What about Richard Roxburgh in Van Helsing? He was terrible! Not that anything was particularly good in the movie, but he stood out for being all kinds of awful.

Not for nothing but Dead and Loving it followed the book pretty closely.

Wait, are you calling Buffy Season 8 a clusterfuck? Surely you jest. Season 8 is awesome, and it actually did redeem Whedon's version of Dracula.

The only redeeming quality of Blade Trinity was Parker Posey.

First of all...

"Will the same be said of Disaster Movie?"

...did anyone ever say that Disaster Movie was funny?

Second of all, Racist Dracula in Buffy Season 8 was awesome.

Bitching? That Duckula isn't here?

MADNESS!

The list is clearly "Bad" Draculas, whereas Duckula was absolutely awesome.

I love Dracula. One of the best novels of all time, but try getting people to read it! Everybody thinks they know the story and pass it by, but it's much better than you'd think.

"Wait, are you calling Buffy Season 8 a clusterfuck?"

I agree with RunnerX13 wholeheartedly! Drac in Season 8 was a great mix of comic relief (his "bromance" with Xander), and his utter badassness (when he kicks Japanese vampire ass).

This list confuses me. At times it shits on some of the worst interpretations of Dracula, and then other times it's like "Can we have more of this please"?

Still, a good list, tho missing a few entries (I second brainneek's suggestion of Van Helsing's Dracula who would rather chew scenery than necks).

My favorite bad Dracula is the one from that Marvel comics cartoon. I remember one scene where he loses his powers, mugs a guy for his wallet (hearing Dracula say "Give me your wallet!" with his accent is priceless), and eats a cheeseburger.

You know what... that's actually pretty awesome!

C'mon no Jack Palance Dracula?

1) Sesame Street's The Count
2) Count Duckula
3) Bunnicula

I seem to recall Dracula from Captain N being shudderrific. But then again, maybe he was a good fit for Simon Belmont in the cartoon.

He wasn't a Dracula, but Eddie Murphy in Vampire in Brooklyn should get some kind of honorable mention.

You forgot the Dracula from the Castlevania series which, from what I understand, was also pretty far removed from the character as we know him.

What, no Miles O'Keefe from WAXWORKS (1988)?

Y'know, where does the whole "BLAH BLAH" thing with Dracula come from? It's not in either of Bela's official Dracula appearances in "Dracula" and "Abbott and Costello vs. Frankenstein" and I've never seen it in any SERIOUS Dracula film. Is it just an unintentional racist slur against Eastern Europeans and their accents?

Every time someone brings up Blade Trinity, I get a flashback to the first time I watched it. I was with my mother, my best friend, and his girlfriend. They explained how all these years, Dracula has been asleep in Iraq. At this point my mother said rather loudly "The weapon of mass destruction!" My mother, friend, and I all got hysterical at this point.. We got a lot of looks from people like, "huh?" Not angry looks, more like, "What does that mean?" Normally I get pissed when people talk in the theater, especially in my party, but that was by far the best part of the movie.

Loved Love at First Bite as a kid and can't believe it's on this list. And the Animaniacs version shouldn't be on here as well. For shame.

That's Dan Castellaneta as the Animaniacs Dracula.

Wow, was I really the only person who liked Dracula: Dead and Loving It?

"Look, Renfield! I'm drinking wein und eating chicken!"

What the hell is Dead and Loving It doing on this list and not Van Helsing? I love dead and loving it, and knocking it saying ' "spoof" translating into "goofy slapstick and weak jokes." ' is ridiculous. Have you freakin seen the horrendous excuses we have for spoofs now? Scary Movie? Disaster Movie? These are what passes for spoofs now? dear god no. Anyone associated with those movies needs beaten for bringing them into existence

Morgan Freeman played "Vincent,the Vegetable Vampire" on The Electric Company,as well.

Maybe it's just because I still have something of a soft spot for the World of Darkness role playing games mixing with my Catholic school education but the idea of a cursed Judas Iscariot being Dracula is actually kinda cool to me.

That's not to say Dracula 2000 was a good movie by any standard, dear god no.

I'm not sure I agree with putting a spoof in the list. Spoofs, by their nature, are not taking themselves seriously. Nielsen was never trying to be a "good Dracula" to begin with. His inclusion takes something away from this list...

Blade Trinity Dracula would have been my number one as well.

I remember going and seeing Dracula 2000 when I was 14. Haven't seen it since. I couldn't tell you damn thing that happened. Except for one thing... you totally see Vitamin C's boobs. As a 14 year old... man... it was like the greatest thing that had ever happened to me...

