Dracula

Trivia: When Mina meets Dracula on the street, after she first rebuffs him, she walks past a sandwich board advertising a play with Henry Irving at the Lyceum Theatre. For many years, Bram Stoker worked as the business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, which was run by Irving. The famous stage actor is widely believed to be one of Stoker's inspirations for Count Dracula. (00:46:30)

Catwalk

Trivia: This movie is filled with scenes showing how the laws of nature do not work correctly when in the presence of a vampire, such as liquid dripping upward, shadows moving on their own accord, etc. A more subtle example is the scenes where Dracula is standing outside the large French doors to Lucy's bedroom: When other people walk through the doorway or stand in front of the glass doors, there is a considerable height difference between their heads and the door frame, but when Dracula is standing outside her bedroom, he almost reaches the top of the door frame. (00:58:00 - 01:19:50)

Catwalk

Trivia: When Dracula is assisting a frightened Jonathan with his shaving, if you look behind them, you can see that the walls of the room are moving inward, producing a claustrophobic effect. (00:28:00)

Catwalk

Trivia: When Dracula calms the escaped wolf, he says "Strigoi! Moroi!", both of which are vampire creatures from Romanian folklore. (00:53:25)
