* FeetFirstIntroduction: Sort of. When Jonathan comes into their chambers and they coax him to lay down. We see invisible footprints form on the bed making their way to him.

* TheChick: To the vampire hunters, as she keeps the group united into stopping Dracula.

* DaywalkingVampire: He's able to go out of his coffin during the day, but his powers are limited.

* DistressedDamsel: Subverted. The heroes certainly think she is this, but she doesn't want to be "saved" from Dracula and is actually the only character never in any danger from him, being his LoveInterest.
* FlowerMotifs: Mina and [[spoiler:Elisabeta's]] gowns have leaf designs embroidered on them, seemingly rosemary which were symbolic of love and faithfulness as well as mourning and death.

* LettingHerHairDown: At her dinner with Dracula she wears her hair loose rather than the [[PrimAndProperBun Prim And Proper Bun]] she usually wears in public and around men, according to the customs of the time, hinting at her sexual attraction to him.

* ReincarnationRomance: Mina is the reincarnation of Vlad's wife Elisabeta.

* BerserkButton: When the brides kill his and Mina's horses, he is so outraged that the next day he coldly walks into Dracula's castle while they're asleep, kills them, and tosses their heads into the river.

* GhostlyGlide: He is shown moving in this way several times.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: When Mina is licking his blood from a wound on his chest.

* AdaptationalVillainy: To compliment Dracula's AdaptationalHeroism, of course. While Van Helsing is still one of the good guys, he's repeatedly shown to be obnoxious, brash, insensitive, and seemingly more interested in killing Dracula to prove that he can, rather than out of any real desire to protect people.

* AdaptationalVillainy: With Dracula as the far more sympathetic figure in this work, The Brides suck up the wickedness in his place, presented as far more monstrous then the TragicVillain Count himself.
