There are different types of monsters: zombies, ghosts, skeletons, mummies, witches, and other creatures. Some have scary features such as large eyes, sharp fangs and long arms.

Characters often fight each other. We see kicking, punching, slapping, and biting. In a few scenes, characters throw or smash objects, sometimes at other characters. In one scene, a terrifying kraken fights with Dracula and his friends.
We see Dracula and another character dodge various dangerous traps. Dracula has an axe impaled into the top of his head and arrows in his back. He doesn’t appear to be hurt.
Dracula thwarts all of the Van Helsing family’s attempts to kill him, either accidentally or intentionally. This is mainly comedic.
