![Blood for Dracula [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51F11T3H6DL._SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
I first saw this movie at the theater years ago when it first came out. Everyone was very quiet and there were some complaints about how bloody it was. It was not until we started laughing that the rest of the audience caught on to the fact that this movie is very much a comedy. I absolutely loved it. Dracula is putting on makeup and dying his white hair at the beginning (so he won't look so old!!). Then he and his servant as a total silhouette against a brilliant sunset ride away into the sunset in a 1910 or 1920 touring car with a coffin strapped onto the top.
He can only survive with virgin blood and, alas, there are no virgins left in Transylvania. He travels to Italy because he has heard it is a very religious country and must be full of virgins. Hardly! He located an impoverished aristocratic family with I think it is four daughters. He gets the first girl in his room and asks her if she's a virgin and she lies and says yes, so he bites her. Then he is in a solid white bathroom, white floor, white fixtures, white walls, white ceiling -- you get the idea. His skin turns green and he throws up bright red blood all over this pristine bathroom. The two older daughters have been having sex with the handyman all through the movie, but after being bitten by Dracula they turn into lesbians (apparently if they aren't virgins this is what happens) and later the handy man gets the virgin alone and tells her he as to have sex with her so the vampire won't get her. I believe the mother walks in on them -- I forget. Later the handyman is chasing Dracula around in a circle in the driveway with an axe and lops off his arms and legs and Dracula says "ha ha, you can't hurt me," as he lies there with no arms and legs. The oldest daughter (the only virgin) comes screaming down and throws herself onto the stake impaling Dracula screaming "He was mine -- and you took him from me (or something like that).
There is so much humor in this movie even though the actors play it absolutely straight that I just fell in love with it. As a sophisticated horror/comedy I have to give it 5 stars for the incredible sense of humor!!
