Past Updates

Hello VanHelsing Fans! All of the contact information is pretty much organized; I'm going to work on freeing up space and things like that, since I received a message about space some time ago. More updates are coming soon, and if you have anything to contribute please contact me.

† Monday, May 22, 2006 - 1:13 AM

There is a new layout up; I'm not that good at making layouts, but I think this one is okay. I have also added a Past Layouts page, and I am working on freeing up some space so that I will have more space to add things. I have also updated the links page and added fanlisting links with images.
In Van Helsing related news, both Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale are in new upcoming movies. Kate Beckinsale is in a new movie with Adam Sandler called "Click". Here is a poster where you can see her name. For more information, visit the Click information page on the Internet Movie Database Here. Hugh Jackman is in X-Men : The Last Stand, which you can visit Here.

There are wonderful new fanfiction contributions in the FanFiction section kindly contributed by Anna. They are the very first, and very great ones, please do go read those. Thank you for the wonderful contributions!

† Monday, May 29, 2006 - 10:11 PM

VanHelsingFan has a new awesome affiliate, Hollow, a Vlad Dracula fansite!

† Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 1:56 PM

There is new fanfiction by Claudia in the Fanfiction Section.
On a side note, I recently saw X-Men The Last Stand and found it to be very good, if anyone would like to see that movie, as it features Hugh Jackman.

The forum is unavailable. There were many spam members signing up and I was deleting them all manually, but now the forum is down, so I will remove its link in the Interactive Section. There are forums available with some of our affiliates, such as Eternity and Vanquish Evil, so if you would like to visit a Van Helsing forum please do pay those a visit. Also the Press {Articles & Reviews} section of the Movie is being worked on, but the articles and reviews are up. I have also added a link to a current online Transcript of the movie under "Movie". I hope everyone has a good fourth of July and a good summer.

Please read!! Greetings, I hope everyone is having a good week. I have to post that I will not be able to update for some time, and I was hoping that there would be someone who could either help me out with this website or who would want to adopt it. I do not want it to close, and so if there is no one willing to adopt I will see what I can do about internet access in the future. Please e-mail me at taleasoldastime_beautybeast[AT]yahoo.com if you would like to adopt this website. If not, I will definitely not close it but I will try to be able to get access in the future. Please e-mail me if you are interested with your name, e-mail address, website[s] if you have one, and anything else you would like to include. Thank you for your time and hopefully someone can help. Also I have added another counter, since I accidentally deleted the previous counter.

There is a new layout up; I have been wanting do work with lighter colors to make VanHelsingFan lighter, and so I have made the colors of this layout shades of gray. I have not been able to find anyone to adopt the website, and so I will do my best to update. I will keep this webpage open for sure, and update as much as possible. Perhaps for Halloween I was thinking of making a white brides layout; or maybe one with Anna and Van Helsing with funny scared faces on a screencapture I saw, or perhaps one with snow for the wintery season. For now this layout will be good, and I will be working on updating the rest of the website. I also would like to work with the gallery because I would like to add more screencaptures, so I believe I will try to screencapture the movie. Have a good weekend everyone, and thank you for visiting.
- I have added picture icons next to the descriptions in the Cast page.
- I have removed the form from the adoption center.
- I have updated various pages/links and added new linking buttons and information about the previous layout.
- I have updated the forms.
Also, the movie CLICK, starring Kate Beckinsale, has now been released in theatres, so be sure to check that out as it features one of the stars of Van Helsing!

3:19 PM - I have re-installed the forum. The other forum files were deleted, they are all missing from my ftp files and I do not have any idea where they are. This is very unfortunate, as there were many good topics on that forum and many members. I believe that it may have been deleted because there was no ad on it, the ad that is on top of this page, so I have added an ad at the bottom of the forum, and hopefully it will not be deleted again. Please do join the forum again! It is located at http://www.vanhelsingfan.com/forum/. I made a new theme, as the old one was lost with all of the forum files, and it matches this layout somewhat. I hope to be able to make a new theme every time I make a new layout. Thank you for visiting, and please re-join or join the forum!

- I have updated the articles and reviews and now they look different and have updated various pages and folders. I re-added the countdown clocks page, moved the fanart page to Interactive [with fanfiction], and added some msn icons that had been in a folder.

† Friday, July 21, 2006 - 11:49 AM

I have added a Past Updates Page in the Website Section. I have added a Signatures page in the Media Section for Signatures used on Messageboards or Forums.

† Saturday, August 19, 2006 - 11:30 AM

The Forum has been deleted again. I don't know if I was violating a rule or rules on fan-sites.org but it has been removed from my ftp for a reason I am unaware of. I hope I was not violating anything. It is a shame too, because we were just getting it up and running and the new members were going to make a wonderful addition and wonderful contributions to the forum. And I had just upgraded the script as well. I am not sure if I will attempt getting it back up because it will probably be deleted again. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to contact me with them. Again, especially to the forum members, I am deeply sorry for this.

