- Spoiler follows:
-
- In a scene that serves to ease dramatic tension before the climax of
- the movie, Count Dracula and Van Helsing participate in an impromptu
- toilet-sculpting contest. Each participant is given a four-foot-high
- block of marble and a chisel. Within an hour, Dracula's toilet is
- finished, a truly gothic monstrosity of a crapper, replete with
- screaming demons, screaming spirits, and screaming meemies. Van
- Helsing, by contrast, takes two full days to complete his toilet,
- pausing neither to eat nor sleep. Unfortunately, the result of
- his exertions stresses function over form, and is judged unutterably
- banal by the passersby.
