All of those versions of Van Helsing are old fogeys though, unsuitable for today’s MTV generation. Even Mel Brooks has picked up the mantle of the vampire killer. From Edward Van Sloan in the popular Universal Dracula, to Laurence Olivier and Peter Cushing in the old Hammer Productions, to Anthony Hopkins more recently. The character of Van Helsing has been portrayed by quite a few notable actors over the years. With Van Helsing, Sommers pays tribute to the other Universal monsters in another cheesy summer popcorn flick. Stephen Sommers already showed his love for The Mummy inhis 1999 remake.
No one can truly declare themselves a lover of film without some level of appreciation of the classic Universal monster movies: Dracula, the Wolfman, Frankenstein, the Mummy, and so on.
