The first time Van Helsing (a Dutchman in the novel) has actually been played by someone from The Netherlands.
One of the biggest differences with Bram Stoker's original novel is that this version's plot takes place entirely in Transylvania. Stoker's work moves the action to England.
Rutger Hauer who plays Van Helsing, previously played Dracula in Dracula III: Legacy (2005) and Thomas Kretschmann who plays Dracula, later played Van Helsing in Dracula (2013).
Fifth collaboration between Writer and Director Dario Argento and his daughter Asia Argento.
Dracula is able to transform himself into animals like a wolf, an owl, a cockroach, or even a mantis.
