No corny lines remain; at his most indulgent, Richter keeps an episode in which Dracula hurls a candelabra into a magnificent drawing room mirror that does not reflect his image. "Pardon me," he tells Van Helsing, matter-of-factly, "I dislike mirrors...

"Rock people are just like the movie stars of the '40s," says la dame du flash. "It's exciting to watch them spend money. They're looking for something that says they've arrived.
