Los vampiros los prefieren gorditos

1974 ·1h 35m · ★ 6.3 (21)

Count Dracula travels to Buenos Aires with his secretary and stays in a very special hotel, where several mobsters are also staying.

Why it matters

A quirky blend of vampire mythos and Argentine crime chaos that offers a rare glimpse into 1970s Latin American horror comedy.

  • An offbeat Dracula outing that swaps Transylvania for Buenos Aires, mixing gothic tropes with urban grit.
  • Leaning into camp and local color, it’s a cult curiosity for fans of regional horror oddities and genre mash-ups.
  • Mobsters and monsters collide in a hotel setting that’s part haunted house, part crime thriller playground.
  • Not a polished classic, but a charmingly bizarre artifact for viewers who appreciate horror’s global eccentricities and low-budget inventiveness.
