He feeds during sex dooming her to become his [[SingleTargetSexuality obsessed slave]].
** In ''The Savage Return of Dracula'', an unconscious Jeanie is left as bait on a bed in Castle Dracula, a crucifix around her neck to protect her. Dracula returns from a hunt and finds her in one of his rooms. He attempts to attack her when Frank counterattacks, [[spoiler: but he is overpowered and left for dead. Jeanie awakens and Dracula hypnotizes her to throw away the cross. Once she is defenseless, Dracula drains her dry]].
