:-"I am Dracula. And I bid you welcome, Mr. Harker, to my house. Come in; the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest."
"The Children of the night. Listen to them, what sweet musik they sing." Dracula to Mr. Harker when they hear Wolves singing in the night.

He tells Jonathan not to fall asleep in any room other than his.

Lucy Westenra is the attractive, vivacious heroine sort yet represents the old-fashion, Victorian type of woman dependent on men. She is 'seduced' by Count Dracula, killed and turned into a vampire by him. Her 'suitors' are then required to destroy her. Wilhelmina "Mina" Murray is also a Victorian type, the quiet and submissive sort, but she serves her fiance Johnathan by possessing, what was then, considered to be a number of modern values, namely knowing short-hand, and business administration. Later when she becomes the Count's 'Living Thrall' and is in a sort of telepathic link with him the men have to concede to her a leading role in taking the battle to the count. Before this the men were constantly trying to 'protect' her from any such a role by denying her involvement and even information. She was religated into keeping a diary of the events. However, at the end, it is she and Doctor Van Helsing alone that approach Castle Dracula in preparation for the final battle. In addition there are three vampire brides of Dracula who very nearly devour Johnathan. He has to be saved from them by the Count himself. (Yes, the story does get complicated.) It requires both Doctor Van Helsing and Mina to stand them down during the night, then the Doctor alone has to hunt them down during the day and destroy them all before night returns. (However it is the man who are the final victors. Mina takes only a minor part at the final battle and has to be 'saved from her thralldom' by them. )

"Ahh, the children of the night; what beautiful music they make." Count Dracula "In the blood is the life." Count Dracula quoting the Bible "What if I'm not the hero. What if I'm the bad guy." Edward Cullen "Is it such a sacrifice knowing you give to a life more worthy?" Carl Vonstrad "Ahh yes, she was ...pure." Andy Warhol's Dracula "The crucifix doctor? And I thought you were such a good communist?" Simeon Thalket

Transforming is not one of your basis vampire abilities. Count Dracula could transform because he, in addition to being a vampire, was also a high level sorcerer.
