Graf Dracula reist von seinem Schloß in den Karpaten nach Italien, um dort eine Frau zum Heiraten zu finden. In der Hoffnung, daß der italienische Adel auch noch genügend Jungfrauen zur Verfügung hat, quartiert sich der Vampir bei einer verarmten Adels-Familie ein.

"ANDY WARHOLS DRACULA von Paul Morrissey ist eine krude Mischung aus politischem Vortrag, Blue Movie und Horrorfilm. 'I play for absurdity, not shock', äußerte der Regisseur, der mit dieser (letzten) 'ernsthaften' Vampirgeschichte des Kinos die Klischees der früheren Hammer-Produktionen demontierte. Das Grand Guignol des Theaters, im Kino auf die Höhe seiner Zeit gebracht." (--- Falter, Wien)

"BLOOD FOR DRACULA – filmed back-to-back with FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN at Rome's famed Cinecittà studios and featuring indelible performances by Udo Kier and Joe Dallesandro – features a unique take on its respective legend, and represents a bizarre conjunction of Euro Horror, the spirit of Warhol's Factory, and the sensibility of director Paul Morrissey.
The film was marketed upon its initial release as ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA, despite Warhol having little or nothing to do with their production. The authorship of the film has been further muddied by Italian filmmaker Antonio Margheriti's credit as co-director for the Italian releases (an attribution most likely arranged in order to qualify the films as "Italian" for tax purposes). Nevertheless, it seems self-evident that it is predominantly the work of Morrissey, who had been, at the very least, a key collaborator in much of the filmic output of Warhol's Factory, had achieved wider recognition for the trilogy comprising FLESH (1968), TRASH (1970), and HEAT (1972), and was soon to end his association with Warhol entirely."

"In this singularly hilarious take on Bram Stoker's vampire, Count Dracula is played by the inimitable Udo Kier. BLOOD FOR DRACULA is a modern, daring, and outrageous version that breathes new life into an age-old tale." (--- Film at Lincoln Center)
