Vampires have been part of horror cinema for practically longer than any other kind of monster. Though it was not the first horror film, the 1922 German film Nosferatu established many of the traditions of the genre, but more importantly, created the idea of the cinematic vampire that would spawn dozens (if not hundreds) of variations in later years. One of the strangest and sexiest vampire movies of all time is currently streaming for free (with ads) on Vudu: the 1974 film Blood for Dracula, starring Udo Kier.
Though Udo Kier may not be a household name, if you have ever seen a vampire movie or anything with “Dracula” in the title (or even an Eve video starring Gwen Stefani), you have seen him. The German actor’s intense stare, delicate features, and indefinable sense of European superiority have made him a popular character actor for decades, but no film has ever used him so well as Blood for Dracula. In this particular film, Count Dracula is not so much a blood-sucking monster as a symbol of decaying aristocracy and sensitivity, who also just happens to need to feed on very specifically the blood of a virgin woman.
Blood for Dracula was directed by Paul Morrissey, a longtime collaborator of the popular and controversial artist Andy Warhol, who officially produced the film but did little but lend his name recognition. It stars Udo Kier as Dracula, who in this incarnation is a sickly and bookish Romanian nobleman who can only consume the blood of a virgin. Unfortunately, for both Dracula and his sister, the family’s reputation is too notorious to find any appropriate woman to feed on and Udo Kier and his overbearing valet Anton (Arno Juerging) travel to Italy on the assumption that the Catholic Church’s teachings mean the country is full of virgins.
