    • Trivia
      The character of the gypsy woman Madame Ouspenskaya, who was portrayed by Mel Brooks' wife actress Anne Bancroft, was named after Maria Ouspenskaya, who played the character of Maleva in both The Wolf Man (1941) and Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943).
    • Goofs
      The two vampiresses in bed with Renfield are clearly barefoot, yet when they lumber out of the room, the soundtrack suggests they are wearing heavy shoes.
    • Quotes

      [Dracula is outside Mina's room]

      Dracula: [to the maid] Essie... Essie... Your eyelids are growing heavy You will sleep... sleep.

      [Essie nods off to sleep]

      Dracula: Mina... Mina, open your eyes!

      [she does]

      Dracula: Arise, Mina.

      [she does]

      Dracula: Walk to the door.

      [Mina opens a door, and goes inside]

      Dracula: Mina... you are in the closet. Open the door, and come out.

      [she does]

      Dracula: Now walk to the Terrace Door. Watch out for the foot...

      [too late! Mina trips over the footstool, and goes flying]

      Dracula: Stool. Stand up.

      [Essie and Mina both rise]

      Dracula: Not you. Sit!

      [Mina sits]

      Dracula: No, not you, *you* sit.

      [Essie sits]

      Dracula: *You* stand.

      [both stand]

      Dracula: No! Sit!

      [both sit]

      Dracula: No, you stand!

      [both stand]

      Dracula: You walk to the Terrace Door and you go back to sleep! *Watch out!*

      [Essie and Mina bump into one another and fall to the floor. Dracula throws his arms in frustration]

    8/10
    Stake on target
    Mel Brooks's scattergun approach to comedy has a number of misses. Spaceballs was OK at parodying its genre. This film is far more sophisticated and well played.

    The successful jokes are on the culture of Victorain times with references to an engaged couple who after 10 years have suddenly held hands being condemned as immoral, prostitutes, lechers and the like.

    Into these cultural and successful observations Brook's introduces Leslie Nielson doing a great impression of Bela Lugosi's Dracula with the difference that his powers are incompetent.

    Seeing the Lugosi movie will give you the basis to appreciate the sophistication of this film.