† Sunday, August 20, 2006 - 01:25 AM

I have updated the articles pages and the past updates page and have added the ad codes on those pages. They have a different layout or look which is why I had to add the code in another part of the page at the bottom. I have also updated the navigation and have added a Random Quote section and a Link Here section, and have removed the Calendar because it was not showing up. I have also added an affiliates section in the navigation and have used a small pixel cross as the image, since it is related to VanHelsing. I have linked there the affiliates that have websites up, since some have unavailable pages or broken links. I have also updated the credits page.

† Friday, August 25, 2006 - 08:27 PM

I realized yesterday that the Gallery had been removed, and I apologize for that. I have now updated the Gallery to the latest version and it now has a new template, a gray template provided by fan-sites.org, to match the layout, although the template is a bit darker. I may try a lighter one later on. I have re-added most of the images, although I still need a few, which I hope to be able to re-add soon. Thank goodness none of the images were removed, as there were countless of priceless images. The new Gallery is no longer at http://www.vanhelsingfan.com/gallery/, but at http://www.vanhelsingfan.com/pictures/.
Also, there is a new movie I recently saw the preview of called The Prestige, featuring Hugh Jackman. It seems very interesting to me, particulary because, like Van Helsing, it is set in a previous century. You can find summaries and information for The Prestige here.
I have updated the past updates page.

† Friday, September 08, 2006 - 05:11 PM

There is a new layout up! I realize it is still early September, but I had seen a funny screencapture of Anna and VanHelsing and wanted to make a layout for Halloween with it. This is not the same screencapture; sadly I couldn't find the one I saw at first but I found another one.
I have updated the past updates and past layouts pages, added new linking buttons and new sizes, and I have fixed up the navigation and added a new style with this layout and new affiliate navigation images.
I was also recently approved to adopt the fanlisting for the Anna and VanHelsing relationship, so I will add that as an affiliate and change the link on the links page.
I hope everyone likes the new layout and has a Happy October and Happy Halloween!

† Saturday, September 09, 2006 - 11:07 PM

VanHelsingFan has a new affiliate, Cat Shadows Designs. Thanks for affiliating!!!

† Sunday, September 24, 2006 - 07:32 PM

I have added nine more albums of images in the Gallery. I hope to finish adding the rest of the images from the previous gallery soon.

† Saturday, September 30, 2006 - 10:53 AM

I have added all of the remaining albums to the gallery, so now there are many more pictures. There are still a few in a folder that I need to upload. Also I have applied for the Carl fanlisting, hopefully I will get approved, and I am working on making better updates and press archives. I also have a great magazine image of Kate Beckinsale that I wish to post soon. I have also joined the Celebrity-Exchange.com directory, under Joined in the Website Section. VanHelsingFan also has two new affiliates : Sleepy Hollow and True Love.
Also, I have added a new page in the Media section called ColorBars, with about 15 colorbars I created, most often used on livejournal, that you may use.

† Sunday, October 22, 2006 - 10:08 AM

We have a new affiliate, a beautiful website dedicated to The Mummy movies!!! I really love these movies and am so obsessed with them as I am with my three other favorites!!! Definitely a must visit, thank you for affiliating!

† Thursday, November 02, 2006 - 04:50 PM

We have a new affiliate, LOST, a bram stoker's dracula fansite. Also, I'll be changing the layout soon, since Halloween has passed, as has October.

† Thursday, November 09, 2006 - 10:36 PM

There is a new layout up, featuring The Brides! I thought it was time for a layout change because the previous layout was a Halloween-themed layout. I was going to make a white Brides layout for Christmas/Winter Holidays, but I found a picture I would like to use of Anna and Gabriel for the Winter Layout, especially since I would like to feature them together for the Holidays. I hope everyone likes the layout!
I'll try to make a Gallery theme layout really quick right now, as well.
EDIT : I have made a new gallery theme: it's purple, and hopefully you enjoy it.

† Thursday, November 30, 2006

I have added a beautiful icon made by DrewTheWolf. Thank you!!!

† Thursday, December 07, 2006

I have added two beautiful signatures made by DrewTheWolf. Thank you, they are lovely!
I am so sorry for the lack of updates! I will make more updates today and I plan to add a new layout (the Anna and Gabriel Christmas-type layout) and hopefully I can add a forum.
Also, I recently updated the gallery, and to save space I deleted the screencaptures of the movie. There were many, and then I realized I didn't have to delete them, but by then it was too late. Because of this, I will make sure to make screencaptures of the movie ASAP.
I am sad to say that one of our affiliates, Vanquish Evil, is closed. This was a very beautiful website and will be missed greatly. I will leave the link up because it is a beautiful VanHelsing website!

† Friday, December 08, 2006

We have a new affiliate, Aleera! Please visit!

† Sunday, March 25, 2007

New layout! I was hoping to make a Spring layout, but I don't have too much time and so I have made this one, pretty neat huh? :)
I have updated the past layouts and past updates pages, and added a new page of Gifts with a wonderful Gift from our sister site Aleera!
I've also updated some affiliates and links.
I will try to work more on the website, and hopefully be able to screencap tons of images of the movie and more. In the meantime, you can see David Wenham (Carl) in the epic movie, 300, now playing!

