* DoomedByCanon: Clemens ends the movie pledging to hunt down Dracula. Since he's a CanonForeigner and there was no mention in the book of anyone else pursuing Dracula outside of our protagonists, we know Clemens' quest is doomed to failure.

* PragmaticAdaptation: Despite being based on Stoker's work, in this movie Dracula and his thralls are killed by the sun, while in the book the sun merely took away his powers. However, the weakness to the sun has become such an integral part of vampire lore in pop culture that it would have been weird for modern audiences not to see it, so the sun kills vampires here. Similarly, the weakness to crosses tends to be left out of non-christian themed adaptations, so crosses are not particularly effective here.

** [[spoiler: Was Dracula acting frail around Petrofsky strictly a WoundedGazelleGambit? Or was he actually weak from going too long without feeding on Anna? He does act somewhat sickly the first few times we glimpse him (when there's no one around to fool if it were indeed an act), while he doesn't act sluggish at all in later encounters, suggesting Petrofsky's human blood may have revitalized him]].