I'm no sure I can be a tr reader anymore, rob. How could you hate Dracula. Dead and lovin it so much. Its one of the only hilarious childhood movies that remains funny to this day. There are too many hilarious scenes to mention. "You are in the closet. Come out of the closet. Wath out for the foot!....stooool" - "you have the audacity to touch my daughter after being engaged for only 5 years??"

I really think the old black Dracula from Billy and Mandy should have been on this list somewhere

was going to be surprised if blade trinity did not get on this list for dracula came up short in that film. billy the kid vs dracula sounds like a film deserving of the old mystery science 300 aka rifrax treatment. for this list shows even a legendary character like dracula can wind up with lame attempts at doing the story.

No Dr. Acula from Scrubs??

No Dracula: The Series??

No Dracula from The Monster Squad??

While Artie Johnson might be annoying in everything he does, you gotta admit the line he throws out to the angry mob as he's trying to get his boss out of town "What do you want, blood?" is a damn funny bit.

I love Dracula Dead and Loving It. ;-;

Also, remember Count Duckula? Cartoon from the 80s,.. wasn't it Canadian? Anyhow, he's a wuss and a vegetarian. Pretty pathetic Dracula-clone.

No Blacula? This whole list is racist! And yes, I'm ignoring Morgan Freeman, he's no Blacula.

Does NO ONE ever read the description of Dracula from the novel?
-
"His face was strong, though pale... With massive eyebrows almost meeting over the aquiline nose, and the extremely pointed ears. Beneath the thick white mustache, his mouth was fixed and rather cruel-looking, with sharp white teeth protruding over uncannily ruddy lips. His finders were weirdly coarse and hairy-- his nails, long, and cut to a sharp point.
...I noticed for the first time that he had hair on the palms of his hands."
-
Dracula was never, ever described as a beautiful young man. He's not young-looking at all. He's supposed to look like a cruel older gentleman with a big central-European mustache and sharp teeth-- and that's ALL his teeth, not just fangs-- and HAIRY PALMS! He's supposed to look unpleasant, not beautiful.
-
This is why Buffy fails. They say it's Dracula, but it's really just a precursor to Twilight vampires.

Sorry... That was paraphrased. Here's the exact quote:
-
"His face was a strong, a very strong, aquiline, with high bridge of the thin nose and peculiarly arched nostrils, with lofty domed forehead, and hair growing scantily round the temples but profusely elsewhere. His eyebrows were very massive, almost meeting over the nose, and with bushy hair that seemed to curl in its own profusion. The mouth, so far as I could see it under the heavy moustache, was fixed and rather cruel-looking, with peculiarly sharp white teeth. These protruded over the lips, whose remarkable ruddiness showed astonishing vitality in a man of his years. For the rest, his ears were pale, and at the tops extremely pointed. The chin was broad and strong, and the cheeks firm though thin. The general effect was one of extraordinary pallor. "
"Hitherto I had noticed the backs of his hands as they lay on his knees in the firelight, and they had seemed rather white and fine. But seeing them now close to me, I could not but notice that they were rather coarse, broad, with squat fingers. Strange to say, there were hairs in the centre of the palm. The nails were long and fine, and cut to a sharp point. As the Count leaned over me and his hands touched me, I could not repress a shudder. It may have been that his breath was rank, but a horrible feeling of nausea came over me, which, do what I would, I could not conceal. "
-
So... Old dude, looks sick, big eyebrows, white hair, sharp teeth... NOT the pretty boys we keep seeing in movies and on TV. IN fact, I'd say Leslie Nielson was probably closer to Dracula than a lot of others. At least he was the right age and had the right hair color.

The fact that the Van Helsing "Dracula" wasn't even ON the list, more or less Number One makes this list completely invalid.

Also, it still boggles my mind that there are people who don't realize what a steaming turd that movie is.

wait, why wasn't "voltron, the hound of dracula" even mentioned? that was hands down the worst vampire movie of all time! to this day, it is illeagal to view in 71 countries, because it is so God awful, and 1 week after it's release, the corpse of Brahm stoker arose from the dead to kill the bastard who directed it. true story.

Blood for Dracula is a bad film? And here I was thinking it was hilarious for the last 20 years or so. I guess it's a bit too weird and arty for today's breed of geek.

Leslie Nielson was the BEST Dracula

As a Billy the Kid enthusiast I'm pretty annoyed by that clip, but only so much. Like the description said, you can only take it so seriously.

SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH VILE SCUM. Billy the Kid vs. Dracula and it's horror/western brother Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter are the best of the worst. I will defend them to the death, man.

