* DramaticIrony: One flashback shows Father Lupesca express apparent faith in the church, and assuring Anna she'll be safe as long as his church wards off vampires. However, this is after the audience has seen previous flashbacks showing otherwise: Erszebet enters his church, Anna dies by her hands, all because the good priest's faith failed him. What's more, Professor Broom tries to convince Father Lupesca to keep an open mind concerning the occult while the latter believes such an approach would lead to corruption. Ironically enough, as the audience witnessed in previous flashbacks, Professor Broom's brand of faith kept him strong throughout the experience, while Father Lupesca ends up becoming Erszebet's unwilling [[TheRenfield servant]].

An animated adaptation of the ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'' comicbook series. They're a distinct [[AlternateContinuity continuity]], closer in spirit to the comics, but they feature actors (Creator/RonPerlman, Creator/SelmaBlair, Creator/DougJones, and Creator/JohnHurt) reprising their roles from [[Film/Hellboy2004 the live-action film series]], along with the addition of Creator/PeriGilpin as Kate Corrigan.
