The film begins in black and white, set in Transylvania, 1887. Doctor Victor Frankenstein brings to life the Frankenstein’s Monster but his triumph is cut short when an angry mob infiltrates the castle. Dr. Frankenstein has been aided in his experiments by his deformed assistant Igor, and Count Dracula. Dracula reveals that he helped Frankenstein so he could use the Monster for his own purposes, later revealed to be using the Monster to bring his undead children to life. Frankenstein refuses to help Dracula and tries to kill him, only to discover the Count is already dead. Dracula kills Frankenstein, but the Monster breaks free, knocks Dracula into a fireplace and escapes to a windmill with his "father’s" body. The mob pursues him, as does Dracula (who has survived the fire) and burns down the windmill. The Monster and Frankenstein fall into the ruins of the windmill and disappear. Dracula and his three brides, Verona, Marishka and Aleera, arrive at the remains, their plans seemingly in ruins.The film then leaps forward one year and changes to color, introducing Van Helsing a monster hunter who works for the Knights of the Holy Order at Vatican City.After unintentionally killing Mr. Hyde in Paris, Van Helsing returns to the Vatican where he is assigned his next mission by a cardinal. He is sent to Transylvania to help the last of the Valerious family, Anna, to destroy Dracula; otherwise many generations of the family will never go to Heaven. This is because one of Anna’s ancestors vowed that his family would never rest in peace until Dracula is dead.Van Helsing takes Carl with him, an intelligent but bumbling friar who doesn’t really mind blaspheming (as he swears several times and later sleeps with a Transylvanian woman). The two arrive in a town, where they meet Anna, who is the last Velarius after her brother Velkan fell into a river whilst fighting a werewolf. Three of Dracula’s brides attack the town, but Van Helsing kills Marishka by firing quarrels covered in holy water at her. Anna reluctantly accepts Van Helsing’s help and takes him to her castle home. That night, a werewolf shows up. He is revealed to be Velkan, bitten by the previous wolf. Velkan retreats to Frankenstein Castle with Van Helsing and Anna in pursuit, the werewolf killing a creepy gravedigger in the process. Velkan is strapped into a special device by Dracula, in order for Velkan to act as a conductor for electricity to bring Dracula’s children to life. The process is an initial success: Dracula’s children come to life and attack the nearby town. Anna releases Velkan but he becomes a werewolf again. Van Helsing meets Dracula, who addresses him as "Gabriel". Van Helsing tries to stab him with a stake and burn him with a holy cross, but neither weapon can harm him. Carl, who was in the town as well, rescues a peasant woman, who has sex with him in gratitude after Dracula’s children undergo spontaneous combustion: Dracula’s brides, who were directing their children’s feeding frenzy, retreat in horror. The next morning, he accidentally reveals a secret panel which shows two knights fighting. After reading a Latin incantation, the image becomes animated, and the two knights transform into a werewolf and a vampire and brutally attack each other.Van Helsing and Anna escape but fall into an underground cavern, discovering the Frankenstein Monster hiding from Dracula. The Monster explains he is the key to Dracula’s plans, also mentioning the infant vampires were only born to one of Dracula’s brides, and that there are still thousands more, waiting to be awoken. Anna suggests killing the Monster, but Van Helsing decides to take him to Rome to protect him from Dracula. Picking up Carl, the group (Van Helsing, Anna, Carl and the Monster) head off in horse-drawn carriages. However, the remaining brides and the Velkan werewolf chase after them. The carriage falls down a ravine, the brides pursuing it but discovering it is a decoy with a box of stakes inside. The carriage hits the ground and explodes, sending out stakes that impale and kill Verona. The real carriage containing the group nearly gets away, but the werewolf appears and set the carriage on fire. Van Helsing shoots the werewolf with silver bullets twice, killing him. Anna finds Velkan shortly before he dies; she also discovers Van Helsing was bitten in the process and will become a werewolf.Anna is then kidnapped by Aleera, who in Budapest proposes a trade: Frankenstein’s Monster for Anna. Van Helsing agrees, but has no actual intention of trading. Instead, Van Helsing knocks the Monster out and places him in a tomb to keep him from being captured by Dracula’s minions. Van Helsing and Carl go to Dracula’s summer palace which is the location of an opulent masquerade ball, and also the location chosen for the trade. Van Helsing rescues Anna from being bitten and becoming one of Dracula’s brides, but discovers the Monster has been captured by the undead, who are then sent after Van Helsing and the others. Dracula reveals Van Helsing’s identity to the patrons, every one of which turns out to be a vampire. All of them are destroyed by a weapon created by Carl which releases a burst of light of comparable intensity with the sun: however, Dracula, Aleera and Igor escape with the Monster. Van Helsing vows to find him and give him freedom, but Carl tells him the Vatican has ordered the Monster’s death so he cannot be used to threaten humanity. Van Helsing gives into his animalistic rage and nearly kills Carl at this news, demanding to know if the Vatican has pronounced his death sentence on learning he is about to become a monster, but he calms himself once he learns Carl has kept that part secret.The trio returns to Anna’s castle and piece together that Dracula was killed in the 1400s, made a deal with the Devil and became a vampire; Dracula is actually the son of Anna’s ancestor; and the a moving painting showing a werewolf fighting a vampire. The group then discover the door to Dracula’s lair: a large map owned by Anna’s deceased father. A missing piece is in the possession of Van Helsing, who received it from the Vatican priest. The missing piece is added and the map is turned into a door. The three travel through the door and find an icy fortress: Dracula’s lair.Inside, Van Helsing sees the Monster, who explains that Dracula has a werewolf cure. The group tries to figure out why Dracula has a cure for werewolves, until Carl figures out the painting of a werewolf fighting a vampire in Anna’s castle was a message, telling that only a werewolf can kill Dracula. Anna and Carl force a captured Igor to take them to the cure, but are attacked by Aleera. Carl heads off with the cure to find Van Helsing, who must kill Dracula and receive the cure before the final stroke of midnight, or he will permanently become a werewolf. Carl is pursued by Igor, who attacks him with a tazer-like weapon. Van Helsing manages to free the Monster but not before Dracula’s children are brought to life. Dracula attacks Van Helsing, transforming into a demonic winged vampire. The Monster falls off a tower and is propelled through the air on a wire, which collides with Igor, sending him plummeting down a ravine to his demise. The Monster distracts Aleera, allowing Anna to escape. However, this distraction lasts for only so long when Aleera confronts Anna. Anna stabs Aleera with a stake that Carl throws (after crossing the gap in the bridge), killing her. Van Helsing, transformed into a werewolf, fights Dracula until the full moon is blocked out by clouds. Dracula takes this opportunity to reveal that Van Helsing is the Left Hand of God, another name for Gabriel, and it was he who killed him in the 1400s. Dracula attempts to get Van Helsing to be his partner. Van Helsing refuses, returns to werewolf form when the moon comes out again, and kills Dracula by biting his neck. Dracula and his children all die. Anna rushes in with the cure, after receiving it from Carl, and races to save Van Helsing, but he attacks and kills her in werewolf form. However, she has managed to inject him with the cure. Restored to humanity, he holds her body in his arms.Van Helsing and Carl cremate Anna’s body by the ocean shore, honoring Anna’s unfulfilled desire to see the ocean. Van Helsing briefly sees a vision of Anna and her family in Heaven, before he and Carl head off back to Rome. The Monster, having survived, rows off on a raft to an unknown future.
