My Five Top Dracula Comedies.
Tumblr media
In 1897, Bram stoker wrote a novel about a Vampiric count who comes to England in search of fresh victims. The book revolutionized horror, and has been filmed several times. Some of the takes on the character have been comedies, and of those, I thought it might be fun to include the five I’ve enjoyed the most. I could have included Grandpa from the Munsters here, but the Munsters is deserving of it’s own blog, and I’ll cover them in the future. So with Halloween here, I thought I’d start with my favorite of them.
Tumblr media
1. Love at First Bite (1979)
After “Young Frankenstein”, my favorite horror Comedy. In this comedy, George Hamilton plays a sympathetic Count Dracula, who is forced to come to America, when the Communist party, decides to turn his castle into a training camp for gymnasts.The film is perfectly cast. Artie Johnson is in top form as Renfield, and Richard Benjaman has never been better as Dr. Rosenberg-well it was Van Helsing, but the character said he changed his name for “professional reasons”. Susan St. James is funny as Dracula’s love interest Cindy Sondheim, a woman who is trying to accept being a liberated woman, but deep down wants an old fashioned love. This film is very funny, but also very politically incorrect. Like Blazing Saddles, this is the kind of film that could not be made today. Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Jewish people, and gays, are all poked fun of. We can’t have that today! Reeeeeee!
Tumblr media
2. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
One of the best horror comedies ever made, this would mark a turning point for the Universal Horror films, when they went from serious to comedy, and then back again with sci-fy and the Creature of the black Lagoon series. With so many having experienced the actual horrors of war, the idea of the mad scientist creating havoc in his crumbling castle, was becoming quaint in comparison. Dr. Frankenstein had noting on Dr. Mengele.
A big reason this film works, is the monsters are allowed to be played seriously, and the comedy is largely left to the comics. We also have the return of Bela Lugosi as Dracula, which he still was in top form. He plays the count with gleeful evil, and it was good to have at last one more chance to see him as the Count.
Tumblr media
3. Dracula Dead and Loving It (1995)
I have come to love this film, but when I originally saw it. I was expecting a Dracula comedy as funny as Young Frankenstein, or Love at first Bite. It was seeing it later on, and no longer expecting it to be as funny as Young Frankenstein, that I began to enjoy it as the comedy it was. 
There is honestly a lot to love about this movie. It was deliberately filmed to look like the old sound stage bound horror films, everyone is putting on an exaggerated  British hack-cent, except Leslie Nielsen, who is giving us his best Transylvania hack-cent. The sets look pretty good. Unlike Keannu reeves who struggled like an actor in a high school stage play portraying Jonathan Harker in Coppola’s “Dracula”, Stephen Webber looks like he’s having a fun time playing that same character.  Peter MacNicol is hysterical as Renfield, While Harvey Korman bases his portrayal of Dr. Seward, who runs the sanitarium next to the ruined Carfax Abbey that Dracula purchased, on Nigel Bruce. This parody pretty much follows the famous Hamilton Deane stage play, that Lugosi’s version was based on, with nods to Coppola and Hammer tossed in.
Tumblr media
4. Vampira (Old Dracula) 1974
This was a film I saw as a teenager, during it’s initial released, at the Eagle Rock Mall. I was a fan of David Niven, so I enjoyed it. David Niven is in fine form playing a sinister predatory vampire, who has found renting out his castle for tours, and “borrowing” blood from guests, has allowed him to enjoy a quiet life of no longer having to hunt for his food, and helps pay to maintain his castle, His only need at this point is to resurrect hi love, who has been in slumber for half a century. As Dracula, David Niven plays the part with his usual wit and elegance. Teresa Graves, plays the title role of Vampira, his mate that becomes black because of a blood transfusion, is also attractive and is a lot of fun in this film. I find the film is an entertaining 1970s British Horror film, but a lot of people find it disappointing, and some out right hate the film.
Part of this probably has to do with the marketing of the film in the States. Because of the popularity of “Young Frankenstein” some marketing genius thought it was a good idea to rename it “Old Dracula”. The half sheet poster I own even claims. “If you liked ‘Young Frankenstein’ you’ll love Old Dracula”. The two comedies represent different kinds of comedy films. If you liked Young Frankenstein, there’s a likelihood you wouldn’t like this film at all, and unlike Young Frankenstein, this film has gotten some hatred. But since I went into the film, to see a David Niven comedy, I wasn’t disappointed, and enjoyed my recent re-watch of this film. 
Tumblr media
5. Hotel Transylvania (2012)
It’s hard to believe that I would enjoy any film by Adam Sandler, but I found myself enjoying this film, and it’s sequels. It probably has to do with Sandler playing a very sympathetic Dracula, who wants to raise his daughter without putting her at risk from the humans who destroyed his home, and killed his wife, so I could genuinely enjoy the film. Adam Sandler brings along several of his friends (David Spade, Steve Buscemi  Kevin James) to play the monsters, while Selena Gomez is good playing Dracula’s daughter “Mavis”. The film being direction by  Genndy Tartakovsky, made it a very watchable film.

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem
DEBUT 1975
PERFORMERS
Dr Teeth - Jim Henson
Animal - Frank Oz
Floyd Pepper - Jerry Nelson
Janice - Richard Hunt
Zoot - Dave Goelz
(Later)
Lips - Steve Whitmire
Clifford - Kevin Clash
Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem are the house band on The Muppet Show. They mostly stick to rock music, but they're capable of playing other styles, including jazz and (unwillingly) classical. Although Dr. Teeth is the leader, he is not the only one to provide lead vocals. Floyd Pepper is often a lead singer on songs, and Janice is lead singer on a handful of songs.
They drive around in a brightly-painted bus with psychedelic swirls and colors.
In an edition of Ask Henson.com, Karen Falk responded to a question about the origins of the Mayhem band:
“Music was always an important part of Jim Henson's work. He had a strong interest in all types and had an eclectic record library. When he began writing proposals and creating concepts for The Muppet Show in the late 1960s, they always included a house band that was to appear in each episode. At that time, Jim had a strong interest in the counter-culture movement (as evidenced by his experimental film Youth '68) and sought to reflect that in the composition of the band. One proposal from about 1970 says that the band would, "...do songs like "Sunshine" from Hair. In fact, they are all dressed to out-hair the Hair cast."
The Electric Mayhem as we know it first appeared in 1975 on the Muppet Show pilot Sex and Violence. A page of ideas for the show written by Jim describes the band this way: "Rock act - far-out, elaborate weird equipment, big amps...".”
