DRACULA - DEAD AND LOVING IT

Air Date/Released Friday, December 22, 1995
Station/Studio Columbia Pictures

Mel Brooks take [off] on the legend of Dracula, remaining faithful to the original novel while bringing it elements from the classic 1930 Bela Lugosi film, and the 1992 Gary Oldman update... with a healthy dose of Brooks' trademark lunacy.

The climatic showdown with Dracula features Jonathan Harker resorting to Moe Howard eyepoke to escape the Count's deathgrip.
