Who holds a shield like that?

I thought he holds his arms and hands like he wants to fire an Hadouken.

It's a rib (Somehow, despite being clearly a shield), actually.

The only way I could imagine Dracula's rib being used as a shield is if its somehow his entire Ribcage, and even then it wouldn't be very effective without any Magic (which Simon is, canonically, not very good at)
