* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Much of the humour is derived from the trope. Count Von Krolock knows Abronsius suspects he is a vampire, so he plays along and acts as a gracious host to both, until he takes off the façade in "Sie irren, Professor!".

Fan-projects are abundant with this musical right now. A Website/LiveJournal user is translating the songs from the show into Spanish ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHJV5O6YSog here]] is the Spanish version of "Totale Finsternis") and there are a few tracks existing from ''Dança dos Vampiros'', an amateur Portuguese performance put together by a group of fans. There are also a couple clips from a pre-actual-production Hungarian fan album floating about the Internet. Suggestions have been made for various translations or fan recordings, but nothing other than these have yet come out of it.

* AccentAdaptation: Michael Crawford's version of Graf Von Krolock gives him something of an Italian accent. In every other adaptation, the character simply talks in the language of the country where that version is produced, e.g., Polish in the Polish version, German in the Austrian/German ones, Japanese in the Japanese ones, etc.

** Some Krolocks do this when their vampiric side emerge over the ByronicHero side. It may occur as early as ''Die unstillbare Gier''. For example, you can compare Drew Sarich's darkly amused, "Are you ready?" upon siccing a ballroom's worth of undead upon the humans, to Mark Seibert completely dropping the "mafia boss" facade in favor of animalistic snarling. [[note]]The analogy is from the actor himself.[[/note]]
