Plot teaser:
Count Dracula emerges from his coffin and urges his long-fanged vampire babes to get it on with each other (“Bend over, forward, and backward, all of you and your entire parts!”) as his Dwight Frye-faced servant plays with himself. The Count then sends his female slaves out to get blood: “Fill this vial with blood. Vile Blood. Not liver bile, but vile blood.”
Meanwhile, Von Helsing visits Bill and his blonde girlfriend, Janet. Bill’s sister is one of Dracula’s women and attacks Janet while she’s on the toilet. Finding the vampire’s lair, Von Helsing chases Dracula into the sunlight where he melts, leaving only his cape for the sobbing servant to blow his nose on.

Reviews:
“Dracula mugs relentlessly at the camera and says weird stuff (to kick off the orgy, he commands: “Do what is known as ‘your thing!’”) while Elaina provides commentary like “Dracula is groovy!”
The sequence where the vampire brides go out to seduce men for their blood takes up a full half of the film’s running time, and you could be forgiven for forgetting they’re supposed to be vampires by the time they finally take bites for blood (from somewhere a bit more… private than the neck).” Jason Coffman, Daily Grindhouse
