Steven Costa adds:

The little white canine that was casually shot and killed by the Red Baron . . . Snoopy. AUGH! (with apologies to C. Brown)

Pontianak - most likely a reference to the Malaysian vampire film Anak Pontianak (1958)

Kim Newman writes me to say that:

In BLOODY Red BARON, Bertie isn't Bertie Wooster but -- along with Algy and Ginger -- a sidekick of Biggles, from the WE Johns booksBruno Stachel is from the e book and movie The Blue MaxTom Cundall (from Yeates' brilliant novel Winged Victory, which was written as a 'realist' version of the first Biggles e-book)

Andrew J. Brook factors out that the detective fiction periodical "Crime Time" printed a chapter from The Bloody Red Baron by Kim Newman, "The Private Files of Mycroft Holmes," that wasn't included within the finished ebook. References along with the e-book correct are:

'The true id of the murderer of Edwin Drood' - Charles Dickens' unfinished final novel The Mystery of Edwin DroodThe Borgia Pearl - from Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons". Cunningly, in the Anno Dracula universe, Holmes was in a focus camp and so can not have solved this caseThe Nautilus - Nemo's submarine in Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea'Griffin's invisibility drug' - HG Wells' The Invisible Man; Griffin appeared briefly in Anno DraculaLyonesse - a kingdom in Arthurian legendAtlantis - legendary kingdom mentioned by PlatoOpar - misplaced African kingdom that includes in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan novelsKôr - city in H.

1959 Judgment of Tears: Anno Dracula 1959 (aka Dracula Cha Cha Cha)

Again, I'm certain I'm missing at the very least half of the borrowed characters, especially the Italian references. I'm skipping references to real persons and sticking with the fictional borrowed characters who either appear or are mentioned in Judgment of Tears. Because of Mark Brown, Loki Carbis, Chris Davies, Greg Gick, and Lou Mougin. Comments and recommendations are welcome.

Andrew McLean was able to assist me with a couple of more references:

Tom, the misplaced American (Ripley from the novels by Patricia Highsmith, the primary being The Talented Mr. Ripley, 1957)Lemmy Caution is talked about as an American detective - He is also from the Jean-Luc Godard movie Alphaville (1965)Crucial of all - the Mother of Tears (This creation comes by way of Dario Argento's proposed "Three Mothers" trilogy, of which solely two parts ever appeared. The first, Suspiria (1976), featured the Mother of Sighs, and the second, Inferno (1980), featured the Mother of Darkness. The third of the three Mothers by no means obtained a film, however thankfully Kim Newman remembered.)

Vincent Fish sent me a couple of:

Father Merrin is the exorcist within the Exorcist by William BlattyCabiria is probably from the Fellini film, Nights of Cabiria

Tristan Sargent adds that,

The items which Tom intends to steal include an ugly however helpful statuette of a hen of prey, and an Egyptian scarab with a set of pinpoint flaws in the shape of the massive dipper. These sound reasonably like Hammet's Maltese Falcon, and Stoker's Jewel of the Seven Stars

The monkey paw from The Monkey's Paw (huge shock there) by F.W. Jacobs

The last one, and probably the toughest, would seem like one of many solid gold models of the Eiffel Tower from the Ealing comedy The Lavender Hill Mob

Matthew Davis additionally sends extra references:

Jeremy Prokosch is from the film Le Mepris Le Mepris additionally features Fritz Lang taking pictures a movie about UlyssesPalazzo Otranto is from The Castle of Otranto by Horace WalpoleProfessor Adelsberg is from the movie Der Fluch der grünen Augen (Cave of the Living Dead)Clare Quilty and Vivian Darkbloom are from Lolita by Vladimir NabokovI think "an English subalternwith whom he had been flogged in school" is a few type of reference from Simon Raven, who is infamous for novels about school floggings Newman refers to Raven in the credit, however Ive never learn himHamer Radshaw from Fame is the Spur by Howard Spring"a button-nosed French reporter whose stiff fore-lock stood up" is Tin-Tin from quite a few cartoon strips by HergeFlattop is Frankensteins Monster (Boris Karloff version)clay monster is the Golem from Jewish folklore, however particularly this description is from The Golem film 1920robotic doll is Olympia from The Sandman by ETA HoffmanBasil Hallward from The picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar WildeThe Kool Tones are from Flying Saucer Rock and Roll by Howard WaldropRoger Penderel is from the movie The Old Dark HouseIrena Dubrovna from the film Cat People by Val LewtonAnthony Aloysius St. John Hancock is from the movie The RebelBianca Castafiore is one other character from the Tin-Tin collectionCagliostro in a conjuring competitors with Orson Welles is an in-joke since Orson Welles performed Cagliostro in Black MagicCatriona Kaye is from Jago by Kim NewmanViridiana is from the film Viridiana by Bunuelspies with NHS glasses and Marks & Spenser macs refers to Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) within the The Ipcress File, etcToby Dammit would probably be the actor Terrence Stamp who performed the role Toby Dammit in Fillinis section of Tre passi nel delirio which featured three adaptations of tales by PoeIrma Vep is from the movie Les VampiresDr Orlof is from the movie The Awful Doctor Orloff (aka The Demon Doctor; Screams in the Night)

