Probably shows my age here, but this and Castlevania 3 are the essence of the series to me, but it's funny that 2 would draw the blueprint on what it would become. Either way, I like this piece a lot.

I didn't know about the credits themselves being a film homage, or the oddity around the different names for the first game. One of them being Vampire Killer makes me think of the disaster that is trying to keep track of the various names the Darkstalkers/Vampire games have had. It's funny how the first Castlevanias weren't the genre that the series helped name.
