    Quotes:

    • Dracula: I have crossed oceans of time to find you.
       
    • Lord Arthur Holmwood: Last week he wanted to marry her. Now he wants to have her committed.
       
    • Jonathan Harker: The Count, the way he looked at Mina's picture fills me with dread. As if I have a part to play in a story that is not known to me.
       
    • Dracula: I condemn you to living death. To eternal hunger for living blood!
       
    • Van Helsing: She lives beyond the grace of God. She is "vampyr", "nosferatu". These creatures do not die like the bee after a first sting, but instead grow strong once infected by another nosferatu. My friends we fight not one beast but legions living age after age after age, feeding off of the blood of the living.
       

    Trivia:

    • Winona Ryder saw the script when it was originally going to be made as a TV movie, directed by Michael Apted. She took the script to Francis Ford Coppola, whom she had not spoken to since withdrawing from The Godfather: Part III [1990] due to exhaustion six months earlier. Coppola agreed to make the film, and Apted stayed on as executive producer.
       
    • Red Jelly was used for the blood.
       
    • Among the moving-picture displays in the scene where the prince and Mina first converse is a shadow-figure show depicting the battle between Vlad's army and the Turks.
       
    • This film is very similar in story and shots to Nosferatu.
       
    • When Mina recalls her previous life as Elisabeta she says she remembers a land beyond a great forest. "Land beyond the forest" is the literal meaning of Transylvania.
