Dracula: Dead and Loving It Movie Review 1995

King of the spoofs Nielsen takes on the title role as the ever-loving, if clumsy, Count who still enjoys necking--particularly with luscious damsels in distress, Lucy (Anthony) and Mina (Yasbeck). And he's still got his bug-eating minion Renfield (MacNichol) and egomaniacal vampire-hunter Van Helsing (Brooks) around. As usual, Brooks throws everything possible on the screen, hoping some schtick will stick (not very much does).
