* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Marya really wanted Garth to be her vampire partner and that's why she kidnapped Janet? Or after those cure seeking failures, did she know that Von Helsing (a prepared scholar that knows how to kill a vampire) and Scotland Yard were hunting her and [[DeathSeeker she just wanted to die?]] If her true goal was to die, she succeeded, just in a way she hadn't expected.

to:

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Marya herself is a good candidate for being the personification of this:
** Did she was really Dracula's biological daughter? Or his "vampire daughter"? He transformed her, or she born with that?
** She was a full vampire? Or a dhampir? Since she mentioned her presumably human mom, she can drink tea, and she uses mostly a ring to hypnotize her victims.
** She was really a legitimate "countess"?

* NightmareFuel: Even if it's less scary than it's [[Film/Dracula1931 predecessor]], there are some scary things:
** Despite it's iconic and famous among movie reviewers and it's [[LGBTFanbase fanbase]], the "lesbic" scene while implied sexual, is ''frightening''. Despite she acts caring to Lili, even offers her drink and food when she came to the Countess's studio, Lili models for her paints, but before the vampire attack that take Lili's life in the hospital, Marya had a completely hungry ''predator'' expression in her face. Lili is completely terrified, and before we saw it, the camera looks away, after Lili's terrified expression and we only hear her scream. Only she knows what she saw but the fact that she was under hypnotic powers and she is ''even'' scared, [[NightmareFace but the implications are scary]].
** Marya and her scary manservant, Sandor, rapts Janet in London to Transylvania.
** The novelization had more details, but the creepiest are Janet's POV in the medieval Castle Dracula. In what keep of her conscience, she saw the Countess herself, but with more terrifing details in her physical appearance, ''very'' in contrast with the human look that she had in London City. She is depicted more like a corpse, awakening from the earth among a stentch of rancid blood and earth with the lifeless eyes and expression, the leprosy earth covered fingers, and with her hungry jaw open. The more corpse-like features are things that you can expect of vampire cases in the Illustration era (XVIII century).
** Another chapter in the novelization have Jeffrey Garth making an analysis of Marya's paintings. Many reveals a trauma with a man, [[IHateYouVampireDad possibly ''her father'']]. If you consider ''who'' is her father, the most feared vampire, but also a sociopath tyrannical and cruel man and also a hellish undead creature, the implications are both scary and sad. ''What did Dracula to her''? After seeing ''Film/Renfield2023'' and the implications about being in the same universe as a distant sequel, and the characterization of Dracula as a complete monster, cruel, genocide, narcissistic and manipulator without ''any'' good features, seeing Marya's personality and hatred towards her curse and against him, is ''harder'' to see. Whatever he did to her (alongside with the vampirism), was no ''good''.
** Zigzaged with TearJerker and FridgeHorror, but at a point in both, movie and novel, Marya mentioned with more joy her (possibly) mortal mother singing for her, but we don't see her. Try to don't think ''what happened to her''. Or if the responsible of her disappeareance is Dracula or Marya herself in a out of control thirst attack. In the best of cases, she died years ago naturally.

* TheWoobie: Marya. She wants to be cured of her vampirism, but her sinister servant Sandor, [[ImmortalityImmorality seeking the immortality of undeath]], keeps [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating her back into it]]. Even if she is trying to resist it, it's impossible resist the vampirism and she ''really'' don't want to kill anymore, and in most part of the movie (while she is a bit ruthless when her blood thirst or companion wish appears), she looks ''tired and sad''. Try to think a female and vampire versión of [[Film/TheWolfMan1941 Lawrence Talbot]] and you have Marya Zaleska.
