* BigBraToFill: Creator/TalisaSoto isn't as busty as Vampirella is typically drawn. Reportedly, Creator/JulieStrain (who was Vampirella's official model at the time) had originally been primed for the role, which would have averted this, but the director was overruled by ExecutiveMeddling.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Discussed when Vampirella draws a distinction between herself and the evil vampires stuck on Earth. Due to being away from their homeworld Drakulon for so long, they've become a mutant substrain whose bite infects rather than kills victims and are also vulnerable to the traditional vampire weaknesses.

* DistractedByTheSexy: When Adam van Helsing comes home, an evil vampiress is reclining on his settee and shows her naked breasts. It's the last what he sees for a while because a second one gives him a TapOnTheHead. Subverted in the sense that the action probably wasn't needed for ''that'' goal.
