Let me say at the launch that it’s the perfect (and required) companion-piece to Mel’s contain classic, “Young Frankenstein.”

That said, I have to admit – this movie grew on me.
When it first came out in 1995 I was quiet in the military and, though a large fan of Mel’s films, I didn’t have time to go discover it. Given it’s evident lack of theatrical success, it was available on VHS shortly there after and I rented it from a local video store.

At first, it was silly, but not powerful else.
However, my local renter gave me two weeks to review it and, as I watched with more attention to detail, I grew to enjoy it’s silly genius.
Others have written that it’s a salute to Universal’s 1937 classic “Dracula.” It’s all of that, but worthy more. It mocks elements of Frank Langella’s sexy 1979 “Dracula,” but the most distinct parody is Francis Ford Coppola’s distinguished more pretentious “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.”
Much of the dialogue is lifted, verbatim, from Universal’s “Dracula,” but given a novel twist. For example the theater scene where Leslie Nielsen, as Dracula, attempts to contact Dr. Seward (played by Harvey Korman) and, before entering their opera box, instructs the usherette (played by Leslie Sachs) to “remember nothing of what I have said” – she takes him at his word and throws inaugurate the curtains to only peek at Seward & company and wonder blankly why she’s there!
Another bit of droll trivia is the celebrated stake scene. Steven Weber, playing Jonathon Harker, drives a stake through Lucy Westenra’s (portrayed by Lysette Anthony) heart. In the production, no one told Steven that gallons and gallons of groundless blood would erupt – and it shows! You can actually study Steven struggle to remember his lines and go on with the exhibit.
One other bit of trivia – if there any Cub Scout Leaders out there who’ve seen this movie, check me out on this. In the Ball Room scene where Mel Brooks (playing Dr. Van Helsing) is decked out in tuxedo, isn’t the medal he’s wearing on his lapel a “Tiger Cub Leader” scout medal?
See it – Prefer it – Appreciate it. It’s very nearly the last of a genre of humor that can be enjoyed by every generation of your family. From the youngest to the oldest, all will gather a reason to laugh.
As with “Young Frankenstein” you sort of need to have seen the unique Universal films (if not the Francis Ford Copolla version) to gain all the jokes. This might be the common vampire movie for pre-teen kids. It obvious is in my house. Leslie Nielsen has the Dracula role nailed in what is his best performance outside of the Police Squad movies (George Hamilton, eat your heart out) . Mel Brooks is slightly over the top, but since when is that news? You have to go befriend to “Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein” to bag something this amusing attractive vampires.
