The movie had everything, --- adventure, romance, fascinating historical background, beautiful scenery, great story line and acting, delciously occult... ;) I DID notice that Velkan is almost as gorgeous as Van Helsing. Lol. The actor who played Velkan was a former ballet dancer, which is probably why he peformed such a stunning transformation of a werewolf, crawling all over the floor so wonderfully and convincingly.

Van Helsing: Dracula's Masked All Hallows Ball...

Location of Dracula’s Masquerade Ball in Van Helsing... In the 2004 film Van Helsing, the Count Dracula’s masquerade ball scene — set on All Hallow’s Eve — was filmed at Kunratice Chateau, K Libusi, Kunratice (Kunratice U Prahy), on the outskirts of southern Prague, Czech Republic Worldwide Guide To Movie Locations >>> . This site was used as the “Transylvanian” village backdrop for the ball, with the chateau and surrounding area dressed to resemble a gothic Transylvanian estate. The production built elaborate sets there to represent Dracula’s lavish ballroom and grounds, even though the actual filming took place in Prague Worldwide Guide To Movie Locations >>> . While the ball’s setting is fictional, the choice of Kunratice Chateau gave the filmmakers a real-world location with the gothic architecture and open space needed for the scene. Today, the site has been redeveloped into shops and a car park, so it’s no longer in its original filming state Worldwide Guide To Movie Locations >>> . If you’re visiting Prague, you can still see the Old Town Square and Malá Strana area, which were also used for other Van Helsing locations, but the specific ball scene was shot at Kunratice Chateau.

I Love My Cat... ;)

I Love My Cat... I love my cat... I love his plush sleek little self. He's so fun to hug. I love his furry little face with it's pokey whiskers. I love his brilliant firefly-yellow eyes. I love his lethal hooked black claws, like mini scythes, and his little "thumbs". I love his delicate triangle ears. I love his cool silky wet nose. I love his little trills and chirps. I love the way he always knows when I'm sad and he wants to comfort me, even when he doesn't understand why I'm upset. I love the way he's always there for me. He's seen it all, and he's not telling anybody because he's a cat, and he doesn't speak English. He likes to chew on my fingers. He would make not-such- a-good-human, which is one of the reasons why he makes such a good cat." --- Copyright 2022, by Sorelle Sucere.
