comment
Van Helsing is an American-Canadian television series created by Neil LaBute and starring Kelly Overton. The show is inspired by the Zenescope Entertainment graphic novel series, Helsing, itself loosely based on the character of Abraham Van Helsing from Bram Stoker's Dracula. It first premiered on September 23, 2016 and can be seen on Syfy in the U.S and Netflix in Canada and the United States.In the wake of a catastrophic volcano eruption, most of the United States becomes blanketed in ash, blocking out the sun and allowing vampires to run free. However, the sudden resurrection of Vanessa Helsing, who has miraculous healing abilities and whose blood can reverse vampirism, offers a hope of resistance. Together with a group of survivors, she tries to make her way through a post-apocalyptic wasteland and find her missing daughter.Bears no connection to the 2004 film of the same name other than both of them drawing some inspiration from Dracula.In December 2019, Syfy renewed the show for a fifth and final season, which premiered on April 16, 2021.

Psychological Torment Zone
 Van Helsing (2016) / int_105d50b1
comment
Psychological Torment Zone: A non-paranormal example (probably) in "Outside World". Vanessa, stuck impaled on a hook and chain, spends the whole episode being visited by visions of loved ones and enemies playing Good Angel, Bad Angel, either reminding her of the good she's done, or mocking her that the horrible things she's also done have left her no better than the vampires. A definite supernatural one appears in "The Doorway", where Vanessa is trapped in a part of the Dark Realm where she's forced to relive the memories of all the loved ones she failed to save. It ultimately turns out to be an Epiphanic Prison that she's only able to leave after learning to accept her own inner darkness.

Man Bites Man: Vanessa adopts this tactic against vampires, as her transformation ability works when she's bitten or when she bites them. It can either turn them human or kill them, but either way they're out of the fight. Also, feeding on human blood gives her an energy boost.

Senseless Sacrifice: In the Season 3 finale, Scarlett gives her life to try and fuel Vanessa's light so that she can become the Fourth Elder and thus prevent Sam from taking the role. It doesn't work; the Oracle tells Vanessa that she already gave up any hope of becoming the light when she killed Dylan, and thus Sam becomes the Fourth Elder anyway.

Numerous humans also serve the vampires in return for being left alive. They can generally be identified by red bands around their arms. Dr. Sholomenko is one prominent example, working with the vampires to find a way for them to procreate.

Bittersweet Ending
 Van Helsing (2016) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: The series ends this way, leaning more towards sweet than bitter. On the down side, Vanessa has gone into another coma to trap the Dark One in her body, and Ivory leaves Jack to hunt down other surviving Sisterhood members. On the much brighter side, however, all vampires appear to have been made human again, allowing society to safely rebuild; Olivia has been freed from centuries as the Dark One's host and is being helped to adjust by Jack and Violet; Ivory promises Jack she'll return; and Vanessa's mind is reunited in an apparent afterlife with Dylan and Susan.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: In season 3, Scarlett has been stuck on an island for twenty-seven days and her attempts to create a makeshift boat to escape are Epic Fail to say the least. While mulling over her options at the lighthouse, she looks under the bed for something...and discovers she's been literally sleeping on top of a life raft with oars this entire time.

Sealed Evil in a Can: Long ago, the Van Helsings locked the First Elder, Abbadon, away in a crypt hidden within a mountain. The Dark One, the original vampire, was sealed in tomb in a shadow realm by Abraham Van Helsing, which can only be accessed by someone with Van Helsing blood (or a ritual using their spilled blood). The Third Elder, Jacob Van Helsing, was locked inside a cage in a sealed building hidden on a remote island.

In "Big Mama", Axel, Scarlet, Doc, and Julius become guests of a group of survivors and find out they are catching and eating vampires. The survivors take a tied up vampire and give her a Lobotomy with a power drill and then throw her in an oven while still alive. Julius is so horrified that he opens the oven and slits the vampire's throat.

And he spreads it to anyone else he turns ultimately including Ivory and Scab. The Elders, the Brides, and the Dark One seem to be immune to the effects of sunlight.

