Description |

Dracula has never been so funny and dashing - to say nothing of being an awesome disco dancer - as in this "delightful movie with a bang-up cast" (The New York Times) led by the epitome of suave, George Hamilton, and featuring first-rate performances from Susan Saint James, Richard Benjamin, Dick Shawn, Arte Johnson, Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford! Evicted from Transylvania, Dracula (Hamilton) goes to New York to make Cindy (Saint James), a model with an old soul, his eternal bride. To his delight, she quickly falls for his necking style. But when her would-be boyfriend (Benjamin), a descendant of the vampire-killing Van Helsings, meets his romantic rival, he's determined to put a stake in the count's plans! |

Love At First Bite...NOT BITING! |
|
Simply put...SKIP THIS DVD! Like others have said, without the ORIGINAL theatrical release version of "I Love The Nightlife" playing in the backround of the dance/seduction scene, this DVD ain't worth the plastic coaster it's burned on! If anything's getting burned by this inferior version, it's the consumer! Vote with your wallet. Tell MGM to spend the few extra bucks that it would have taken to include the original disco song by Alicia Bridges by NOT PURCHASING this DVD! If enough people feel this way, it will hopefully get back to MGM and then you'll see... eventually they will release another version with digitally enhanced video and audio, maybe on Blu-ray, but most importantly, hopefully WITH the ORIGINAL authentic soundtrack intact! Of course we'll then have to pay something like $25.99 for the release... but, it'll be well worth it! |

Cult Classic |
I love this movie and bought the dvd because I got tired of waiting for it to show up on cable tv.
There are some great lines in the movie. " I think I may possibly love you" " NO it is you who will be getting drowsier, and drowsier" " With you never a quickie, always a longie"
My only complaint is that they changed the music score. I loved " Love the night life" disco music originally in the music and listed on the credits. it really worked with movie, the replacment track sucks. |

On The Best Horror Parodies |
|
In my opinion,amoung the many horror spoof/parodies of the 70s and 80s;there are 2 films,that really are true classics.The first,Mel Brooks&Gene Wilder's"Young Frankenstein".The second is this,hilarious spoof/parody of the"Dracula"films.The basic premise is Dracula being forced out of his Transylvania mansion,and heading to New York,to make a model his bride.With such a talented cast,this film becomes a hilariously,memorable"Fish Out Of Water" story.George Hamilton("Where The Boys Are") makes a great Dracula;very handsome,very suave,and also, very amusing.Arte Johnson("Laugh In")is laugh out loud funny,as Dracula's(bug eating) assistant,Renfield.Susan Saint James("Kate and Allie")sparkles as Cindy,the lovely model,whom Dracula is infatuated with.But in my opinion,Richard Benjamin("The Sunshine Boys")almost walks away with the picture,as Dr.Geoffrey Rosenberg,a loony psychiatrist(supposedly a relative of Dr.Van Helsing)who will stop at nothing to destroy Dracula.There's also a great supporting cast,including Dick Shawn("The Producers"),and Isabella Sanford and Sherman Hemsley(Louise and George of tv's"The Jeffersons").This movie is full of so many funny moments,it's truly the best of all vampire spoof films.I give this film 4 stars,I would have given it 5,but some of the music has been changed,"I Love The Nightlife"(which played during the disco scene, in the theatrical film)has been replaced by a generic disco tune,which really puts a damper,on a funny scene. |

A Wonderful Blast from the Past |
|
I enjoyed this movie when I first saw it a long time ago. I still enjoy watching it today. However, I am a bit disappointed in the movie company in that they changed the song during the disco dance scene where Dracula dances with Cindy. The new song just doesn't fit the dance as well as the original song. |
