Trivia:
|
- Red Jelly was used for the blood.
- 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.
- Mina walks past an advertisement for the Lyceum Theatre and Henry Irving. Dracula author Bram Stoker managed the Lyceum, and Sir Henry Irving is rumored to be one of the primary inspirations for the character of Count Dracula.
- The horses pulling Dracula's carriage (when Johnathen Harker is taken to Dracula's castle) move in slow motion, probably a reference to Nosferatu‚ eine Symphonie des Grauens in which Count Orlock's carriage moves in fast motion.
- Anthony Hopkins also plays Cesare, the priest who tells Dracula that Elisabeta's soul is damned; and he provides the voice-over sequence during the narrative for the Captain of the Demeter.
