Quotes
Simon Sheppard:
[Translating Slavic text on a crossbow]
"All fear he who walks beneath the crown of Eternal Night."
Abraham Van Helsing:
No, no, no, no, it's not crown, it's halo; beneath the Halo of Eternal Night
Simon Sheppard:
Oh, well, you see why the design never survived. And look how heavy it is compared to what they were using in England at the time.
Abraham Van Helsing:
[talking about the crossbow in his hands]
Ah, while the English made them for firing arrow shafts of wood, this was made for firing metal... silver.

Crazy Credits

I love Jonny Lee Miller and enjoyed this. I've read a lot of vampire/Gothic novels - Anne Rice, Christine Feehan and Amanda Ashley-just a couple of good authors, so I enjoy some vampire stuff once in a while. I won't hold this up as Brilliant but it's fun to watch and Jonny and the cast do a good job with the genre. I'm looking forward to finding Dracula II to watch, this has another actor I like, Jason London, so more to watch yet. Anyone looking for books of the genre see the authors above and if you like TV vampire try Kindred: the embraced, great show that ended too quickly because the main actor died riding his motorcycle and he was a good actor.
