Van Helsing is a character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. He is a work of fiction. The Van Helsing movie was a 'spin off' of the character from Dracula.

Professor Abraham Van Helsing is a fictional character in the novel Dracula (1897) by Bram Stoker. He is a Dutch doctor, of advanced age and a wide range of interests and accomplishments, partly attested by the string of letters that follows his name: "M.D., D.Ph., D.Litt., etc., etc.", but is best known as a vampire hunter.
