History Film / DraculasDaughter

* ZipMeUp: A relatively rare male example, but it's obviously flirtatious each time Janet ties Jeffrey's tie.

* AbortedArc: Von/Van Helsing's arrest and trial are forgotten by the end of the movie when he follows Garth to Transylvania. Its likely that with Dracula's body missing and the Inspector having seen evidence he was telling the truth the charges against him were dropped off-screen.

* {{Flanderization}}: In the first film, Van/Von Helsing told everyone that Dracula was a vampire when the circumstances left no other explanation, and acknowledged that the things he knew about the supernatural were things the world was better off not knowing. In this movie, he just expects everyone to believe him about vampires.

* VampireVannabe: Sandor is only with Marya because he wishes to become a vampire, and isn't happy when she wants to escape the shackles of undeath or choose another man instead.

* {{Uberwald}}: The film's version of Transylvania is this as per usual.

* CompositeCharacter: Dr. Jeffery Garth takes elements of Dr. John Seward's book role as a young doctor who is a former student of Van Helsing---pardon, ''Von'' Helsing.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The opening minutes and subsequent trial of Van Helsing, with regards to the events of the previous movie. His story sounds insane, there's no actual evidence to back it up (and Marya destroys what evidence there might've been anyway), and the police were never involved in the preceding events. To an outside observer, it looks less like Van Helsing rid the world of a force of evil and more like he broke in and murdered two men. Naturally, he's arrested and put on trial for it.

* SassySecretary: Janet, who does stuff like go to Scotland to fetch Jeffrey to come back and help Von Helsing. When he balks she says "I'm in no mood for an argument!" In another scene she prank calls him. He points out that she takes "liberties" that a regular secretary wouldn't because she's a baroness's daughter.

The film [[ImmediateSequel starts where the last one left off]]. Two constables stumble upon the corpses of Renfield and Count Dracula. They also meet Professor Von Helsing (Edward Van Sloan), who tells them what has happened. Baffled by his [[CassandraTruth crazy story]], they call UsefulNotes/ScotlandYard for help. Threatened with either execution or the madhouse, Von Helsing sends for an old student of his, psychiatrist Dr. Jeffrey Garth (Otto Kruger), to help him clear himself.
