Vampira is a 1974 British comedy horror film directed by Clive Donner, and starring David Niven and Teresa Graves.[1] This spoof of the vampire genre was re-titled Old Dracula for release in the United States,[2] in an attempt to ride the success of Young Frankenstein.
In the film, Count Dracula is facing the problems of old age. His attempts to resurrect a female vampire from his past turn her into a black woman. She in turn changes him into a black man. The vampire couple travel to Rio de Janeiro at the end of the film.