Paul Chamberlain adds:

Max Brock - the (excruciatingly bad) beat poet from Roger Corman's A Bucket of BloodFlattop/Frankenstein that attacks Bond also appears to be an amalgamation of Oddjob from Goldfinger (the razor brimmed bowler hat) and Jaws from The Spy Who Loved Me (the steel teeth)

Paul Andinach provides:

Don Simon Ysidro is a personality from Barbara Hambly's novels (Those who Hunt By Night (aka Immortal Blood) and Traveling With the Dead)There's a lovely joke about Bond reminding Beauregard of Sergeant Dravot: in the 1975 film of The Man Who Would be King, Dravot was played by Sean Connery...Hamish Bond could also be based on the Fleming novels, but the sequence with the Russian spymaster (with the white cat -- you know) plays with the motion pictures. Flattop's movie influences have already been noted; the key base performs on the final perception of Bond Movie Villain Secret Bases, if not on any explicit one; and the cat-holding man whose face is all the time within the shadows relies on the best way Blofeld appeared in the movie of From Russia With Love: his face was at all times off display or turned away from the camera, and each time he spoke the digital camera went for a close-up of his omnipresent pet cat. (A cat which, incidentally, would not exist within the books.)

Mark Odell additionally adds:

The American yard-wide Kansas quarterback named Kent - Standing in for the late, nice Steve Reeves (who was also from Kansas)Miriam Blaylock: Catherine Deneuve's character from Tony Scott's film The Hunger (1983)Jonas Cord: from Harold Robbins' novel The Carpetbaggers (and the 1966 movie starring George Peppard)Chriseis: additionally from Incense for the Damned aka Bloodsuckers, 1970 film

Brian Combe adds:

Flattop, because the Frankenstein creature, also has the teeth of Jaws from the films The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, and the bowler hat of Oddjob from the film Goldfinger. His identify in all probability refers to the Dick Tracy character and his inclusion is a reference to the movie model of Casino Royale. Another pointer to that movie is the conjuring antics of Orson Welles. Another connection to Mr Welles is the appearance of the Martian from War of the Worlds.The clay creature might even be a hyperlink with the DC universe, as in addition to being the Golem he could also be Clayface from the Batman comics.

Steve Kydd chimes in with:

The "sad-looking hollow-cheeks named Collins...a uncommon American vampire" (pp 160-1), is Barnabas Collins from the Tv collection Dark ShadowsJoshua York (p.163), one of the friends at the marriage, is a vampire from Fevre Dream by George R.R. MartinEdward Weyland (p. 163), another marriage ceremony guest, is from The Vampire Tapestry by Suzy McKee CharnasHugh Farnham (p. 163) - wedding guest once more - is a vampire-like character from Kim Newman's Bad DreamsEdmund Cordery (p. 208) is a vampire researcher from Brian Stableford's The Empire of FearAnd just in case anybody missed it, there's that great joke on p. 261: Genevieve notices that Hamish Bond has modified subtly: "There was something totally different about him. He was the kind who all the time appears to be play-performing, taking an element. But the standard of his performing had modified, become broader, less convincing. He'd been expressing himself an excessive amount of with his eyebrows. The Scots in his accent had faded." This in fact refers to the Roger Moore, famed for his eyebrow-gymnastics, taking over from Sean Connery as James Bond in the movie sequence.

