As a filmmaker and an open minded critic, I felt devoted to having to write this review in this movie's defense. Because of a single stupid user reviewers who has deemed this musical comedy short terrible, it has lost a much deserved audience. Not only is this short worth watching more than once, it is a great example of what all independent, low budget, shorts should be. Besides successfully telling a great story, Dracula Bites the Big Apple showcases what NYC in the late 70's was like. Including, showcasing several NYC landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Studio 54, and area of Central Park and Coney Island, this movie has fun with its musical and comedic numbers. Richard Wenk does a terrific job directing his talents -Peter Loewy and Barry Gomolka. Having a cameo from Steve Rubell alone makes this short a must see. This was filmed on film. That alone puts this gem into a category of its own. The production value, concept and acting adds to this fantastic find. Those who critic this as anything terrible has no authority in doing so. In fact, Dracula Bites the Big Apple is a perfect example of what all independent films should be. It is original, fresh, funny. Real, and in the end, a true labor of love from those involved.
