• This little scene after Van Helsing says bullets won't work on the bat that is flying around cracks me up;
  Maid: "He's crazy!"
  Martin: "They're all crazy. They're all crazy except you and me. Sometimes I have my doubts about you."
  Maid: "Yes."
  Martin slowly backs away
  • In the spanish version, she walks off in a huff. a more realistic reaction, but still funny for those used to the English.
• While the Spanish Version of Dracula has better acting from most of the main cast, Carlos Villarias' performance as Dracula is sufficiently narm-y and hilarious in spots. one notable example is his version of the scene where Van Helsing flashes the Cross at him.
• Van Helsing in the novel has many due to his unusual mannerisms:
  Jonathan Harker: "I am satified that Lucy;s body is not in that coffin; but only proves one thing."
  Van Helsing: "and what is that, friend John?"
  Harker: "That it is not there."
  Van Helsing: "That is good logic, so far as it goes."
  
• This exchange between Martin and Renfield in the 1931 film:
  Martin: Ain't you ashamed now? Ain't you? Spiders now, is it? Flies ain't good enough!
  Renfield: Flies? Flies?! Poor puny things! Who wants to eat flies?!
  Martin: You do, ya loony!
  Renfield: Not when I can get nice fat spiders!
  Martin: All right, have it your own way.
