Andy Warhol’s Blood for Dracula and Flesh for Frankenstein are wild and disturbing takes on the horror icons.
In many ways, time and an abundance of adaptations have softened our perception of Dracula. Far from a crawling creature of the night , our favorite vampire now appears on cereal boxes, PacSun T-shirts, and even the covers of picture books. In short, he's become a symbol. So, too, has Andy Warhol.
Andy Warhol's 'Flesh for Frankenstein' Got an X-rating Directed by frequent Warhol collaborator Paul Morrissey, Flesh for Frankenstein was rated X upon its release and it's not hard to see why. Starring German actor Udo Kier as mad scientist Baron Von Frankenstein, the movie follows Frankenstein's pursuit of the creation of a new "race" of human zombies.
'Blood for Dracula' Takes Things Even Further Filmed directly after Flesh for Frankenstein, Blood for Dracula, also released under the title Andy Warhol's Dracula, is often cited, critically, as the weaker film. Less elaborate sets and costumes certainly contributed. Another thing that could have made the film less popular than its predecessor was its content. What could be more distasteful than having sex with a zombie, you ask? Probably the numerous allusions to sexual assault.
