History Series / VanHelsing2016

* WorstAid: in typical Hollywood childbirth style. When the young woman in Eden gives birth, Sarah cuts the cord immediately. Cutting the cord before it stops pulsing (i.e. the blood flow has stopped) can deprive the baby of up to a third of its full blood capacity, making them more vulnerable to anaemia and other nastiness. This is possibly justified in-universe by either Sarah not being educated on Best Practice, the threat of infection to the mother (she did deliver in a greenhouse, after all), or simply the fact that there are nefarious plans for Eden infants.

** Sam's dad beat him with a cane and hit him on the sides of his head that he went deaf.

* AbusiveParents: Susan's dad sexually molested her as a kid and then threw her out after she tried to tell her mother about it. She is actually overjoyed when he turns out to have been turned during her absence, as it allows her to kill him without any guilt.

* LesCollaborateurs: In exchange for being left alone, Micah and his followers at Eden signed a treaty with Magdalene promising her a regular supply of blood. [[spoiler:Unbeknownst to the others, Magdalene was Micah's wife, and he was also slipping her the occasional newborn, who she gave to Julius as a delicacy.]]
** Numerous humans also serve the vampires in return for being left alive. They can generally be identified by red bands around their arms. [[MadDoctor Dr. Sholomenko]] is one prominent example, working with the vampires to find a way for them to procreate.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: A single bite can turn a regular human into a vampire within seconds. There are roughly two main types: ferals, which are more like zombies than vampires; and feeders, which are more intelligent. It's implied that a vampire might become feral if it isn't able to feed soon enough. They do have a HealingFactor but can be killed by conventional weapons.
