Film Synopsis
Tender Dracula (1974) follows two scriptwriters and their actresses sent to a Gothic mansion to persuade a horror star to stop playing vampires and embrace romantic roles. As they settle into his eerie estate, his strange behavior and ambiguous identity raise the unsettling question: is he truly a vampire or just a mad actor? This horror-comedy blends surreal absurdity, erotic fantasy, and gothic parody in a wildly unhinged study of performance and identity.
