Written by Johannes Brahms
positively reeled in laughter watching it. I do not understand how
this movie only achieves a 4.5 rating.
Among the many memorable moments there are several downright hysterical gags: when Dracula slips in the bat poop
trying to walk down the stairs, when Harker drives the stake and is
drenched in blood, when Dracula rises from his coffin and bashes
his head on the chandelier...the list goes on and on.
Also, Harvey Korman was extremely funny as the bumbling,
blubbering Dr Seward; as was Mel Brooks as Dr Van Helsing, and
Leslie Nielson as Dracula.
I give it 9/10.
