The Horny Vampire

Count Dracula’s bearded nephew Count Al-Kum skulks around Las Vegas in a suit, cape and bow-tie spying on and trying to pick up women. He acts like a third-rate lounge comedian and reads aloud from “1001 Ways to Seduce Women” while doing annoying double takes, running into doors and talking to the camera with his forced Lugosi accent.

Directed by Ray Dennis Steckler, The Horny Vampire leans on a strong ensemble — Jerry Delony, Vicki Scott, Victor Alexander — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1971.
