Van Helsing (2004), directed by Stephen Sommers and starring Hugh Jackman as Gabriel Van Helsing with Kate Beckinsale as Anna Valerious, featured a powerhouse gothic-action score by Alan Silvestri. Known for Back to the Future, Predator, Forrest Gump, and The Mummy Returns, Silvestri delivered a darkly operatic soundtrack brimming with relentless action cues, pounding orchestral rhythms, and sweeping, romantic themes.

The music underscores Dracula’s menace (Richard Roxburgh), the tragic grandeur of Frankenstein’s Monster (Shuler Hensley), and the heroic ferocity of Van Helsing’s monster-hunting quest. Tracks like “Transylvania,” “The Wolfman,”and “To Catch a Thief” highlight Silvestri’s trademark brass and percussion-driven style, while lyrical moments evoke Anna’s doomed lineage and the film’s gothic setting. Released on Decca Records, the soundtrack stands among Silvestri’s most muscular works, often compared to Danny Elfman’s Sleepy Hollow, Wojciech Kilar’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and James Newton Howard’s King Kong.
