In the millenium version of this classic Gothic horror we find Abraham Van Helsing (Plummer), who has tangled with Count Dracula (Butler) in the past, working as an English antiques dealer.

Count Dracula is an iconic monster, appearing in numerous movies and TV shows. Based on Vlad the Impaler, the vampire is well recognized by his fangs, cloak, piercing gaze, and castle in Transylvania.

King of kooky, off-color vampire movies, Jesús Franco, did it back when he affixed Christopher Lee with a dramatic handlebar mustache in Count Dracula.
