8	----
9	!!Tropes:
10
11	* AllThereInTheScript: The doctor's name is Wehunt according to the credits.
12	* BolivianArmyEnding: The short ends with the group managing to kill Dracula and escape...only to stumble into an entire nest of more vampires.
13	* CompressedAdaptation: A whole lot of the backstory is outright cut without a mention and only the action-packed elements of the original story remain. Ironically, the source material is the longest of all adapted stories.
14	* CunningLinguist: One of the team members is skilled in ancient languages.
15	* {{Dracula}}: The monster is explicitly stated to be ''the'' Dracula, although he doesn't look like the ClassicalMovieVampire.
16	* DramaticAmmoDepletion: Flynn's gun runs out of ammo while he's fighting Dracula. Not that the gun was really helping.
17	* DramaticChaseOpening: The story opens with two characters being chased down a tunnel.
18	* GenderBlenderName: Gary is a girl.
19	* GroinAttack: Gary shoots off Dracula's dick with a shotgun just because she thinks it's funny. The monster then screeches in a [[InstantSoprano high-pitched tone.]]
20	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: At the end, Doctor Wehunt is explaining that their escape tunnel leads to more prison cells, probably cells for more... then he trails off as he realizes what's likely to be there.
21	* FantasticallyIndifferent: The mercs don't seem to be phased at all they are not only facing a real vampire, but Dracula himself.
22	* FullFrontalAssault: Dracula's genitals are readily apparent when he first shows up, and towards the end of the episode he gets shot there. It regenerates but is apparently painful.
23	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Dracula perfectly slices a victim in half, lengthwise.
24	* HighPressureBlood: Dracula's kill of the assistant results in a fountain of blood spraying and covering Flynn and Dr. Wehunt.
25	* HowWeGotHere: The episode opens with two characters [[DramaticChaseOpening running from something]]. We then cut back to see how they ended up in their predicament.
26	* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: When cornered by Dracula, Flynn demands Dr. Wehunt tells them what to do, to which the doctor responds that he's an archeologist, not a strategist. Flynn responds with that he's a mercenary, not Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but he's not whining about it either.
27	* HealingFactor: Bullets do damage Dracula, but he regenerates so fast that a single bullet has practically no effect against him. The fire from 2 fully automatic military rifles is enough to pin him down since even he can't regenerate faster than a rain of bullets, and he even seems to feel some pain when he is shot between the legs. However, when the mercenaries hold their fire, Dracula immediately regenerates and starts to hunt them again. As a matter of fact, a heavy wooden door slowed him down longer than the firearms.
28	* MadBomber: Gary practically giggles at getting an excuse to use the C4 she brought.
29	* MatchlightDangerRevelation: In this case lighting a road flare reveals more CeilingCling vampires.
30	* NearMissGroinAttack: Dr. Wenhut just misses having his groin impaled by a broken stalactite.
31	* OhCrap:
32	** Flynn, Wehunt, and the assistant when Dracula first emerges.
33	** Dracula himself when he realizes he's about to get a face full of C4.
34	** The group when they realize that they simply escaped into a vampire nest.
35	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Dracula appears at first as a giant, emaciated man, but after feeding rapidly turns into a monstrous bear-like entity.
36	* OutOfTheFryingPan: The team escapes Dracula and even kills him, only to find themselves cornered by a whole nest of vampires.
37	* OutrunTheFireball: The team has to outrun the blast from Gary's C4; dialogue implies this is not the first time this has happened.
38	* PunchClockHero: The mercenary boss doesn't really care one way or the other about Dr. Wehunt's discovery. When asked if he could at least ''pretend'' to be excited, he draws a comparison between mercenaries and prostitutes: Acting like they're having fun costs ''extra.''
39	* RealityHasNoSubtitles: Dracula speaks purely in Romanian, which is not translated by the subtitles. Dr. Wehunt translates Dracula calling Flynn a warrior, but Dracula's dialogue before noticing the C4 is untranslated.
40	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Dracula has red eyes and it means no good thing.
41	* ShoutOut: Flynn mentions ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
42	* ShownTheirWork: The depiction of Dracula is actually pretty accurate to [[Literature/{{Dracula}} the Bram Stoker novel]].
43	** His physical appearance may not be as attractive as the Creator/BelaLugosi-inspired look he usually has, but does resemble the book's description of a mustachioed old man.
44	** While he is far more bestial in attitude than he is in most of his appearances, the book did make a point of Dracula having a "criminal mindset", a [[ValuesDissonance Victorian idea of criminals having less developed brains than decent folk.]]
45	* StrippedToTheBone:
46	** The research assistant Dracula slices in half falls apart in layers.
47	** Happens to Dracula courtesy of Gary's C4.
48	* ThatCameOutWrong: Flynn keeps making accidental innuendo while trying to get the other mercs to understand the seriousness of the situation, which Gary, to his frustration, constantly focuses on rather than the giant Dracula trying to kill them all.
49	* WeaksauceWeakness: Dracula's weakness is cats.
50	* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: The last words spoken by Flynn when he realizes they stumbled upon a nest of vampires.
