Dracula: Dead And Loving It
Mel Brooks, the unhinged movie parodist whose Blazing Saddles sent us Westward ho-ho-ho and whose Young Frankenstein electrified with mad-scientist nuts and jolts, now stokes the Bram Stoker vein with the comedy transfusion: Dracula Dead and Loving It. Leslie Nielsen plays the title role, and what's not to love?
His Count is a pratfalling evil prince of a guy who believes in long relationships. Brooks portrays vampire hunter Van Helsing who won't give a bloodsucker an even break. Stakes, garlic, mirrors and more - they're all part of vampire lore. And along with top supporting players Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol and Harvey Korman, they're all part of Brooks' tricks and shticks assuring that from dusk to dawn, the hilarity's on.

one of my all time fav's - tonyt
If you're looking for a movie to keep you entertained and on the edge of your seats, this is it! A thoroughly enjoyable movie with good character development and some cool special effects.
Overall this movie has great acting as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone.Pretty Awful - ArcAngelMD
What a dud. It is an absolute horrible film, yet it is still on my mind nearly daily because of the psychiatrist who only prescribes enemas!
This should of been an amazing spoof, but the writing is beyond childish. Good performances by the leads though.No Garlic, please - movie_goer
If you can handle spoofs, and goofs. This movie's not scary indeed its the opposite-Hilarious idiotic screw ball, humor! As dracula (Leslie Nielson) he's feared by people in europe,Until he ships off to UK. With skeptics of Folk lore and Myths having a vampire roam around is out of the question crazy! until people begin dropping like flys. Neilson is charming as the count, it's only a matter of time before people put the blood sucker clues together!
