    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Stephen Sommers deliberately chose to avoid the style of transformations from other werewolf films, where the character would usually grow hair as part of the change. Instead the decision was made to have the character rip his skin off to reveal the werewolf form underneath, going with the idea that the beast "comes from within".
    • Goofs
      In the opening scene in Paris, when Van Helsing picks up the wanted poster,the Eiffel tower is seen in the background only half built, however, when on the roof of the Cathedral, while Hyde is holding Van Helsing up, the tower can be seen fully built behind them.
    • Quotes
      • Aleera: Anna, my love. It is your blood that shall keep me beautiful. What do you think of that?
      • [laughs triumphantly, then screams as Anna catches a silver stake and impales her through the chest]
      • Anna Valerious: I think if you're going to kill somebody, kill them! Don't stand around talking about it!
    • Crazy credits
      The Universal logo turns black and white, then catches on fire, fading into a torch carried by an angry villager.

      Featured in The Phantom of the Opera Horror Make-Up Show (1990)
