Did You Know?

Trivia

The scene where Dracula lifts Phoebe up and she screams was done in one take. Duncan Regehr wouldn't wear his red contacts or fangs around the five year old Ashley Bank because it scared her too much. For the scene, director Fred Dekker just told Ashley to scream once the platform raised her. When she asked, "When?", Dekker told her, "Oh, you'll know," and proceeded to shoot. The terrified scream you hear when Dracula opens his eyes is Ashley's genuine scream of fright.

Goofs

The movie opens on a scene of Dracula's castle in Transylvania. As the camera slowly pans, it shows two animals eating off the floor which are clearly nine-banded armadillos. These are found in the southern United States and Cenral America, not Transylvania. Maybe the director thought they looked like big rats? Not so much.



A few minutes later the vampire hunters confront a female vampire sucking the blood from what is clearly a Virginia Opossum. Again, not found in Transylvania.
