- That scene was only in the movie. It was not in the book. In the book no
- mention is made of Dracula's family except lightly in terms of it's history
- in regard to fighting etc. No mention of the women in his family at all. In the
- book, Mina had nothing to do with Dracula's wife. Coppola made that up. Sorry.
