** Professor Archibald Oxblood [[LooksLikeOrlok looks like Count Orlok]] from ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}'' and Lenny is a dead ringer (pun not intended) for Riff Raff from ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''.

** Stoker's English name is a clear shout-out to Creator/BramStoker, while his outfit and appearance reference the ClassicalMovieVampire look set by the 1931 movie ''[[Film/{{Dracula1931}} Dracula]]''.
** Maxine Schreck, a one-time vampire character, is named after Max Schreck, the actor portraying Count Orlok in ''Film/{{Nosferatu}}''. She also bears some resemblance to Morticia Addams from [[Series/TheAddamsFamily The Addams Family]].
** Arnie, a one-time human character who plays a vampire for a carnival show, dresses in red robes and a hairstyle similar to the infamous costume from ''Film/BramStokersDracula''.
** Ravena, Oxblood's niece featured in "Dr. Leechy and Mr. Cool", is dressed in an outfit that strongly resembles Mina Harker's green dress from ''Film/BramStokersDracula''.

* {{Diary}}: The Season 4 episode "Fletschers Tagebuch" (Stoker's Diary) involves Stoker losing his diary and being found by a TV producer, who uses it as a basis for a TV show which looks like a meta-parody of this show.

* ThemeTuneCameo: Heard during the episode "A Bad Cold".

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** In "What's Up With Lenny" Polidori mentions that his vampire catching device is called the Vampinator Incinerator Aggravinator, or "Viagara-tor" for short.
** In "Totally Eclipsed" the kids go on a scavenger hunt during a solar eclipse. To facilitate this, they're wearing cameras so the teachers can see what they're seeing. Oskar and Leechy go into a candy store to pick up some candy. The woman at the counter, who is wearing a rather poofy dress, [[SkirtsAndLadders climbs up a ladder to retrieve a jar]], whereupon Oskar and Leechy smile at each other. Later on Gothetta replays the footage and while the scene cuts away before we're shown anything we do see everyone's reactions--let's just say they're ''really'' into what they're watching, except for Lady Kryptina who just looks uncomfortable.
** In "Vampirates," Stoker, Leechy, and Oskar find an abandoned pirate ship with a treassure, but disagree over what to do with it (Oskar wanting to leave the treasure where it is, while Stoker wants to keep it). So they end up playing poker to settle their argument, but Oskar loses every round due to Stoker cheating. So he starts betting his clothes in order to keep playing. He ends up dressed in nothing but his shorts and shoes.

* UnusualEuphemism: Stoker has, on occasion, said "Stake you!" or "Go stake yourself!" to other vampires. Also counts as a hilarious example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

* LullDestruction: Occasionally, the English dub adds a few extra lines or vocal sound effects like giggling or grunting that weren't present in the German original. Happens most notably with Leechy.

* ValuesDissonance: In "The Vampire Who Cried Werewolf" Stoker gives the werewolf exchange student a piece of gum containing silver because he doesn't believe he's a real werewolf, something that likely wouldn't make it to broadcast today given how much more conscious the world is regarding allergies.

-------

* Screwtherulesimdoingwhatsright: Oskar tends to disobey the teachers' instructions to stay in the castle if the problem is something he caused.

* HalloweenEpisode: "Trick Or Treat" centers around a Halloween party held at Polidori/Sunshine's house.

* LipLock: Happens more noticeably in the earlier dubbed episodes.

* FreakyFridayFlip: Happens between Oskar and Stoker in "Topsy Turvy".

* FavouritismFlipFlop: In "Inside Out" Polidori disguises himself as a vampire to try and infiltrate the school. Oskwr remakrs that if they can convince Polidori they're just an ordinary human school he won't bother them anymore, but Oxblood brushes it off saying it's a silly idea. However, Count von Horrificus thinks it's a good one, leading Oxblood to backpedal and also say it's a good idea.

* CampingEpisode: In "Campfire" Oskar and Stoker's arguing causes their dormitory to be destroyed, so the teachers take the opportunity to teach them wilderness survival while Lenny does repairs.

* HappyBirthdayToYou: The kids sing the song in "Bite Me!", although birthday got changed to bite day
