  • Dracula's Brides also go through several different looks throughout the maze.
    • The redhead Bride of Dracula goes from normal to staked (outside the abandoned church)
    • The burnette Bride of Dracula (who Murdy referred to as Stitches) goes from normal to missing hair and having stitches in her head (due to The Bride of Frankenstein cutting out parts of her head to experiment on) to then staked.
    • The blonde Bride of Dracula (who Murdy referred to as Crosses) goes from normal to having a giant cross Imprint on her forehead to then staked.
