Dracula: Dead and Loving It

Based On the book by Bram Stoker

Dracula: Dead and Loving It is a 1995 supernatural horror comedy film directed by Mel Brooks, from a screenplay by Brooks, Rudy De Luca, and Steve Haberman, and based on a story by De Luca and Haberman. The film stars Leslie Nielsen as Dracula and Brooks as Van Helsing, with Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Amy Yasbeck, Lysette Anthony, Harvey Korman, and Anne Bancroft in supporting roles. Although the film is primarily a parody of the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, it follows the 1931 film Dracula in its deviations from the novel. It also parodies, among other films, The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), while the visual style and production values are reminiscent of the Hammer Horror films.
