As Anna swings from cable to cable (and somehow manages to catch the werewolf cure Carl has thrown to her while swinging past him) to the tower where Van Helsing is battling Dracula, the Count's remaining Bride, Aleera, has escaped battle with Frankenstein's monster and attacks Anna, knocking her off the cable and into the wall of the castle.
Anna is helpless as the vampire Bride lands in front of her.
"Anna, my love. It is your blood that shall keep me beautiful. What do you think of that?" Aleera taunts, standing triumphantly over Anna and giving out a victorious laugh. In her moment of glory though, she fails to notice the silver stake Carl has thrown to Anna, which she promptly impales into the Bride's chest.
Anna then proceeds to do something heroes rarely do; she takes the opportunity to point out Aleera has made arguably the biggest mistake a movie villain can make...
"I think if you're going to kill someone, kill them, don't stand there talking about it!" Anna states, pushing the vampire back. Aleera manages one last shrill scream of death as her skin boils and melts, and she then bursts in an explosion of green slime that flies about everywhere, leaving nothing left.
Forgt Explosion, since she splattered all over the place upon staking.
Should be "Explosion," not "Vanishing Corpse".
I'd have to say that this is probably my least favorite Movie Death cliche, gloating, revealing evil plan, etc., I don't actually not like that, I don't like everyone who complains about it!
Dangit, someone's screwed with me throughout the course of the entire film, I'd like them to have a particularly miserable angst-ridden demise at my hands!
For the record, the same does not apply with melodramatic laughing and posing though.
What I wanna know is why does she turn into green slime and pop like a zit, whereas Marishka and Verona just sort of turned into ashes.
Well, wait, hold on, even they both died in unique ways. Marishka turned into a skeleton, then crumbled into ashen dust; Verona simply turned into ash (although this might have had something to do with her close proximity to the burning carriage she was falling towards).
I asked me the same question. But maybe it's only to have some alternation in the movie.
I'm not quite sure whether Verona is falling to ashes or not. You can only see her falling into the fire after she is striked from a couple of metalbolts.
very nice you were in ,,van helswing'' .j hope you will tell me more about actors especially verona.thanks
well I think that atleast one of the brides should have lived and they are pretty cool to look at I look at them in slopw motion.
This death was the best out of all three.
