Dracula fans were left on the edge of their seats for much of the tense horror series created by Sherlock’s Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. Dracula came to a dramatic end as the series jumped into the modern-day and Count Dracula (played by Claes Bang) seemingly met his match in an organisation designed to kill him. However, some fans were left wondering about some unresolved moments in the final episode.

WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Dracula episode 3

1. Where did all of the undead come from?

In the third episode of Dracula, the Count is seen to take Lucy Westenra (Lydia West) to a nearby graveyard where he reveals the undead living in the earth.

However, some viewers have wondered where all of these people came from as Dracula had only been in the country for a few months.

Furthermore, in the second episode, one of the main reasons Sister Agatha (Dolly Wells) wants to destroy the ship is to stop the Vampiric curse from travelling to England.

While it is possible Dracula killed all of these people in his time in the country, most of the graves seem to be reasonably old.

One possible explanation is how there may have been more vampires in the UK but this was never revealed in the series.

2. Why could Lucy not see her own body when she looked down?

After Lucy has been cremated, viewers watched as she remained undead but completely covered in severe burns.

However, when she saw herself in mirrors, it was as the beautiful woman she was in life, not realising what had happened to her.

Then it was only after Van Helsing telling her to take a selfie when she found out exactly what she looked like.

However, it is never explained why she is not able to see the burns on her body when she looks down at herself, especially when she kills the crematorium worker.

3. Won’t Van Helsing just return as undead?

Throughout the series, viewers watched as Dracula’s victims all returned as the undead.

As the series ended with Dracula draining the blood from Agatha, some may be wondering if this might mean she will just do the same.

While she is lying lifeless at the end of the series, it seems possible she may just be in her transition period as is the case with Dracula’s other victims.

The reason why this would not happen to her is not revealed in the episode so could this leave her room to return?

4. Where did the myths about Dracula’s weaknesses come from?

The biggest twist of the final episode of Dracula was how the Count is not affected by the Sun.

Sister Agatha explained this to him, as well as telling him how he is not affected by crosses or able to enter places.

She said to him: “These aren’t curses, they are merely habit that become fetishes that become legends that even you believe.”

However, given Dracula is the original vampire in the series, it is not explained where these myths come from or how they originated.

While Van Helsing told him they were born from fear, it is not revealed why he started enacting them in the first place.

5. Is Dracula really dead?

As was revealed earlier in the episode, Van Helsing’s blood was considered to be deadly to the vampire.

This is because she is dying of cancer, which makes her blood poisonous to the Count.

At the end of the episode, he drains her blood from her knowing it will kill him as viewers see him lying lifeless on her body.

However, in the original novel by Bram Stoker, the only way to kill the vampire is by a stake through the heart, which could mean he is not actually dead.

Co-creator Gatiss even teased his story could continue into another series back in October to the Radio Times.

He told the publication: “It’s very hard to kill a vampire. Do you know what I mean? What they do is resurrect.”

Dracula is available to stream on BBC and Netflix.
