Dracula's Bride (1980) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - February 12, 1981

Judging by the cast list, I thought this was a re-release of Dracula Sucks (1978) under a different title. However, according to its trivia page at the IMDB, Dracula's Bride is a different movie. One constructed from "separate footage" that was shot by William Margold. An alternate title for this film seems to be Lust At First Bite, although that has also been cited as the alternate title for Dracula Sucks, as well.

My ill-informed guess is that this is the hardcore version, while Dracula Sucks (1978) may have been a soft core version. I think.

I have not seen either version, from beginning to end, but I do know that Reggie Nalder (who played Mr. Barlow in the first Salem's Lot mini-series and was the henchman of Dracula's Dog) was mortified to learn that the scenes he had filmed for what he had been told was a soft core sex comedy were also used in the hardcore version.
