Van Helsing/Universal Monsters

Professor Van Helsing, also spelled "Von Helsing", is a fictional occult scholar and a key figure in the original 1897 Dracula novel by author Bram Stoker. The character appeared as a foil to the infamous vampire in Universal Pictures' 1931 classic, Dracula, where he was played by actor Edward Van Sloan. In George Melford's Spanish iteration of Drácula, the role of Van Helsing was played by Eduardo Arozamena. Van Sloan reprised the role of Van Helsing for the original film's 1936 sequel, Dracula's Daughter.
