Brief Description  Blood for Dracula (also known as Andy Warhol's Dracula) is a 1974 cult horror-satire film written and directed by Paul Morrissey and produced by Andy Warhol. Serving as a companion piece to Flesh for Frankenstein, the film is a subversive, campy, and highly stylized deconstruction of Bram Stoker's classic vampire lore, layered with political and social commentary.

Plot:
The film follows a sickly, wheelchair-bound Count Dracula who is dying because he can only survive on the blood of pure virgins ("chaste biological vessels"). Because the modern world lacks virgins, his loyal servant Anton convinces him to travel from Transylvania to a devout Catholic nation: 1920s Italy. They settle at the crumbling estate of the Marchese Di Fiore, an impoverished aristocrat desperate to marry off his four daughters to wealthy suitors. Dracula attempts to court the daughters to feed on them, but unknown to him, two of the middle daughters are sleeping with the estate's rugged Marxist handyman, Mario. When Dracula drinks their "tainted" blood, he suffers violent, agonizing withdrawal symptoms and vomits it up.

As Dracula grows weaker, Mario becomes suspicious of the Count’s true nature. To protect the youngest daughter from Dracula, Mario aggressively seduces her to strip away her virginity. Ultimately, Dracula targets the eldest daughter, Esmeralda, who is still pure. This culminates in a shockingly gory showdown where Mario corners Dracula and brutally dismembers him. Dracula represents the parasitic, decaying upper class literally draining the life out of the working class to survive. Mario represents the rising tide of Marxism, forcefully striking down the old feudal order. The film satirizes religious hypocrisy and bourgeois values, treating the concept of "purity" not as a virtue, but as a scarce, commodified resource that is actively disappearing in the modern world.
