* [[Dracula]]: Subverted, as Molasar claims he'd merely ''worked'' for the historical Dracula. {{spoiler|And he's lying about that.}}

* [[Enemy of My Enemy]]: Molasar convinces Prof. Cuza they [[Those Wacky Nazis|have a common enemy]]. That, or Cuza just assumes it and Molasar plays along to gain his trust. {{spoiler|In either case he's lying outright and is [[Complete Monster|worse than the Nazis]].}}

Line 33:

* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: {{spoiler|In the novel, Molasar's surname is actually "Rasalom" backwards. Again, no word on whether this also applies to his given first name, Radu, in which case his ''really'' real name would be "Udar Rasalom."}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: The books found inside the keep's walls are [[Tome of Eldritch Lore|standard occult reference-works]] of the [[Cthulhu Mythos]].

* [[Spared By the Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|It's heavily implied Cuza dies in the novel, but the movie lets him survive, albeit returned to his aged, decrepit state. Similarly, in the novel Glaeken kills the two Romanian border guards but in the movie he just intimidates them into getting out of his way.}}
