Fair use rationale for Image:Countessdracula.jpg[edit]

Image:Countessdracula.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Character name[edit]

The name is Nádasdy (pronounced NAH-DAHSH-DEE in Hungarian). Who keeps changing it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gyula (talk • contribs) 01:58, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The linking of this film to Hammer's Karnstein trilogy is vague and extremely tenuous. It is true that the company was attempting alternatives to their usual horror output, but it could as easily be argued on these grounds that Countess Dracula is related to The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires or Demons of the Mind.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.235.117.147 (talk) 17:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

The reason for mentioning the Brides of Dracula from Stoker's novel is unclear. Is the author implying that Countess Nadasdy is one of these brides? Dracula's "brides" in Stoker's novel are most probably past victims who live on at his castle as vampires. It is not likely that any of them is to be literally taken to be the Count's wife in the traditional sense. Also, Countess Elizabeth in Countess Dracula is not literally in any way related to the Count. The film ends with some peasants chanting (rather anachronistically) that she is "Countess Dracula, the Devil woman." It is rather more like a condemnation than a pronouncement of relationship to Stoker's character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.235.117.147 (talk) 19:09, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
