Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed in Wales despite the 'Transylvanian' setting—local schools doubled for Stokely Grammar. The castle was actually a crumbling manor house with excellent gothic lighting.
Aired alongside early Twilight mania, offering British kids a funnier, less romanticized vampire alternative. Gerran Howell reportedly based Vlad's awkwardness on his own comprehensive school nightmares.