Wednesday, April 04, 2007

Hello VanHelsingFans! I have a great new beginning idea for a new layout, which I will probably implement this afternoon to make a new layout! I'll also be working on making a new press section (with its own layout of course!) and a bunch of other things, like adding new pictures and a theme to the gallery; I believe I'll use a fan-sites.org theme since they're really nice! Until this afternoon, then!

[EDIT]: I have made the new layout! Featuring Elena, Josie, and Silvia during the VanHelsing premiere. It looks very spring-like, because it's spring where I am from, so I wanted to add something more spring-type. I've added the previous one to the past layouts page and I have added a new gallery theme by fan-sites.org and added the previous one to the past layouts page as well. Added new link back buttons and fixed the navigations a bit. More updates coming up!

Wednesday, April 11, 2007

We have a new affiliate! Please make sure to visit!!!

May 06, 2007

Tomorrow is the three year anniversary of the release of Van Helsing! Happy anniversary to VanHelsing!!

To celebrate I plan to screencap the movie in the next few days with any of the special features that are not available in the gallery, and I plan to add some images I need to add and generally make the gallery much bigger. I also hope to get inspiration for a new layout to celebrate as well.

May 27, 2007

Please Read!!!

I've received news from a wonderful fan, Joanna, who has let me know that Universal is planning to make the rest of the Van Helsing series on DVD and will recast it! This is a big big mistake, there are a great deal of Van Helsing fans who would love to see a new movie with the same cast. She has made a petition to stop this, please sign her petition! It is located here CLICK TO GO TO THE PETITION.
Please sign the petition!!!!

June 18, 2007

There's a new layout up! Thanks to the awesome Misty Dreams Designs for this beautiful summery version of VanHelsingFan, featuring the always beautiful Kate Beckinsale as Anna Valerious.
I haven't screencapped the movie yet, I feel awful, but I'm having to go to summer courses this year unfortunately. However, in August I'll have three or more weeks to work on them so I'll make sure to screencap asap tons of photos. I also want to fix up the gallery, and I might start doing that this week, as well as fixing up the pages in general.
In movie news, Kate Beckinsale stars in Vacancy, which has been released, alongside Luke Wilson. Also please please make sure to sign the petition (below) if you haven't! Many thanks!.

August 05, 2007

I've realized that the contact/affiliate/contribute forms have been pointing to the wrong email address for some time, I am so sorry for this. If you submitted any kind of contact form please re-submit, thanks!

August 19, 2007

Some overdue updates today! I have made a separate Press section with a new area about Sequel News. I've updated some of the pages and links and I've also added many more pictures to the Gallery!! I had those pictures in a folder in the Gallery but I hadn't added them, and now they are there. I still have quite a few left to go, but I'll be back later on today to add those :)

Edit: August 20, 2007 - I finished adding all of the pictures I had to the Gallery! Make sure you go check those out, and I'll try as soon as I can to make screencaptures of the movie. I plan to really make a lot of captures very carefully, so I might decide to add some chapters at a time.

Also, I forgot to add this earlier, but I went to the bookstore on Friday and I found this book that relates to Van Helsing. I was going to purchase it but then I didn't. However, oddly, I had a dream about it that Friday night and on Saturday night as well, and finally I decided I had to get it. I bought it today and I must say it is very interesting. It is called Vampyre: The Terrifying Lost Journal of Dr. Cornelius Van Helsing, by Cornelius Van Helsing, Gustav De Wolff, Mary-Jane Knight, Philip Jacobs (Illustrator), Mike Peterkin (Illustrator).

I believe it talks about the original Abraham Van Helsing who does relate to the movie and it also mentions Mina Harker from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and I remember that in that film Mina Harker mentions working with Van Helsing to destroy Dracula, so it too relates to Van Helsing. I definitely recommend it for any Van Helsing fan.

August 31, 2007

Some great news, we have a new staff member here for vanhelsingfan.com, Ali

I'm so sorry for going two months without updating! I'm almost done with school for the semester, because my winter break is coming up, so I'll definitely have more time to update then. I've received some wonderful graphic and fanfiction submissions from Victoria, who has allowed us to put up her amazing Van Helsing banners and her fanfiction! So in the Media section there is a new Banners section and in the Fan Fiction section you will find a new story by Victoria! Thank you!!!

December 01, 2007

Some wonderful news! We have received a beautiful gift from Victoria at Wednesday!!! It's really wonderful, it is located in the Gifts section and I'll place it here in the update as well. Thank you!

December 14, 2007

April 11, 2008

I realize it's less than one month for the four year anniversary of Van Helsing!!! I plan to screencap the movie before then, perhaps next week because I don't have any exams next week. Also I've gotten a Bravenet Counter because it's the only reliable counter I know of.

May 01, 2008

Only a few days are left until the four year anniversary of Van Helsing! I'll try to screencap the movie tonight or tomorrow. As for today, we have a new affiliate, Blue Hour: a Twilight series fansite.

I'm very excited because, like VanHelsing, the Twilight series is about Vampires, so if you're a fan of VanHelsing there's no doubt you'll love Twilight or be interested in it, so make sure to visit them.
