Two ways this show copied Universal's Dracula films

- Barn is dressed at home--in an attempt to do so like a normal man--wearing a bathrobe with his shirt and tie. Dracula's son and Dracula himself did this in sequels to the original 1931 Dracula film.
- Maggie, Carolyn and Vicki all get bitten by Barn and turn into something halfway to vampires. And they become his cronies. Do not remember the latter two beauties having trouble seeing or at least functioning in daylight like Maggie did. Though Vic was only like this a very short time. This is similar to what happened to Mina by Dracula in the original movie.

Wishing you a pleasant Memorial Day weekend, Benton. Many thanks for your service, if you served in the US military.
I want to clarify that what you refer to as a "bathrobe" was, in the productions you point out, actually always a nice dressing gown, which is a more formal-ish/"proper" type over garment, for wearing indoors during mainly daytime hours. Dressing gowns for the most part faded away during the final third or so of the 20th century. I actually had (have) a wonderful quilted silk one, that I bought at Harrods in London, during the late '70s onward. (It, for several years, has been hanging in a wardrobe in my attic; no longer fits me like it used to back in the day, regrettably.)
A dressing gown is typically for wearing over day clothes, whereas a bathrobe is generally for wearing at night, over sleepwear (or less).
I've seen men's dressing gowns worn in a great many Classic films of the '20s through '40s (to lesser extent through the '60s-'70s or so).

My very French-Canadian descended great-grandfather on my mom's side was a doughboy in World War One.
