Dracula: Dead and Loving It -- A comic reinvention of the Bela Lugosi classic about a Transylvanian vampire who works his evil spell on a perplexed group of Londoners.

A comic reinvention of the Bela Lugosi classic about a Transylvanian vampire who works his evil spell on a perplexed group of Londoners. Mel Brooks's Count is a pratfalling evil prince of a guy who believes in long relationships. Brooks portrays vampire hunter Van Helsing, who won't give a bloodsucker an even break.

Leslie Nielsen stars as Count Dracula in Mel Brooks's delightful send-up of the decades-old Transylvanian tale. When a lawyer (Peter MacNicol) shows up at the vampire's doorstep, he falls prey to his charms and joins him in his search for fresh blood. Enter Dr. van Helsing (Brooks), who may be the only one able to vanquish the count. But does he stand a chance -- even if this Dracula is a little more klutzy and ditzy than one would expect?
