- TriviaAfter defeating Dracula and watching the castle crumble, the credits roll. Instead of traditional credits, the names are slight alterations of fames horror celebrities including: Terence Fisher (displayed as: Trans Fishers) Bram Stoker (Vran Stoker) Christoper Lee (Christopher Bee) Bela Lugosi (Belo Lugosi) Boris Karloff (Boris Karloffice) Lon Chaney (Love Chaney) Lon Chaney Jr (Love Chaney, Jr.) Barbara Shelley (Barber Sherry) Max Schreck (Max Schrecks) Glenn Strange (Green Stranger) Andre Morell (Andre Moral) John Carradine (John Candy)
- GoofsThe hero Simon's last name is spelled "Belmondo" in the end credits. In all subsequent games it is changed to Belmont in the United States. In Japan, the last name is kept as Berumondo, which is the transliteration of Belmondo.
- Crazy creditsScreenplay: Vram Stoker instead of Bram Stoker Dracula: Christopher Bee
- Alternate versionsThere were two initial versions of Akumajô Dracula released in 1987: a Famicom Disk System version and an MSX version. The original Famicom version is a more action-oriented game, where the player can acquired power-ups to enemies and can clear stages by simply going from point A to point B. On the other hand, the MSX version is more of an exploration game, requiring player to find keys to clear stages and having to purchase their power-ups from merchants. The level designs and some of the enemies are different as well. The MSX version uses the same sprites as the Famicom version (with more colors), but with different backgrounds. In Europe, the MSX version was released as "Vampire Killer" and most people often erronously believed that it was made first due to the later copyright date in the localized NES version (Castlevania).
