The horror-action hit of the year is coming to DVD with some cool bonus features. Van Helsing, starring Hugh Jackman as the monster hunter, will be available Sept. 28 in single-disc widescreen and full-screen versions as well as a three-disc collector's edition.

Both the single-disc and triple-disc releases will contain: a 360 degree tour of Dracula's castle, deleted scenes, a documentary feature, technical commentary with director Stephen Sommers and editor/producer Bob Duscay, and a separate commentary with stars Richard Roxburgh, Shuler Hensley, and Will Kemp.

The ultimate collector's edition will also have: a 360 degree tour of Frankenstein's lab, more documentary features, the music of Van Helsing, a sample of the Xbox game, and the classic Universal monster movies Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), and The Wolf Man (1941).

The collector's edition set, which contains just the widescreen version of the film, will be produced in limited quantities.
