Snider came up with the idea for the group after seeing a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert but he wanted an orchestra that featured a Halloween theme. The group, named after fictional vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing , would release their first album in 2003 under the title Oculus Infernum , [1] which in Latin means "eye of hell."

The group, named after fictional vampire hunter, Abraham Van Helsing, would release their first album in 2003 under the title Oculus Infernum, which in Latin means “eye of hell.” The concept album, narrated by Dee himself, tells the fictional story of a young boy, orphaned after an entity murders all the adults in his town.
Van Helsing's Curse: Oculus Infernum. Just in time for Halloween comes an unexpected but intriguing project from Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. You may recall that Snider made his official foray into the world of horror – no, I'm not talking about Twisted Sister – back in 1998 with his cult film Strangeland.
Apart from the corny voices Dee is doing, in true horror-circus fashion, I actually think most of the instruments sound pretty clear and full, but apart from an occasional bass groove or pick-up in the drumming, some of them don't have much to do. Now, I like Dee Snider, not only as a singer but as an outstanding human being.
