Dracula and Son
Dracula père et fils
With angry villagers driving them away from their castle in Transylvania, Dracula and his son Ferdinand head abroad. Dracula ends up in London, England where he becomes a horror movie star exploiting his vampire status. His son, meanwhile, is ashamed of his roots and ends up a night watchman in Paris, France where he falls for a girl. Naturally, tensions arise when father and son are reunited and both take a liking to the same girl.
Why it matters
A quirky genre mashup that blends vampire lore with 1970s European comedy sensibilities, offering a rare comedic spin on Dracula’s legacy.
- An affectionate parody that toys with vampire tropes before the postmodern wave took hold — think Transylvania meets fish-out-of-water farce.
- Offers a glimpse into 1970s French-Italian co-productions where horror and comedy collided in offbeat ways.
- Less about scares, more about character-driven awkwardness and generational clash — a curiosity for fans of vampire cinema’s lighter side.
- Perfect for viewers intrigued by how classic monsters get domesticated and humanized across cultures and decades.
