This Richard Redmond directed short film comes in at just over 10-minutes and was posted to YouTube in 2015. It is a spoof advertisement for ebaybodyparts dot com.
It starts with Dracula (Douglas Zimmer) chilling next to a crypt as he spies Moira (Lori Franzese) in the cemetery. Moira comes over and asks whether he is the actual, factual Dracula (he confirms in his faux-Lugosi accent that he is Count Dracula) and offers the observation that he looks sad.

Dracula admits that he is, indeed, sad and is questioning his undead status. He laments being able to not get wholesome blood – there are too many contaminants these days and lists out hormones, drugs, alcohol and disease amongst a long list. Unfortunately, one of the throwaways is anti-trans (he mentions men who are women and it being confusing… I’d like to think it was a deliberate satire but, and bearing in mind this is amongst factors as to why blood has gone bad, I think it was just a poor line that underlined a lack of trans awareness and thus managed to Other being trans).

Anyway, that line aside, Dracula also points out that the sub-optimum diet has had side effects such as allowing him to go out in the sun. Moira asks him why he doesn’t use ebaybodyparts, who not only supply body parts but also blood, guaranteed disease free and with their DNA service he could get blood of a Transylvanian heritage. That’s great, of course, but Dracula isn’t tech savvy and he still has access to eye mojo…
