Does that mean a vampire with a "t" in his name couldn't write his name on his coffin because a "t" looks like a cross? We come across cross shaped items and architecture all the time, which would make a vampire's life very difficult. ...

Just as, later in the series, a real crucifix wielded by a non-believer proves harmless, a pseudo-cross wielded by one with sufficient faith (and sufficient belief that what he was holding counted as a real cross) becomes a true crucifix in that bearer's hands.

Upon a second viewing, I was very impressed with this aspect of the film. It's a damn good looking picture with lots of attention to details. I bet people felt robbed upon seeing it the first time that the film had no Dracula. No matter. It still packs a good punch. Both "rising" scenes are well done (except for the very thin layer of dirt perhaps). So far it has been my favorite of the Hammers, but I have quite a few more to see.
