Although Count Dracula (David Niven) has plenty of victims, he's grown lonely, and wants nothing more than to bring back to life his great love, Countess Vampira (Teresa Graves). The trouble is, he needs a very rare blood type in order to revive her, and, despite having opened up his castle to tourists, none of them is a match. It's not until a group of Playboy models visits that he finds it, but, when he administers it to Countess Vampira, her skin color changes from white to black.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 10/23/2004
1/4
There are laughs, but they come either from isolated lines of dialog or from the sheer incoherence of the plot. There are thrills -- or, more accurately, there is one thrill, a fairly boring one as horror-film thrills go. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Jul 23
1.5/4
The creators of Vampira quickly renamed their movie Old Dracula and even promoted it with the tagline, “If You Liked Young Frankenstein, You’ll Love Old Dracula.” Let’s just say it was a pathetic ploy that fooled no one. Go to Full Review Ruth Batchelor Los Angeles Free Press 11/21/2019
It seems these film makers are trying for comedy, and they made a full-length film out of what Bob Hope would have turned down as a bad skit 20 years ago. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/01/2022 What the **** were you thinking, making a ****-*** Dracula parody that is unfunny, and unoriginal!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 07/20/2019 A British horror-comedy originally titled Vampira. Count Dracula is played by David Niven (My Man Godfrey, Pink Panther, Casino Royale, Around the World in 80 Days, etc). His girlfriend falls ill so he locates the special blood he needs to heal her by harvesting it from a variety of Playmates. Because the blood came from a Black woman, it turns his girlfriend Black. Desperate to return her to her original race, he travels to the hip West End of London in order to harvest blood from more hotties. He doesn't want to be seen out-and-about with his girlfriend in her current state. No scares and the comedy appeared in a handful of one-liners. Dull, despite being very politically-incorrect (twist-ending was spot-on, though). See more Jaime L 02/13/2014 Although it still delivers laughs and has a charm to it, there is some lack in cohesion. See more 08/01/2012 And I'm being generous. See more 03/29/2011 Totalt oväntat en av de roligaste filmer man kan se, om man är på rätt humör. See more 10/07/2010 70's quite entertaining horror comedy. See more Read all reviews
