Quote:Dracula does exist in the Buffy world, and he's not dusted. In fact, he can't be dusted -- permanently. He appeared in an episode two years ago or so, and it turns out he's some kind of anomaly among vampires -- a stake will dust him, but he'll reconstitute in a couple of minutes, he has mind control and shapeshifting powers and can walk in the sun. Spike thinks he's an effeminate poser and claims Drac's tricks are just that -- something any vampire could learn if he wanted to teach them. But he doesn't.
plus Dracula's either dusted or not in Buffy-land
Weirdly enough, the Buffyverse has Dracula movies -- and the "real" Dracula matches his press, more or less. "I've seen all your movies, I know your tricks," Buffy announces the second time she stakes him in as many minutes.
