History Film / BloodForDracula

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

* DeathBySex: An inversion 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.

* KillEmAll: By the end of the film, most of the main cast is dead. A few of them are now vampires.

* AnAxeToGrind: Mario's weapon of choice against Dracula is his wood axe.

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

''Blood For Dracula'' is a 1974 horror movie that was filmed alongside its companion piece ''Film/FleshForFrankenstein'', which was released a year earlier. Both films were written and directed by Paul Morrissey, a frequent collaborator of Creator/AndyWarhol; Warhol 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}}.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The movie is supposed to be set sometime in 1917, but Dracula and Anton seem to have an easy time driving from Romania to Italy despite the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne deep militaristic and political turmoil that would have been going on at the time]].
** Also, as noted below, Mario has the [[HistoryOfTheUSSR Hammer and Sickle]] in his room, a symbol that would not have existed at this time.

* TheBadGuyWins: Arguably.

* DirtyCommunist: Played with, in that Mario is the closest thing this movie has to a hero, but Mario is still an abusive thug [[spoiler: and rapist]] who is arguably less sympathetic than Dracula.

* InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: Andy Warhol's name was slapped on the alternate titles of both films but he had little to do with them.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: The two middle daughters to a certain extent, although their 'innocence' is a semantic point. 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. They seem to have similar opinions while having sex with each other. Therefore, when Dracula asks if they're virgins, they claim that they are, and firmly believe they're telling the truth.
* JerkassVictim: The two daughters Dracula initially goes after are selfish, materialistic, and have such contempt for the lower classes that they don't even count having sex with them as real sex, which leads to Dracula mistaking them for virgins.
** In fact, when [[spoiler: Dracula turns them into vampires, they try to rape their younger sister.]] It is unclear if they did this because they were BrainwashedAndCrazy at this point, or if they simply did it ForTheEvulz.

* MarketBasedTitle: In some markets, the previous film was called ''Andy Warhol's Frankenstein'' in order to cash in on his fame while ''Blood For Dracula'' was given the similar title ''Andy Warhol's Dracula''. Morrissey would later regret this since many people believed Warhol wrote and directed these films.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: The movie takes place in Italy but it's in English so it's expected that no one would have an accurate accent. And for the most part, they don't. Of particular note are Udo Kier who has a hilariously thick German accent and Joe Dellesandro who has a hilariously thick New York accent.

* RichBitch: The two middle daughters once again.

* UnequalPairing: The wealthy sisters and their farmhand. Rather than being romantic, though, the difference of class means that the sisters don't believe the sex has any impact on their virginity. (This comes back to bite them later on.)

* DirtyCommunist: Averted in that Mario is the closest thing this movie has to a hero.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Despite the large amounts of nudity and sex in this movie, Morrissey was a staunch critic of the free-love movement and this film was meant to show the results of such debauchery.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: Incest, insanity, and apathetic materialism run rampant in the family.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: The two middle daughters to a certain extent, although their 'innocence' is a semantic point. 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. They seem to have similar opinions while having sex with each other. Therefore, when Dracula asks if they're virgins, they claim they are. They firmly believe they're telling the truth.

* RichBitch: The two daughters once again.
* SecretRelationship: The sisters' relationship with Mario is a secret to everyone else. By proxy, so is the relationship they have with each other.

* UnequalPairing: The wealthy sisters and their farmhand.

* 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. She's not into it, to her credit.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: 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 [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne deep militaristic and political turmoil that would have been going on at the time]].

* AssholeVictim: When the Count preys on the two middle daughters or when Mario abuses them, it's easy to not feel too much sympathy since they are basically sociopaths.

* DawsonCasting: Mario and the three youngest daughters are meant to be teenagers but are obviously in their mid to late twenties.

* BarBrawl: Dracula's assistant Anton gets into one near the beginning, which includes a {{cameo}} by RomanPolanski of all people.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: 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 [[WorldWarOne deep militaristic and political turmoil that would have been going on at the time]].

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The father, played by VittorioDeSica of all people, completely misses this about Dracula's name. He thinks the '-ula' suffix is charming and intriguing. Being one of the few genuine Italians in the cast, he really ought to [[TheCaligula know better]].

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 next door to a family with four daughters, three of them ready for marriage and claiming to be virgins. The Count befriends their parents and promises to marry one of the girls but soon finds out that not all the girls are 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 (presumably?) not a virgin, Dracula sets his sights on the youngest of the girls with Mario quickly unraveling the mystery.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampires need virgin blood in order to survive. Also, they can function in daylight and are not harmed by crucifixes, although he seems uncomfortable with both.
