Short Film: Crazy Dracula Spring Break Weekend


From directors Matt Granger & Mikey Granger (as the Granger Brothers) comes this 2011 comedy short that runs for 13-minutes.

It starts off at a pool party and Dracula (Matt Granger) is in party mode. We see him in pool fights, chugging beer, using Bronze Stoker's sun block, playing with super soakers, doing shots. When he gets a text from Igor (Mikey Granger, Stan Helsing), as he sits with the dinner he’s prepared, he ignores it. Igor later notices Dracula's photo on social media with new best friend ‘Drinkinstein’ (Trevor Kyle).

When Dracula gets home he finds that Igor has called his friends and staged an intervention. This is attended by the (balding) wolfman (Peter New, Ultarviolet: Code 044), Frankenstein’s Monster (Aleks Paunovic, Chupacabra Vs the Alamo, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency & Van Helsing), The Invisible Man (Ryan Robbins, also Van Helsing, Blade the Series, Vampire (2011) & Sanctuary) and Santa Claus (Toby Hargrave). Truths will out, such as Dracula being called Drunkula, Vlad the Inhaler, Schnapsferatu, Kiefer Sutherland and dickhead behind his back… but can they get through to Crazy Dracula?

This was fun, neatly put together with some good gags (though Zombie Amy Winehouse (Tristan Risk, ABCs of Death 2 & Rabid) might have been a little close to the bone given when it was released) and definitely worth catching. The imdb page is here.
