INT. CASTLE LABORATORY – NIGHT
Dracula, dressed in his traditional attire, stands in front of a table cluttered with potions and vials. Frankenstein’s monster looms behind him, observing his every move.
DRACULA: (turning to face the monster) Ah, Frankenstein’s creation. It’s been a while since we last spoke.
FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER: (grunting) Yes, Master Dracula.
DRACULA: (smirking) Please, call me Dracula. We are equals, after all.
FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER: (tilting his head) Equals?
DRACULA: (nodding) Of course. We both share the distinction of being creatures of the night, feared and reviled by humans. But we are not so different, you and I.
FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER: (curiously) How so?
DRACULA: (pacing around the laboratory) We are both products of science, Frankenstein’s monster. You were created from the parts of other beings, while I was transformed by a bite from another vampire. We are both unnatural, yet here we stand.
FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER: (slowly nodding) I see.
DRACULA: (smiling) But there is one thing that separates us, Frankenstein’s monster. One thing that makes me superior to you.
FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER: (furrowing his brow) And what is that, Master Dracula?
DRACULA: (turning to face him) Power. I have the power of the undead, the ability to control others with my mind, to shape shift, and to live forever. What power do you have?
FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER: (defensively) I have strength.
DRACULA: (laughing) Yes, strength. But strength alone will not protect you from the humans who fear and hate us. It will not save you from the torches and pitchforks of the angry mob.
FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER: (thoughtfully) What should I do, Master Dracula?
DRACULA: (smiling) Join me, Frankenstein’s monster. Together, we can rule the night, command the powers of darkness, and strike fear into the hearts of our enemies. Together, we are unstoppable.
FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER: (considering) I will think about it, Master Dracula.
DRACULA: (nodding) Good. Take all the time you need. But remember, Frankenstein’s monster, you are not alone. You have a brother in darkness, waiting to embrace you. Think on it.
Dracula exits the laboratory, leaving Frankenstein’s monster to ponder his offer. The laboratory is silent, except for the sound of the monster’s heavy breathing.
