Carfax Abbey │ Children Of The Night

 Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula

Carfax Abbey was the home that Dracula purchased through Jonathan Harker, his real estate agent.  It was located near London, England.  It was here that Dracula would come to meet the lovely Wilhelmina (Mina) Murray, and spread his reign of terror far beyond Transylvania.  Movie adaptations of the book combined the Asylum and  Carfax Abbey.  This provided a much richer environment in which to stalk the Count. The most obvious example of this is in "Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)", where the vampire hunters, led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing, enter Carfax Abbey to destroy the crates of native soil that Dracula had brought over with him by boat from Transylvania.
