* AnimalMotifs: Dracula can take the forms of various animals, though oddly not [[BarrageOfBats the stereotypical bats]]. Owls are silent and deadly predators who attack by surprise, while wolves terrorize the land in packs like Dracula's thralls and offspring. He can also take the form of swarms of insects, scavengers that can spread disease and death but that can also go unnoticed.



* {{Homage}}: The film is an ode to cheesy ''Film/HammerHorror''-style flicks of the '60s and '70s, and borrows scenes from both ''Film/HorrorOfDracula'' and ''Film/BramStokersDracula''.



* RevolutionariesWhoDontDoAnything: A small group of village men attempt to plot resistance against Dracula, but Dracula prevented that.
