Suggested correction: The stains are only at the top end of the blade. We don't see the blood because the part is embedded in her.

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Mina bites the attacker at Dorian Gray's house for the first time there's blood all over her face, but after she bites him the second time it's gone before she had a chance to wipe it off (even that wouldn't have removed the blood so completely). (00:28:25)
