"Bloodlust" is the eleventh episode of the fourth season of the Murdoch Mysteries and the fiftieth episode of the series.

Summary

Detective Murdoch investigates the death of a young female student attending a residential boarding school in Toronto. She was found on the school grounds in a fountain and Dr. Ogden confirms that she drowned. Somewhat ominously, she has several cuts and the doctor confirms she had lost 3 pints of blood. She also has what appears to be two bite marks on her neck. Constable Crabtree, who has been reading Dracula by Bram Stoker is convinced they have a vampire on the loose. Murdoch looks for a more realistic explanation and finds that several other girls at the school have been going out late at night and meeting a handsome young man - and who they too claim is a vampire.

Character Revelations

  • Murdoch is proud of a rhyming couplet he wrote in praise of the family dog. It was a very well-behaved dog.

Continuity

  • William and Julia have a hard time keeping their attraction for one another in check.

Historical References

  • The school in the story is The Tepes School for Girls. Vlad Tepes (aka Vlad the Impaler) is often erroneously thought to be Bram Stoker's inspiration for the character of Dracula.
  • Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known for his 1897 Gothic novel, Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as personal assistant to actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.

Trivia

Errors

  • The Everyman edition of "Dracula" shown multiple times is a modern edition. The original Dracula cover had an embossed cover.
  • In the views of the church, there is a post-Vatican II altar-table and not the traditional altar as used up to 1969.
