Trama e commenti: cinematografo.it - kataweb.it: «Sfrattato dal suo castello in Transilvania, il conte Dracula ripara a New York dove fatica per trovare il sangue necessario alla sopravvivenza e corteggia una bella fotomodella, nipote del dr. Van Helsing. Una delle tante parodie dei film ispirati al romanzo di Bram Stoker: divertimento discontinuo, inventiva in progressivo calando».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - allmovie.com - nytimes.com - rottentomatoes.com - cinemotions.com- thespinningimage.co.uk: «Count Dracula (George Hamilton) is enduring a lonely existence in his Transylvanian castle when he is abruptly evicted to make way for a Romanian gymnastics school. Besotted with a model (Susan Saint James) he has seen in the pages of fashion magazines, he travels to New York to hunt her down and make her his vampire bride... This amiable horror spoof was written by Robert Kaufman, in a jokey update of Bram Stoker's famed bloodsucker. Of all the vampire parodies, this is the most bloodless (or least bloodfull), settling for easy humour, lacking the style of, for example, Dance of the Vampires, and in fact looking more like a TV movie. George Hamilton seems an unlikely choice to play Dracula, especially with that famed tan, but he carries it off with considerable aplomb. In his cape, black suit and white tie, he makes for a suave, dignified, commanding figure at odds with modern day New York. Well...».
