* ArtisticLicenseLinguistics: When discussing UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler, she refers to him as Vlad Țepeș, as though that were his full name. "Vlad Țepeș" is Romanian for Vlad the Impaler; his proper title was Vlad III Drăculea, meaning son of Dracul.

** Maven interprets Guy Maddin's ''Dracula'' film as chockful of alternate character interpretation: Jonathan and and Lucy's suitors are jealous of their respective love interests' interest in the foreigner (Dracula); Van Helsing is a DirtyOldMan who reads Lucy's private diary and sniffs women's undergarments, etc.

* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory[[invoked]]: Elisa believes that vampires are metaphors for sex, death, and real-world social issues, whether authors realize/intend it or not. Whether an author is self-aware and utilizes it can make the difference between a memorable work that makes a meaningful commentary about society, the human condition, or both; or if it becomes a confused, [[SoOkayItsAverage forgettable]] mess.

* {{Expy}} The Maven's not too dissimilar to the SNL skit "Goth Talk" character Circe Nightshade as played by Molly Shannon--except more vampire-focused.

Added DiffLines:

* ForeignFanservice: According to her interpretation of Guy Maddin's stage-to-screen adaptation of the ''Dracula'' ballet, Maddin sees Dracula as a symbol for Lucy's sexual awakening, who feels more drawn to the foreigner that to the proper British gentleman pursuing her romantically/sexually. This becomes an EnforcedTrope, when revivals of the production [[RaceLift cast a person of colour]] in the role of Dracula, while slotting white actors on the other roles, to highlight Dracula's "foreigness" and "exoticness".

** She notes this is a largely unexplored element of ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}'' as while Alucard is the embodiment of RuleOfCool mixed with an EscapistCharacter, he is also a figure who is suffering from a curse that makes him a DeathSeeker.
