My favorite part of the movie is the sequence where Mark finds Sarah in the Marquis display, convinces her to leave the display with him, and then they go back through the barrier to the waxwork. I love everything about that sequence - the acting, the cinematography, the musical score, everything.

My favorite display sequence, though, will always be the graveyard sequence where Mark encounters the Zombies.

My favorite quote in the film is the banter between Gemma, Tony and Sarah:
GEMMA: "What's happening tonight, guys?"
TONY: "Nothing. I gave up drinking."
SARAH: "For the third time this month?"

Classic.

The scene where Dracula, draping himself in his own indignity,
turned into a bat only to get his bat's head blown off by
Mark's uncle's revolver.
It reminds me of Puss-In-Boots and the Ogre.

When Sarah tosses the midget into the plant that's saying "Feed Me!"

Now that I just saw it again, I liked the whole premise of it, but the whole arc with Sarah, who seemed to be dealing with the awakening of her own sexuality that made her vulnerable to the Marquis de Sade trap, was what lingered in my mind. I noticed even that the music for that part of the film had a whole other spirit/mood to it. More intense, more emotional. Factor in that, earlier, Sarah did not want to kiss Zach's character and you get a sense of a young woman grappling with needs she does not recognize yet. Then the hero points out to her that she is handing over her power over herself to someone else and you have a narrative with unexpected depth to it.
'Don't know if I'd want to see a remake of it though. Sarah's story would just become sordid in a Girls Gone Wild/Paris Hilton kind of way.

The Dracula display and any scene with Marquis de Sade. Also the Werewolf scene.

woodendragon, thanks for pointing it out.

Marquis de Sade is in some respects an even worse monster
than Dracula, who acted only according to his own nature.
Which gives the depraved marquis a truly Satanic dimension
as a despoiler of innocence.
