This is an ad for a parody of Dracula starring George Hamilton as the Count. This ad is from May 1979.


This is an ad for a 1995 spoof by Mel Brooks starring Leslie Nielsen. Needless to say, it was not as successful as Young Frankenstein.

See the trailer for Love at First Bite:

Dracula - Dec 22, 1952


This is a newspaper ad for a 1952 stage production of Dracula.  This particular stage production was the same adaptation of Stoker's novel that Bela Lugosi was starring in around 1927 before he was cast as Dracula for the 1931 movie.


This is an ad for a double featuring of Universal's Frankenstein and Dracula. The ad is from 1956. I would have loved to have seen this double feature.