 Van Helsing (2016) / int_5a4aa505
comment
Government Conspiracy: It's implied that the government knew about the vampires prior to the Rising, due to how rapidly Axel's squad was sent to retrieve Vanessa. This is confirmed in Season 2, as it's revealed that Vanessa's mother was involved with a secret project to study and experiment on vampires, which is still ongoing even though the government is now gone. Season 3 reveals that this group is also running the Denver safe zone. It's ultimately revealed in Season 4 that Hansen organized this group in order to find a way to kill Dracula.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Julius's mother is the only person he cares about. Dimitri and his sister Anastasia are... very close. The First Elder refers to Dimitri as his favorite servant and is clearly upset when Scarlett makes him kill him. Sam loves Mohammed, in his own twisted way. Which is why he's required to kill him in order to extinguish the light in him and become an Elder. Scab and Ivory fall into a romance of sort over the course of their time working together. The Brides all love the Dark One though Hansen also loves his adopted daughters, and ultimately chooses them over Dracula.

Driven to Suicide: Jack's girlfriend Shelley was bitten by a vampire during the Rising, and killed herself before she could turn. In "Sisterhunt", poor Mira beheads herself after becoming possessed by the Vanator. Already nearly suicidal after remembering her past life, the fear that she could be forced to kill again pushes her over the edge. After being made human again but realizing that Dracula can still control her, Bathory jumps off a building to her death.

Game Face: Normally averted, as vampires tend to be permanently in their monstrous appearances, which vary from unnaturally pale to looking like Orlok. But played straight with the Elders and Brides, who are able to use a glamor to make themselves look like normal humans, only dropping it when preparing to fight.

comment
Big Bad Ensemble: For the first two seasons, Dmitri is the primary antagonist, but even there's still the matter of Rebecca and Julius plotting against him. There's also the matter of the Serial Killer (Sam) running around, who becomes even more dangerous after becoming a vampire. Season 2 adds in Doctor Harrison, the head of the Government Conspiracy to experiment on and weaponize the vampires. Season 3 changes things up, since by that point Dmitri, Rebecca, and Harrison are dead and Julius is rendered human. Dmitri's former lieutenants Scab and Ivory emerge as a new major threat, especially after they take over the Daywalker horde. Meanwhile, while Sam is still running around, he soon becomes a pawn of the Oracle, who is manipulating him and Vanessa in order to bring about the creation of a new Elder. Season 4 technically streamlines things, as the Brides unify all the other vampires under themselves in their quest to free the Dark One. However, each Bride has their own agenda, and they're constantly plotting against each other.

Les Collaborateurs: In exchange for being left alone, Micah and his followers at Eden signed a treaty with Magdalene promising her a regular supply of blood. 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. Dr. Sholomenko is one prominent example, working with the vampires to find a way for them to procreate. It's eventually revealed that at least some members of Blak-Tech were working in service of freeing the Dark One all along.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Vanessa and Mohamad deciding to leave Sam alive instead of just killing him outright leads to him being turned into a vampire and curing his deafness, making him far stronger than he was before, definitely counts as this. Attempts by the Sunshine Unit to make Solicyte more effective against Daywalkers instead creates — and mass disperses — a bioweapon that's just as deadly to humans, and makes 5% of infected Daywalkers even harder to kill.

Failure Knight: Axel protects Vanessa for three years and resists the urge to kill when he becomes a vampire because he has an exceptionally strong sense of duty. This is because when he was 13 years old, he was responsible for his sister because of his implied dysfunctional family. He lost her at the park and she was never seen or heard from again. He is determined not to fail Vanessa like he feels he failed his sister.

Back from the Dead: Vanessa herself was technically dead for the three years between the Rising and the start of the series, being revived after being bitten. Happens to her again in the last scene of Season 2 (having been shot several episodes earlier) when she's revived by the First Elder's bite. Flesh is blown up alongside Lucky in the penultimate episode of Season 2, only to be resurrected in the Season 3 premiere thanks to the Healing Factor gained from Scarhead's bite. Lily Van Helsing, Vanessa's turn of the century ancestor, is revived in the Season 3 finale after some of Vanessa's blood is spilled on her corpse during Vanessa's fight with Sam.

