Nosferatu.
Also there are more references to traditional vampire things like driving a stake through the heart and filling the head with garlic, to kill the vampire.
The main points of these chapters are that Mina decides to transcribe the journal which Jonathan kept at Dracula's castle so that Van Helsing can look at them to find clues about Lucy's death. Jonathan is writing in his diary again and he is getting afraid that Dracula is in London. There are more and more cases of people with neck wounds that are pretty much identical to the ones on Lucy's neck. Then the main part of these chapters is the graveyard bit with the Westenra tomb in which it starts off with VanHelsing trying to prove that Lucy is a vampire then there is this whole incident where Lucy is confronted and its gets ugly as Arthur has a feeling of disgust towards her then the next night they carry out the act to kill her. Then they make a pact to set out to kill Dracula.
Its weird how the love which Arthur, Quincey, and Seward had for Lucy has been basely turned into hate at the sight of Lucy.
The tomb part is very Gothic as i can just imagine all this mist covering the outskirts with these people lifting the tops off coffins. This could be made into a very spooky, scary scene if it was in a film. You could almost expect more wolves to appear.
