Paul Morrissey Tribute Film!
4K Restoration
Immediately after completing FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN, producer Andy Warhol, filmmaker Paul Morrissey and star Udo Kier created BLOOD FOR DRACULA, a sumptuously depraved Euroshocker that tows the line between art and bad taste.
Desperate for virgin blood, Count Dracula (Kier) journeys to an Italian villa only to discover the family’s three young daughters are also coveted by the estate’s Marxist stud (Joe Dallesandro of Morrissey’s FLESH, TRASH, and HEAT). Stefania Casini (SUSPIRIA) and BICYCLE THIEVES director Vittorio De Sica co-star in one of the most unique and outrageous vampire films in history, now scanned uncut in 4K from the original negative for the first time ever.
1974, 106 minutes, Italy, In English, Directed by Paul Morrissey, Unrated

“Outrageous, hilarious and shocking, this is trash art at its very best.”
– Ben Cobb, FILM4 -
“Udo Kier’s Idiosyncratic Dracula and his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad search for virgin blood.”
– Ian West, Letterboxd -
“Paul Morrissey’s loose cinéma-vérité films made with Andy Warhol…captured New York’s demimonde of drug addicts, drag queens and hipsters and turned an unlikely stable of amateur actors into underground stars."
– William Grimes, THE NEW YORK TIMES
