History Film / BloodForDracula

''Blood For Dracula'' is a 1974 horror movie that was filmed alongside it's companion piece ''Film/FleshForFrankenstein'', which was released a year earlier. Both films were written and directed by Paul Morrissey, a frequent collaborator of Andy Warhol who allowed his name to be attached to their alternate titles but otherwise had nothing to do with them. The films also starred Joe Dallesandro, another Warhol collaborator, and Udo Kier. Both films dealt with themes of sexuality, classism, and immortality in a tongue-in-cheek manner, using classic horror figures of the 19th century. In this case, {{Dracula}}.

Also known as ''AndyWarhol's Dracula''.

* AnythingThatMoves / DepravedBiSexual: The two middle daughters are not picky when it comes to sleeping with Mario, or even each other.

* YouFailHistoryForever: The movie is supposed to be set sometime in 1915 but Dracula and Anton seem to have an easy time driving from Romania to Italy despite the deep militaristic and political turmoil that would have been going on at the time.

* AlasPoorVillain: Though not quite a FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire, Dracula is probably one of the more sympathetic characters in the film, so we feel sorry for him when he dies.

Dracula, played by Kier, is dying. He clings to life and needs blood in order to survive. The only problem is, in this version, vampires must feed on the blood of virgins in order to live. His assistant suggests that the Count move to Italy where, due to the strict religious culture, there should be plenty of virgins to choose from. They pack up their belongings and move in with a family with four daughters, ready for marriage with at least three of them claiming to be virgins. The Count befriends their parents and promises to marry one of the girls but soon finds out the girls are not as pure as they say they are. It seems that Mario the Socialist farmhand has been sleeping with two of the girls. With the fourth daughter having been previously married and not a virgin, Dracula sets his sights on the youngest of the girls with Mario quickly unraveling the mystery.

* AnythingThatMoves / DepravedBiSexual: The two middle daughters are not picky when it comes to sleping with Mario, or even each other.

* AuthorAvatar: Mario is a proud socialist who has the hammer-and-sickle in his bedroom. He often gives monologues rallying against the upper class. Morrissey had similar leanings.
* BarBrawl: Dracula's assistant Anton gets into one near the beginning which includes a {{cameo}} by RomanPolanski of all people.

* DeathBySex: A {{deconstruction}} before the trope fully took affect in horror movies. Dracula only feeds on the blood of virgins, placing them in danger. Meanwhile, tasting the blood of women who have had sex is deadly for Dracula, meaning this trope is in effect for the villain. In yet another twist, the daughters would have been safe from the Count if they were more honest about their sexual history instead of claiming to be virgins.

* GrayAndGreyMorality: Dracula is not all that evil. He's simply very ill and wants to survive. The humans, meanwhile, are selfish and abusive to each other.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The typicla way to deal with vampires.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: The two middle daughters to a certain extent. They think nothing of stripping outside in full view of the entire plantation and while they do have sex with Mario, they believe it doesn't count since he is of a lower class. Therefore, when Dracula asks if they're virgins, they claim they are. They firmly believe they're telling the truth.

* KillEmAll: By the end of the film, most of the main cast is dead. A few of whom, are now vampires.
* LargeHam: Kier as usual.
--> "The blood of these whores is killing me!"
* LesbianVampire: The two lesbian vampires were lesbians before they were turned into vampires but otherwise, they fit the bill.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: The movie takes place in Italy but it's in English so it's expected that no one would have an accurate accent. Most of the cast use their natural voices but two actors stand out: Udo Kier who has a hilariously thick German accent and Joe Dellesandro who has a hilariously thick New York accent.

* SympathyForTheDevil: The oldest sister falls in love with the Count.

* TomatoSurprise: One of the daughters realizes Dracula's true nature when she notices he has no reflection in the mirror.

* VillainousIncest: The two middle daughters aren't the nicest girls around and they are okay with having sex with one another, even inviting their younger sister to join them.

* YouFailHistoryForever: The movie is supposed to be set sometime in the 20s but Dracula and Anton seem to have an easy time driving from Romania to Italy despite the deep militaristic and political turmoil that would have been going on at the time.

* AnythingThatMoves: The two middle daughters are not picky when it comes to sleping with Mario, or even each other. They even venture into DepravedBiSexual territory by the end.

* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: The vamped-out daughters are still in the house by the time the credits roll. Since they had previously tried to rape their own sister, it's not a good idea to keep them around.]]

* AuthorAvatar: Mario is a proud socialist who has the hammer-and-sickle in his bedroom. He often gives monologues rallying against the upper class. Morrissey was also socialist.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: The movie takes place in Italy but it's in English so it's expected that no one would have an accurate accent. Most of the cast use British English except Udo Kier who has a hilariously thick German accent and Joe Dellesandro who has a hilariously thick New York accent.

Most of the cast speak with a British accent except Udo Kier who has a hilariously thick German accent and Joe Dellesandro who has a hilariously thick New York accent.

* VomitDiscretionShot: Averted. When Dracula tastes the blood of non-virgins, he goes into convulsions and starts vomiting for quite a long time. The camera lingers on him the entire time.

* DeathBySex: A {{deconstruction}} before the trope fully took affect in horror movies. Dracula only feeds on the blood of virgins, placing them in danger. Meanwhile, tasting the blood of women who have had sex is deadly toward Dracula, meaning this trope is in effect for the villain. In yet another twist, the daughters would have been safe from the Count if they were mor ehonest about their sexual history instead of claiming to be virgins.

* VirginSacrifice: Vampires need their blood.

* VampiresAreSexGods: Highly averted since Dracula is sickly and in no way attractive. The only reason why the girls want to marry him is due to his wealth.

Udo Kier is without a doubt the sickliest of vampires in any director's interpretation of the Bram Stoker tale. Count

* ValuesDissonance: The middle daughters sleep with Mario but don't consider it real sex since he's not wealthy.

* AnythingThatMoves: Two of the daughters are not picky when it comes to sleping with Mario, or even each other.
* AntiHero: Mario is abusive to the daughters to the point where he forces himself on one of them before throwing her naked outside his cabin. Despite this, he shows sympathy for the dying Dracula (until he discovers he's a vampire), and tries to protect the remaining daughters. Of course [[spoiler: protecting the youngest daughters means raping her so that she will no longer be a virgin, thus "spoiling" her for Dracula.]]
* AuthorAvatar: Mario is a proud socialist who has the hammer-and-sickle in his bedroom. Morrissey was also socialist.

* JerkassVictim: The two daughters Dracula initially goes after are stuck-up, materialistic, and have such contempt for the lower class that they don't even
