Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is a gloriously unhinged gothic farce. It’s a fast, feral, fang-forward mash-up of genres that celebrates the joy of becoming who you are and want to be. Filled with clever wordplay and anything-goes pop culture references, Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is a 95-minute, gender-bending, quick-changing, laugh-out-loud retelling of Bram Stoker’s classic horror novel, perfect for audiences of all blood types.
When her sister Mina falls mysteriously ill, the plucky and beautiful Lucy and her prim and proper fiancé Jonathan must enlist the help of the famed vampire hunter Doctor Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous (and sexy) Count Dracula will force them to confront their greatest fears - and deepest desires - while navigating clever wordplay and life-threatening puns. The quick-witted dialogue and zany antics are guaranteed to increase your pulse and cause bloodcurdling screams - of laughter!
