This vampire spoof is very happening. I don't usually care too much for the bloodsucker flicks cause there's too damn many out there. If it wasn't made by Hammer, I doubt I'll like it, but I loved this funny assed parody movie. I really don't think the parody was the only intent here, but the spots do work well. The whole movie is funny and fun to watch throughout. The best thing about this film is that there is tons of nudity, and I mean the attractive kind to mind you. Tittys bounce around so much in this film it's almost jaw dropping, maybe pants dropping for some of ya. Anyway, this film has a great looking castle as the setting for most of the fun and the atmosphere is really cool in spite of the comedy. It's the old inherit the castle from a dead relative storyline as actress Betty Williams (who is very hot in her dual role here) gets her very own gothic palace from great grandma vampire. She is also the splitting image of her long undead great granny who still runs around scantily clad. This cause some wonderful fun as the two give the poor old caretaker a fit trying to catch up with who's the new Baroness and who's really a vamp. Poor old fellow just can't seem to catch miss vampire at the right time to drive in that stake. Meanwhile, she's getting around pretty well for an old broad and turning all the men she eats, I mean meets, into blood drinkers. Mix in a few schoolgirls (and their lesbian head mistress) turned undead, a silly vampire monk, and some truly priceless dubbing and you will soon find yourself in for one crazy ride through Transylvania. Hell, Count Dracula even shows up as the man of the year at the annual convention of vampires where everyone partys like a bat out of hell, and nude for the most part are the ladies. The identity switching becomes very fun towards the end during the vampire orgy party and of course we get that happy ending. This film was nothing like I expected and 100% better than I would have wished for. Find it for the nudity if nothing else, but you really should see this if you like vampire movies of the older variety. It would have been cool to have more blood, but it works without it
