I imagine what another sequel to "Van Helsing" movie could have given, in order to make a trilogy. Two years after the events of Sleepy Hollow, Van Helsing and his secret friends go to Egypt, country of origin of Ahmanet, because a new threat has just awakened. Because of the mysterious Doctor Pretorius and his accomplices, the terrible Scorpion King, one of the most powerful beings in the world, has been released after millennia of imprisonment. In addition to these already known "monster buddies", Gabriel will be helped by an egyptologist, who seems linked to a part of his past, Mina Murray, who hides a dark secret. He will also be helped by the American special agent Lawrence Talbot, who is actually a powerful Werewolf using a Pretorius serum to keep his human form for a time. Finally, the mad scientist creates a "Bride" for Frankenstein's Creature, hoping to control the Modern Prometheus, but it backfires. Today, more than ever, Van Helsing knows very well that the "monsters" are the only ones who can really save this world !
