1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** The game overuses Carmina Burina as OminousLatinChanting to borderline [[{{Narm}} unintentional hilarity]], especially given that the lyrics are all about fate. However, as mentioned under NarmCharm, the final scene is synced ''perfectly'' with the song so that the second it picks up and slows down, the tension raises.
3** To say nothing of the finale in the remastered version, which ditches the stock music for a CaptainErsatz theme that is still timed ''very'' well.
4* CompleteMonster: {{Dracula}} is the same bloodthirsty vampire he has always been. He killed Arthur Holmwood and his wife and took Arthur's place. Dracula then goes on a killing spree, [[VampiricDraining draining the blood]] of his victims and [[ZombifyTheLiving transforming some of them into vampires]]. During the game, [[PlayerCharacter Alexander Morris]] arrives in London to investigate the death of his brother. Dracula first kills Doctor Briarcliffe and leaves his severed head, then he kills Juilet and turns her into a vampire, with her killing another person. Dracula also plans to turn Annisette Bowen into his [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe vampire queen]], so when Devlin kidnaps her, he goes after him. Dracula kills Devlin and reveals himself planning to kill Arthur and turn Annisette into a vampire. In some of the endings, Dracula ends up killing a majority of the characters, including forcing Annisette to kill Alexander.
5* EnsembleDarkhorse: The cab drivers and their crazy accents, thanks to Retsupurae.
6* NarmCharm:
7** The death of Dracula is absolutely hilarious. Alexander pulls down a ton of curtains to reveal multiple crucifixes on each wall, and on the Sega CD and PC versions, Alexander holds up the cross right as the O Fortuna chorus sings "So suck on this", and Dracula is replaced by an obvious puppet.
8** What's more hilarious is what happens if you don't bring the cross. Then Dracula pulls out Alexander's heart and he just falls over instantly. It's so fake it's awesome.
9* NightmareFuel: Two game over endings are actually rather scary.
10** One where a lunatic yells "I'M SAAAAAAAANE!" as he strangles Alexander to death.
11** Another has Dracula throw a cross at the ground and say "Helsing sends his regards. His ''final'' regards."
12* SoBadItsGood: The hammy acting, exaggerated accents, and cheesy effects make going through this game worth it. It's actually considered one of the best FMV games from the 1990s for this reason as well as being a passable followup to ''Dracula''.
13* SpecialEffectFailure: Mostly near the end when trying to show up the supernatural nature of the vampires. Plenty of cheap special effects. The DVD edition, with its cleaner video, makes these moments much more obvious.
