Dracula and Renefield relocate to 70's era New York in search of Cindy Sondheim (the reincarnation of Dracula's one true love, Mina Harker). "Trouble adjusting" is a wild understatement for the Count as he battles Cindy's psychiatrist, Jeffrey Rosenberg (a descendant of Van Helsing who changed his name for professional reasons?), who may almost certainly, possibly, may be in love with Cindy too.
If you haven't smoked any wolfsbane you might wonder why you have such fond memories of this one.

A coarse, delightful little movie with a bang-up cast and no pretensions at all.

What would happen if Dracula was victimized by life in modern New York City? It's a fun notion and George Hamilton makes it work.

rotten:
Casting Dracula as the Last Romantic, Scott Fitzgerald-style, was a clever idea, but nothing clever remains in the film's hodgepodge of flat one-liners and graceless slapstick.

fresh:
The production's genially tatty air enhances its anarchical mood and encourages one to go with its goofy yet often shrewd comic flow.
