Dracula AD 2023

Johnny Alucard has spent a century preparing for this moment. He has befriended the friend-group of Jessica Van Helsing, gaining their trust. He convinces them all to assemble for a date with the devil. Everything is in place to bring his lord and master Count Dracula back to the undead. Revenge on the Van Helsings is imminent.

And then everyone texts him last minute to cancel.

🩸DRACULA A.D. 1972 (1972)🩸

Dracula! But transported into the modern era! 1972!

Easily my favorite movie in the Hammer Dracula series and one of my favorite Hammer Horror movies in general.

With Hammer declining by this era they made some really silly efforts to keep Dracula interesting by putting the series through different subgenres: contemporary youth, espionage/political intrigue, and even kung fu. While poorly received at the time for its attempt to bring Dracula into the modern era, I think it’s aged very well as a fun and ridiculous portrayal of stereotypical early 70s “dangerous” youth. It’s got psychedelic drug use, houseparty-crashing, and Van Helsing’s hippie granddaughter telling him his research into vampirism is “totally weird, man. Way out” and “not one of my hang-ups” lol. Plus it’s got a little homoeroticism—as any decent vampire movie has. My favorite scene in the whole thing involves the main non-Drac antagonist, Johnny Alucard (yeah), baring his neck for Dracula to bite while throwing his head back in what I can truly only describe as Slutty Vampiric Ecstasy.

An extremely fun movie with a really great (I dare I say- groovy) soundtrack. I will beg people to watch this one haha.

For some reason Johnny is turned with one bite offscreen, so I’m just going to assume Dracula tore his throat open to punish him for screaming, bitching, and begging to be turned.

By the way he throws his head back like a whore I doubt he’d mind.
