Horror
Two monsters have terrifying appearances. They grow larger in size as the film progresses. They have red eyes, sharp teeth, and claws. When in fits of rage, they often let out a loud roar. In some scenes, we see both monsters wreaking havoc.
A character undergoes a horrifying transformation – we see him grow talons, claws, fangs, and his body morph into a dragon-like monster.
There are different types of monsters: zombies, ghosts, skeletons, mummies, and other creatures.
Violence
Characters often punch and slap each other. In a few scenes, characters throw or smash objects, sometimes at other characters. In one scene, a terrifying large monster tries to attack Dracula and his friends.
Nudity
One character who turns into a human is mostly naked, but we only see their butt. We don’t see any further nudity as it’s mostly covered by objects and later an apron.
