In contrast to this film's Andy Warhol-produced companion piece, Flesh for Frankenstein in 3-D, The Factory's in-house director Paul Morrissey here accents wit over gore in a clever twist on the vampire myth. Udo Kier is tragicomic as the anaemic Transylvanian Count looking for “wirgin” blood in an Italian household of females. Trouble is, sexy handyman Joe Dallesandro keeps deflowering his prospective prey. Heavy bloodshed is lightened by the consistently humorous tone of the tale, which hilariously ends with Kier having his arms and legs hacked off. Directors Vittorio De Sica and Roman Polanski put in telling cameos in this funny fang farce.

Carry on Dracula!
May be not as over-the-top as Flesh for Frankenstein (same cast & crew) but still just as funny. Udo Kier plays the Baron with a serious speech impediment (pronouncing virgins as 'wergins'!) who leaves his home country due to the lack of wergins (sorry - virgins!). With Dracula's coffin strapped to the roof of his car, the Baron travels to a French chateau. Here he attempts to drink the blood of the local girls. Unfortunately the local gardener (Joe Dellasandro - with a ludicrously out of place Brooklyn accent) de-flowers each of the girls before Dracula can get to them.
One of the funnier moments is when Dracula discovers the girls are not virgins only after he's bitten them, whereupon he has to make a hasty lunge for the toilet to vomit, his face a bright shade of green.
Ruder than a Carry On and gorier than an '80s slasher flick, this is one film hard to top. As with Flesh for Frankenstein there's plenty of un-pc sex, violence and humour to please the most jaded of movie buffs. Just make sure you are jaded BEFORE you watch it! -

Customer Review
Poorer than poor, at one point the talent free chap playing the "Count" screams "I vant my coffin!" I think we should give it to him, still in comparison to the rest of this clunky cast he's an acting god! From him and his manservant desperatley searching for "a Wirgin" to the "New Yawk" italian gardener who is happily denying that state to the various daughters of the Aristocratic Italian family with which the vampire stays, this is a masterclass in how to be accidentally funny on film; possibly the dumbest scene ever recorded is the death scene at the end when new york gardener stud chops up the Count with a handy fire axe! I laughed so much I couldn't find the remote! The music was nice and it was however quite well shot which is just as well, that way you could watch the scenery steal scene after scene from Captain Clunk and cast...I want my two hours back! As for my missing the point (meant to be bad?) I'll just say one last thing to Mr King, "Emperors new clothes"
