I wonder if the trope All In The Eyes has something to do with Hargood, Paxton, and Secker looking at Dracula while they were dying. Or does it?

Three gentlemen, Hargood, Paxton and Secker, are bored by their usual hedonistic gatherings involving opium and prostitutes. In a bid to try something new, they agree to attend a ceremony to resurrect Dracula held by young Courtley, a known practitioner of black arts. The ceremony is botched at a key moment when the three refuse to taste the blood of Dracula, and Courtley dies by drinking it himself as the gentlemen flee the premises. Dracula's resurrection is however still a success, and he vows to take revenge for the death of his servant.

* MoreThanMindControl: Dracula's hypnosis may seem like a reasonable enough catalyst for Alice to kill her own father, but given Hargood's abuse, it's safe to assume she felt the urge to do that anyway, and the hypnosis just brought those urges out. [[TruthInTelevision Much like real-life hypnosis]].
