Dracula in the Provinces (Italian: Il cav. Costante Nicosia demoniaco ovvero: Dracula in Brianza, lit. The Noble devilish Costante Nicose or: Dracula in Brianza) is a 1975 Italian horror comedy film, directed by Lucio Fulci and starring Lando Buzzanca in the main role.

In the film, a superstitious businessman visits Bucharest and spends a night of revelry in the company of a Romanian count and his companions. After sharing a bed with the count, he is convinced that he has become a homosexual. He thinks that his newfound urge to drink blood is a coincidence, but he starts displaying vampiric traits and increasingly aggressive behavior. His newborn son has his own vampire fangs.
