According to director Jessica M. Thompson, there were two alternate endings for the film, one that was filmed and one that wasn't. The unfilmed ending would have had Evie keep her vampiric powers, despite killing Walter/Dracula, and going out into the world to hunt other vampires; the filmed ending would have had Dracula survive the fire at New Carfax and return by ship to Romania, killing the crew and passengers on the way, in order to survive. Thompson was not a fan of that ending, as she felt it took away from Evie's triumph to have the vampire live, and also because she felt it would suggest there would be sequels. Test audiences also hated that ending. Thompson's original idea for the ending, which is what the final film ends on, was shot several weeks before the film's release, and required the use of a double for Hugh Skinner, as he was unavailable to film the scene. It also allowed there to be one more scene for Courtney Taylor, who was an audience favorite during the screenings.
