The 1995 vampire comedy movie "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" was directed by comedy legend Mel Brooks. A parody of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula - as well as some of its famous adaptations - the film starred Leslie Nielsen as Count Dracula. The movie also starred Peter MacNicol as Renfield and Brooks himself as Dr. Van Helsing. Other stars included Amy Yasbeck, Steven Weber, Harvey Korman, and Anne Bancroft.

The movie played with many of the known traits from the classic Dracula. Brooks riffed on movies like 1931's Universal Monster movie "Dracula" starring Bela Lugosi, the Hammer horror Dracula movies starring Christopher Lee, plus 1992's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" from Francis Ford Coppola.
