The opening scenes with Van Helsing take place 100 years before the story begins, so 1887. The events of Dracula are accepted as having occurred in 1897. So either Van Helsing didn't get sucked into the portal, took part in the book's events, and hung around for 90 more years to pull Dracula into the vortex at the end of the film (unlikely). OR he did get sucked into the vortex, and came back out to drag Dracula in, but that means he could not have taken part in Bram Stoker's novel. [Dracula is a myth. If the movie takes place in 1887, then Dracula was alive in 1887.]

In the mansion, the boys open a secret passage and fall through the floor. They scream after shining a flashlight on a skeleton. Eugene then can be heard whining that he wants to go home, but his mouth is not moving. See more...

They make a big scene that a virgin is needed to read the text from Van Helsing's diary in order to get rid of the monsters. After Patrick's sister fails because it turns out she isn't a virgin, everyone freaks out until they realize Phoebe could help them out. Not once is it mentioned the virgin had to be a female. So why couldn't the 12 year old boys read from the diary and get rid of the monsters? [First: 4 out of 5 definitions listed for "virgin" refer to females.
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/virgin Second: In all of mythology and folklore, virgin always refers to females. The gods asked for a virgin to be sacrificed, the women/girls were gathered not the people that have never had sex. When some bit of folklore needs to be read aloud by a virgin, odds are they are asking for a girl.]