ANIBAS -- is from the remake of LA MASCHERA DEL DEMONIOPETER BLOOD -- is the one from the movie DR BLOOD'S COFFINThough the Mother OF TEARS is from Argento's trilogy, her various points come from different European movies -- the little girl is from Fellini's Toby Dammit, Viridiana from Luis Bunuel's movie of that identify, Mamma Roma from Pasolini's movie of that title and the previous furtune-teller from BICYCLE THIEVES.

The author, Kim Newman , December 31, 1998 "Besides the three novels, the Anno Dracula collection contains 'Coppola's Dracula,' a novella printed in Stephen Jones's The Mammoth Book of Dracula (and his The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror: 1998, and obtainable on the web at the Infinity Plus site). I'm about to begin work on another novella, 'Andy Warhol's Dracula,' which additional extends the sequence into the late 1970s. It is my current plan to fix up these two items, along with a section set in Los Angeles, right into a novel with the preliminary title Johnny Alucard: Anno Dracula 1976-79. Which will nicely be it, not less than for a while."

Newer news: 'The other Side of Midnight', the final quick story within the Anno Dracula triptych, is now finished. It's proposed the three stories ('Coppola's Dracula' and 'Andy Warhol's Dracula' being the earlier two tales) shall be revealed as a novel entitled Johnny Alucard.

Kim Newman writes me with some extra info:

Hooper_X provides:

Dan Cziraky factors out that:

In general, real people and events will not be listed (besides to show parallel themes), solely fictional cross-references.

Gomez, Morticia, and Fester Addams, and Thing (The Addams Family; actor Jack Nicholson's flirtation with Morticia is a play on his prior relationship with Angelica Huston, who performed Morticia within the film versions of The Addams Family; Nicholson's position in Burton's third movie, Red Reign, is analogous to Nicholson collaborating within the "actual" Tim Burton's third film, Batman)The character Renfield (actor Tracey Walter plays Renfield; in our universe Walter was also in Burton's Batman as Bob the Goon)The character Charles Beauregard (actor Michael Keaton performs Beauregard; in our universe Keaton performed Bruce Wayne/Batman)The character Van Helsing (actor Michael Gough plays Van Helsing; in our universe Gough played Alfred the butler in Burton's Batman)Baron Meinster (The Brides of Dracula, 1960 movie, English)The dictator Von Doom (Dr. Victor von Doom from Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four)Janos Skorzany (Janos Skorzeny from the unique Kolchak: The Night Stalker novel by Jeff Rice and T.V. film; one other Janos Skorzeny was a personality played by Chuck Connors in the tv program Werewolf (1987-88))Lord Ruthven (from the 1819 novel The Vampire by Dr. John Polidori)Graf Orlok (Nosferatu)Anton Phibes (Vincent Price, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, 1971; Dr. Phibes Rises Again, 1972)The Paris Opera House and Monsieur Erik (Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera)The character Dr. Caligari (Danny DeVito plays Caligari within the movie sequel, The Bloody Red Baron; in the true universe, DeVito was within the Batman sequel, Batman Returns)Many other actors involved in Burton films on this universe, reminiscent of Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, and Kim Basinger, are talked about as showing in analogous Burton movies within the Anno Dracula Universe)

Dan Cziraky adds the next:

I'd add Raoul Duke, creator of BLOOD AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. Duke, after all, was Hunter S. Thompson's pseudonym in Fear AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. Since Newman put Carl Kolchak in the first ANNO DRACULA guide, set in 1888, I determined that Duke can be the substitute reporter that stakes Skorzany in Las Vegas. In fact, Johnny Depp performed Duke/Thompson in the film version of Fear AND LOATHING.You may additionally add Tommy Lee Jones and Joel Schumacher, because the movie THE LOVES OF General IORGA is supposed to parallel BATMAN Forever.Dr. Quincy, talked about in passing in reference to BLOOD AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, is the Jack Klugman Tv-collection character."Kate had seen such pendants earlier than. They'd been bought around 1975 to lift cash for Baron Meinster's Transylvanian Movement, which had hoped to ascertain a vampire homeland on Dracula's previous estates in Transylvania." After all, this complete sequence refers to the Dracula's Castle Dirt pendants offered by the Captain Company in Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella, and Famous Monsters of Filmland magazines in the '70s.It ought to be noted that while this story is set within the ANNO DRACULA universe, it DOES violate continuity in that is supposes Dracula remains to be Dead. Once Newman publishes JOHNNY ALUCARD, we'll see Dracula resurrected. (C'mon! It's Dracula -- he Never stays lifeless!)
