This Slide Of Paradise - S3-E25
Trivia: In this episode, the group land on an island with hybrids who are half man and half animal, similar to "The Island of Dr. Moreau." This episode also features Michael York who starred in the 1977 film "The Island of Dr. Moreau." In the film, York plays Andrew Braddock who lands on the island after a boat wreck. In the episode, Quinn says they swam ashore after their boat capsized.
Trivia: The name of the vampires' band is "Stoker", also the title of the episode. This is a reference to Bram Stoker who wrote "Dracula."

When Quinn mentions the vampire Dracula to Van Elsinger, he says he's never heard of him.
Trivia: This episode was filmed prior to John Rhys-Davies leaving the show. But it ended up being aired after "The Exodus", where Rhys-Davies' character is killed off. So they added the short intro scene with Wade and Rembrandt reflecting on a past slide to the underground world, making this a flashback episode.
