10 Weirdest Dracula Adaptations
6. Dracula 3000
What do you do when you don’t know what else to do with a character? Send them to space of course. Or, on holiday, but, Dracula 2000 already did that.
The concept here is partly a transfer of the Dracula story into a spaceship and partly a vampire take on Alien, but instead of the xenomorph, it’s Dracula.
Now, space, Dracula and Alien are all brilliant things, so you’d be forgiven for thinking that it sounds like a winning combo. However, there are many brilliant things that just don’t sit well together. For example, Beer and ice cream.
Dracula’s costume looks like a child designed it; thankfully, Dracula is hardly in the movie. Coolio (yes, this movie stars Coolio), wears a set of fangs so cumbersome, that he’s forced into a pronounced lisp. And, Casper Van Dien just reminds you that your time would be better spent watching Starship Troopers.
The best thing about this movie is its strap line. ‘In space there is no daylight’. It’s all down hill from there.
