RW569 - Andy Warhol Monsters Rewatch - Blood for Dracula

 


In this episode of The Andy Warhol Monsters Rewatch, Cory and Eoghan seek pure podcasting sustenance as they discuss Blood for Dracula.

Trailer:

Our Favourite Trivia:

On a $300,000 budget, it had a US domestic box office return of $283,134.


Similar to Flesh for Frankenstein, Italian director Antonio Margheriti is credited in Italian prints of the film despite not directing it. This misattribution led both producer Carlo Ponti and Margheriti to be put on trial for "continued and aggravated fraud against the state" by attempting to gain benefits by law for Italian films.


Furthermore, on release the film was promoted with Andy Warhol's name again. When asked about how he contributed to the film, Warhol responded that "I go to the parties," following up that "All of us at The Factory contribute ideas."


Udo Kier lost 20 pounds (9kg) in one week to play Count Dracula. On the first day of filming, he was so weak that he could not stand.


Roman Polanski was asked to do a cameo in this film. It’s commonly said that he did the cameo because he was shooting What? on a nearby set, but he had in fact completed that film before appearing here.

What's Up Next?

We're back with Tom Hanks 80's, and comedic take on an old classic with Dragnet.
