| Trivia | The character of Jessica Van Helsing was originally written to be the daughter of Professor Van Helsing. However, the death of Peter Cushing's wife aged him considerably, so the script was quickly re-written to make him Jessica's grandfather. See more » |
| Goofs | Jessica removes the book "A Treatise on the Black Mass" from her grandfather's library. A few minutes later her grandfather returns the book to its place on the shelf, only now almost all of the other surrounding book titles have changed. See more » |
