Dracula Goes Bananas

1979's "LOVE AT FIRST BITE" proved to be so aggressively forgettable that we completely forgot recording this episode a year and a half ago! But it's a perfect complement to our recent offerings, which featured Saturday the 14th and Pandemonium. Like those films, Love at First Bite seems to be something like a horror comedy, but never truly fulfills either mandate.

An absurd Dracula in the form of George Hamilton, and a bumbling Van Helsing provided by Richard Benjamin, prove to be capable foils for the normal person (Susan St. James, as a human woman). It's a love triangle but who cares? Who was this movie for? The jokes are hackneyed, the performances baffling, and the box office success a stain on our collective human experience.