comment
Wham Episode: "Last Time": Sam murders Susan, and is revealed to be the one who killed the other dead teammates. Vanessa and Mohamad leave him to die, but he gets bitten by a feral instead, and ends up with vampiric powers and the ability to hear again. "Love Bites": Despite being warned that her daughter Dylan cannot be made human again, Vanessa tries it anyway and apparently succeeds. The next day, despite being physically human, Dylan burns to ashes when the sunlight falls on her. In anguish, Vanessa screams, and everyone she had ever turned human again, no matter where they are in the world, suddenly doubles over clutching their hearts in pain. Then an ancient and decrepit vampire awakens from slumber. "Veritas Vincit": Vanessa runs into Scarlett and they discover they're sisters who were "grown" in a lab. "Birth Ritual": Scarlet kills herself to snap Vanessa out of her downward spiral, causing Axel to swear revenge on her. Sam kills Mohammad to prove himself worthy of being the Fourth Elder, and is transformed into a Horned Humanoid. Vanessa's ancestor Lily is resurrected. "Metamorphosis": Violet and Jack are revealed to be Vanessa's biological daughters, grown from ova stolen from her as a child by Blak-Tech. Bathory kills Sam to free Dracula from her imprisonment, only for Vanessa to sacrifice herself to re-imprison her. "Together Forever": Scab is finally killed by Julius, while Ivory is made human by Violet. One of the viewers of Darius' gladiator games is revealed to be the still-alive President. "The Beholder": Julius and Axel are exposed to something which shuts off their Healing Factor and seems to start killing them. Dracula is revealed to have escaped the Dark Realm by impersonating Jack, who was left behind, locked in a coffin. Dracula then kills and impersonates the President, freeing Bathory and leaving for the safe zone; Violet and Ivory are attacked by soldiers while trying to stop them.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Van Helsing (2016) / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: 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 Healing Factor but can be killed by conventional weapons. Vanessa also encounters a more bestial vampire in the sewers that apparently feeds on its own kin as well as humans, though it's not clear if this is an actual sub-type. "Super Unknown" introduces a type of vampire with psychic abilities, which feeds on life force instead of blood. "I Alive" presents vampires called "shadow walkers", which can move faster than the human eye can follow and can blend into shadows.

Abandoned Hospital: The first portion of the first season is set in the hospital Vanessa's comatose "dead" body was taken to just prior to the Rising, which Axel's squad fortified over the following months. The group is eventually forced to abandon it when Dimitri's Elite Mooks come for Vanessa and overrun the defenses and Axel blows it up to kill them all. The episode "Super Unknown" features Renfield House, an abandoned mental hospital now being used as a vampire nest. The Season 3 finale reveals that it's built above the labyrinth where the Dark One was sealed away.

Secret Legacy: Dimitri reveals to Vanessa in the Season 1 finale that she comes from a lineage of vampire hunters that he's encountered before. This is expanded on as the series progresses. Another layer is added to this in Season 5, when we learn that the first Van Helsing was the child of the woman who became Dracula.

comment
My God, What Have I Done?: After getting turned, Flesh murdered his whole family. When he becomes human again, he is filled with remorse over what he's done. Doc also screams in tortured anguish due to a combination of telling Magdalena that people were coming to kill her, before discovering the pile of bones from all the babies that had been given as sacrifices to the vampire. Though perhaps this is because she's also learned Vanessa curing her means she can't become a vampire again.

Unfortunately, when he demanded his payment, the gangsters stabbed him in the stomach and left him to die instead. The vampire Dimitri, who found the endurance he displayed in the match impressive, then showed up and saved him by turning him into a vampire.

Season 2: The Elder bites a seemingly-dead Vanessa, reviving her with red eyes. Season 3: While the human forces in Denver face off with the Daywalkers, Vanessa and a resurrected Lily Van Helsing have a showdown with the newly-made Elder Sam. Season 4: Axel and Julius are exposed to something which nullifies their Healing Factor and sends them into shock. Dracula kills and impersonates the President, then frees Bathory and leaves for the safe zone, with Violet and Ivory being attacked by soldiers when trying to stop them. Jack is shown to be trapped in a coffin in the Dark Realm.

A definite supernatural one appears in "The Doorway", where Vanessa is trapped in a part of the Dark Realm where she's forced to relive the memories of all the loved ones she failed to save. It ultimately turns out to be an Epiphanic Prison that she's only able to leave after learning to accept her own inner darkness.

Worst Aid
 Van Helsing (2016) / int_de306ba6
comment
Worst Aid: 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.

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale
 Van Helsing (2016) / int_ff481077
comment
Scifi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale: In this case, no sense of the scale of agriculture it actually takes to feed peoplenote In reality, about an acre per person, with most of the space going to and calories coming from grain and pulses, neither of which are grown in greenhouses., even if we ignore that plants wouldn't grow well under a constantly overcast sky anyway. This leads to nonsense like a community of a dozen supposedly self-sufficient survivors apparently just having one jury-rigged greenhouse for food - in the middle of a pine forest, no less, meaning crappy acidic soil, too much shade, and not even the possibility of grain fields nearby.

Death Seeker: Flesh becomes this in Season 3 after Lucky's death, but is hindered by the fact that by this point he's gained a Healing Factor of his own and can't die.
