It's just chock full of crazy, with enhancements on vampire lore, such as that deal about the staking not being effective unless the staker prays, which of course our boy Paul isn't willing to do. <br /><br />Dracula's hissing face as he grills the Larry Fine looking priest about who the heck added the cross to his front door, the beer-glass and broomstick game they played in the tavern, and the energetic finale...all add up to a lot of good memories, and I try to see this one whenever I can.<br /><br />Did you ever see the tongue-in-cheek movie posters? They had taglines like "Dracula has Risen from the Grave...obviously" and "Boy does he give a hickey" next to a closeup of a bitten throat. Oh, those 60's!Johnny Bacardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051009739174204952noreply@blogger.com