THANK YOU for putting BTVS's Dracula on this list! I remember anticipating this episode when it originally came on, but when I saw it, I was all "WTF"? Dracula is supposed to be the ultimate sexy vampire, and this guy looked like he crawled out of a toilet! Edward Cullen is sexier than that guy! But I did laugh out at him in the comics.
'Course this list makes me want to check out Dracula 2000 again. I totally forgot Gerard Butler was in that, again, I was all WTF when I saw that. He's good as a Spartan, but not a bloodsucker.

At least Dracula 2000 had a good soundtrack. Also, I liked Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

You are sadly right about Blade Trinity.

Buffy's Drac was awesome. He was significantly more powerful than other vamps, and was super sexy. He should have showed up again, surely he would have been smarting after underestimating Buffy and getting humiliated.

Still, his appearance in S8 was excellent. I particularly enjoyed him portrayed as a lonely old man who perks up when his old friend returns to get him involved in some violent fun.

Also that bit about Xander teaching him to ride a motorbike was hilarious.

I think the sad part is Rudolph Martin (Drac from Buffy) also played him in Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula.

now come on, "love at 1st bite" was a hilarious movie. and who else but George Hamilton could play the Drac and sport a tan!

to the wolves howling....
"Children of the night..... SHUT UP!"

Am I the only person disappointed that David Carradine didn't make #1, or even get mentioned? I can't be the only person who has seen the awesomely bad vampire spaghetti western "Sundown"?! Vampires in the desert! Wearing sunscreen! Bruce Campbell playing Van Helsing's great great etc. nerdy vamp hunter/vamp bait grandson!
Well, Carradine's Count Mardulac was so bad it was good and I guess it could be considered one of the greatest Count Dracula's ever.
God I love that movie!!

cant believe you missed Dracula 3000 with Coolio as the bloodsucker.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367677/
bonus Udo Kier and Erika Eleniak

The idea of Buffy and Pike having there was unexpected,but funny.I didn't know stakes work on werewolves, but they work on vampires

But I love the Dracula episode of Buffy!! It is one of my favorites. It was fun and funny! I don't think the episode was supposed to be serious at all and Drac was a hoot! It made me laugh like no other episode of Buffy ever has.

Rudolf Martin is good in Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula. which came out the same year as the buffy ep. It's pretty good. It's about how Vlad became a vampire.

Oh God! Yes, I have to say that the Dracula episode of Buffy...terrible! As a Dracula-olyte I was offended. Turning his brides into 'sisters' and the whole thing, I mean seriously Dracula, you can do better than being pwned by Buffy! And look better mind you.

Dracula 2000 was also a disappointment to me. Judas? WHAT.

If you're looking for a very good film that's the closest to the book, check out the 1970's BBC miniseries with Louis Jourdan in the role. The whole film is very good and classy and artfully erotic right to the Bram's Dracula's description...except some cheesey 70's affects and two really bad actors. Well, if you want the Stoker version, not something badass. XD -swoons-

Vampires are fucking stupid.
Period.

thanks i looked at #11 and i have to go bleach my eyes AND brain now i did not expect to see that..... 0_0....

Dracula 2000 had a great cast. Seriously. Gerard Butler, Christopher Plummer, Jeri Ryan, Nathan Fillion, Johnny Lee Miller, etc. Too bad Wes Craven just didn't have "it" when he put this together.

Hey, there's one thing these videos are good for and that's erasing shitty FFF memories. Gawd, tonight's was the worst...

Uuuuum...no Van Helsing Dracula?

Man, any list that includes hatin' on Dracula: Dead & Loving It, Dracula 2000 and the fantastic Love At First Bite might as well be pro-Twilight bullshit...

When it comes to awesomely terrible Dracula flicks, I *have* to mention Dracula A.D 1972. So very, very bad it's good. Christopher Lee as Dracula, Peter Cushing as Van Helsing, and a *smoking hot* Stephanie Beacham as Van Helsing's grand daughter Jessica. Cheesy fun for everyone.

It wasn't Gerard Butler's fault Dracula 2000 sucked. He was the only good thing in it, and by far THE hottest vamp evar.

My favorite "non-standard" Dracula is Charlie Callas in the movie "Hysterical". I can't find any clips online, but it's sort of a comedy zombie movie which pokes fun at several classic horror movies, including Friday the 13th, The Shining, Jaws, etc..

Isn't SSJ better known as "Wife" from "McMillan & Wife"? She was plenty MILFy in K&A, but in the '70s she was even better.

Yes, I choose to nerd out about unconventional topics.
