Trivia:
|
- Earnings from the film was enough to save Zoetrope (Francis Ford Coppola's studio) from bankruptcy after suffering from financial difficulties and liabilities of $27 million over the past 3 years.
- 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 due to exhaustion six months earlier. Coppola agreed to make the film, and Apted stayed on as executive producer.
- This film is very similar in story and shots to Nosferatu.
- 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.
