I didn't notice anyone else mentioning this here, so hopefully I'm not flogging a dead vampire. Did anyone else notice the reference to "The Keep" in the Hellsing anime series? Around Episode 9 or so, one of the soldiers is grumbling, "Nazis and vampires? I've read this book before." Later, one of the English characters is captured and turned into a vampire ... the character's name is Paul Wilson.

ROTFL! How cool is that? Oh man, I don't think anybody else has mentioned that before.
I know next to nothing about anime series, but this one sounds interesting.
Thanks for sharing, it's news to me and I'm a SUPER MODERATOR!!!

It's always in fashion to flog a vampire, dead or, uh...undead.

Don't be silly, Dead. I'm going to show my merciful side and not fine you this time. After all, being hung by the neck til dead is punishment enough.
May God have mercy on your soul!!

I'd heard this before but never tracked it down. Episode 9, you say? I'll have to check it out. It's not listed in Netflix. Anyone know where I can get it?
I was flabbergasted when I found a street named after me in "Silent Hill."
I guess I've made it, huh?

It's on Netflix. Here is the link: http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movi...4&trkid=73
I'm guessing fpw misspelled it with only one 'L' as in Van Helsing.

that's so awesome. I feel like a huge idiot for not realizing it though.
