 The scene where Dracula lifts Phoebe up and she screams was done in  one take. Duncan Regehr wouldnt wear his red contacts or fangs  around the five year old Ashley Bank because it scared her too much.  For the scene, director Fred Dekker just told Ashley to scream once  the platform raised her. When she asked, "When?" Dekker told her,  "Oh, youll know," and proceeded to shoot. The terrified scream you  hear when Dracula opens his eyes is Ashleys genuine scream of  fright.
