Blood for Dracula (1974)

  • 701 W Sheridan Ave Oklahoma City, OK 73102 (map)

Commonly referred to as Andy Warhol’s Dracula, this subversive rendition of the Dracula tale follows an utterly pathetic Count Dracula, played by the late Udo Kier, moving to pre-Fascist Italy after facing extinction in Transylvania. He can only drink the blood of virgins, and where better to find it than Catholic Italy? Unbeknowst to him, Italy is undergoing a social revolution, where men and women cast off old ideas of sexuality and gender roles. Described as everything from “aesthetically pleasing” to “sickening junk,” this film is a creative project that could only have come from the minds and bodies of Andy Warhol’s Factory collective in the 1970s. OFX partner River Lunsford hosts this wacky tale, full of blood, communism, and some…interesting (problematic) takes on the vampire subgenre.
