The current issue of Make-up Artist has a short but quite interesting article on the DS movie. They describe the different prosthetics used on Johnny Depp's face and fingers. Apparently they toyed with the idea of giving Barnabas rattlesnake-like fangs before they settled on the "very traditional" fangs that were used.
Chloe Moretz did some tests with werewolf makeup but they ended up using digital effects. Because Chloe is a minor, there was a strict limit on the amount of time that she could be in makeup preparation and removal.
The Angelique transformation could have been quite different. They toyed with the idea of her cracking like an eggshell to reveal much older woman underneath. Alternately, she could have been "this withered bird creature underneath, with malformed wings and weird talons."
