    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This was the tenth and final movie in which Sir Christopher Lee played a vampire Count. Contrary to what the title implied (imposed by the producers after the film had been shot just as 'Père et fils', literally "Father and son"), not once the character was identified nor portrayed as Dracula.
    • Alternate versions
      Original French version ran 96 minutes. 1979 USA theatrical version (co-produced by Bob Dorian) was heavily cut (to 78 minutes), severely re-edited, and dubbed into English using joke voices and deliberately comical dialogue (similar to "What's Up Tiger Lily?")

    Something different, something rare, something unique
    This is not a movie I would consider terrible, since it stars the great Christopher Lee. I was introduced to this movie in a different and strange way, I picked up a copy at a outdoor trading market called "Traders Village" in Fort Worth, Texas in the early 90s when I was probably 12 or 13. I had a thing for the supernatural and in particular vampire movies, so I purchased it on VHS for $3 or so. I had no idea that this was a dubbed foreign movie, but being a young teenager was captivated to watch it multiple times because of the nudity, mainly,at first. Later on through learning who Christopher Lee was, and seeing his characters portrayed in many Hammer horror films, I subsequently returned later to search for what movie I had seen in my youth through nostalgia. Unbeknownst to me at this young age, I had no idea who Christopher Lee was but it probably subconsciously figured into my love for him as an actor in later life, watching his earlier films. LOL. Finding Dracula and Son somewhat difficult to locate, I have ended up here on IMDb, reading the history of the release through the comments section. Though this film may be bad, I look upon it as being special to me and it holds a nostalgic place in my mind and I will always be fond of it.I would recommend watching this just because Christopher Lee is in it, and also it is actually his unique,and last performance as Dracula.
