Description: If you followed all that then now is the time to explain. Zoltan, Dracula’s dog, has risen from the dead to seek revenge by the side of his master. Unfortunately Dracula is dead…so his willing servant transports Zoltan to be with the last surviving member of the Dracula bloodline. Where does he live? In sunny California of course; where else would the great, great, great, great grandson of Dracula live? Alright, I’m tired of explaining so just watch the cheesy trailer below, and dig those bad 70s tunes as the Dracula family go camping in their Winnebago.
Review: Sometimes the road work could lead to the most unexpected , eerie and extraordinary impact. This made the workers of the Russian road crew . accidentally discovered a mysterious underground crypt. Perverse curiosity brought back to life and his murderous evil incarnation.
The film ” Dracula’s Dog ” filmed in 1978 by the famous American treshmeykerom Albert Band . No relation to the works of Bram Stoker’s vampire picture has , however, and the original screenplay by Frank Ray Perilli film can still boast , because the main character and the main picture of the sower of evil in it is a dog – vampire Zoltan , a priori, that makes the picture somewhat unusual . Overall filmed operator Bruce Logan is quite interesting and bright, horror expertly blown scenes of violence and no obsession . We can say that the film is tasteful and it slightly makes a variety of lean vampire theme.
Starring in the film are very convincing. Actor Michael Pataki perfectly cope with the role of Michael Drake , managing brilliantly convey the metamorphosis of his character . Very colorful characters played in the film as Gian Jester ( Marla Drake ) , Reggie Nalder ( Veidt Smith ) and Tom Gerrard (oil).
Soundtrack, written by composer Andrew Belling , perfectly suited to the picture , enveloping it and creating suspense .
I recommend this little-known horror film, scanned me , by the way , even in early childhood, to all fans of classic horror and trash the original , and I think the picture will not disappoint you and will be remembered as much as me .

Casting: “Yeah, Albert, there’s been a scheduling conflict. Dracula can only pop in for 2 short 5 minutes scenes and then he has to take off for Wisconsin.”
Albert Band: “WHAT?!? We were promised two solid weeks in Dracula’s schedule. He can’t do this, we’ve got a rock-solid contract. You get hold of the Prince of Dampness and tell him we’ll be going to the union then petitioning for dropping his S.A.G. membership for contractual violations.”
Casting: “Dracula left a note saying, that he’s just too busy this year and he’s got 24 solid contracts that he’s booked in and he cannot break those either. I’ve got good news though… he left us his dog.”
Albert Band: “HIS DOG?!? What do we look like, a kennel club. What the heck am I supposed to do with Dracula’s dog? Put a satin cape on him and large plastic fangs? I can’t make a movie out of this.”
Casting: “Do you want to get sued into the poorhouse for breaking the Completion Bond? Frank Ray Perilli thinks he can work with the already shot footage and rewrite it to be more dog-focused without turning it into slapstick comedy. I’ll get the special effects guys to make the dog’s eyes glow with double-exposure tricks. We can still make this work and have enough of the budget left over to safely pocket a few bonuses.”
Albert Band: “You seriously think I can pull this off. How can we sell a Dracula movie without Dracula as the main lead star?”
Casting: “Word is that McCloud got Dracula to guest spot in a TV movie, so if you think yours is going to be the worst Dracula flick this year, you’re batty, boy, BATTY!”
