Abraham Van Helsing may be the most famous of the early occult detectives, but there were many others who appeared in Victorian and Edwardian literature. Today I look back at some of the early supernatural sleuths who helped to define a genre that is still going strong today…

Abraham Van Helsing

Dr. Abraham Van Helsing- One of my favorite character

Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing

Hi peoples "Dr van Helsing in his trophyroom/mancave/armory getting ready for a night of hunting" My take on Abraham Van Helsing, the Dutch vampire hunter. I had a lot of fun making this piece, quite a few things populating the scene have their origins in lore or old and recent popculture. Hope you enjoy exploring the piece, it is worth having a look at it at its full 2000x3000 resolution smiley!

Anthony Hopkins as Professor Abraham Van Helsing...he made me drool for his intelligence and fearlessness. Plus I have a thing for Anthony Hopkins!
