Director Roman Polanski co-stars with and directs wife Sharon Tate in their only collaboration. That's one reason this box office bomb, which came out less than two years before Tate was murdered by Charles Manson's crew, has picked up a following. [08 Oct 2004, p.4E]
Ferdy Mayne is the menacing Dracula, and Sharon Tate, lady in question, looks particularly nice in her bath. Alfie Bass, the innkeeper; Iain Quarrier as the count’s effeminate son, who has some fangs all his own; Terry Downes, the toothy hunchback castle handyman (who might be Quasimodo returned), and Jessie Robbins, innkeeper’s spouse, lend proper support.

Before Mel Brooks, Roman Polanski was the first to think of mixing horror and comedy, with no pretensions other than fun. The odyssey of two vampire hunters, doomed to something worse than failure, will not be a classic but it is a good example of sardonic humor. There have been worse things, yes.

I hate to say the word, but I think this film does fall into the overrated category.
It has a style that never fits properly and where it's supposed to be funny, it never is.
Disappointing.
