Notes & Trivia[]
- This episode is included on the Drak Pack: The Complete Series DVD collection by Visual Entertainment.
- Dracula is loosely based on the historical figure, Vlad III, also known as Vlad the Impaler, and re-imagined by author Bram Stoker as a vampire for his 1897 novel Dracula.
- The concept of the Frankenstein Monster was created by English writer Mary Shelley and was first brought to life in her 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.
- The concept of Howler plays on the classical notions of a werewolf. This idea was popularized by actor Lon Chaney, Jr. in the 1941 film The Wolf Man by Universal Pictures.
