 First off, I also believe that the issue reported is invalid. But you can
 see Dracula elsewhere in the castle. There's just specific conditions to
 it and, as far as I can tell, it always requires first having visited his
 coffin room.

 For what is worth, this topic was also brought up on the forums, by the

 At the time I did some testing with the game in ScummVM and these were the
 findings (copied from my forum post):

 What I can tell is that, at least in the current version of ScummVM, you
 have to first visit Dracula's coffin room to trigger the possibility of
 his appearing in the castle.

 As far as I can tell, these possibilities exist (maybe more):

 1. You find the coffin open and leave. Then, if you go up to the first
 room of the castle, Dracula attacks (this does not seem to be random at
 all). You have to wear the cross to make him go away (transforms to bat).
 Otherwise he kills you. To make him re-appear you'll have to re-visit his
 coffin room, find it open, leave, and so on.

 2. You find the coffin closed, open it and wait a bit. Dracula wakes up
 and attacks. If you are wearing the cross, he flies away. If you don't he
 kills you. If you move close to the exit of the coffin room before he
 wakes up, you can leave the room, and he'll follow you to the next one
 with the stairs and attack there. I am unsure if you can dodge him being
 quick enough and have him chase after you more. If he flies away, and you
 leave and go up to the first room, you will again encounter Dracula, just
 like the aforementioned first case.

 3. If you find the coffin closed and leave and go up to the first room,
 Dracula won't appear there.

 Finding the coffin open or closed seems to be random. You can trigger each
 case by walking out and back in to the coffin room.
