I have seen that in donkey's years. I'm concentrating on the Frankenstein/Dracula run, though I'll probably hit a few of the others later.
I think this film suffers when they bring in a male vamp, but given the times, they would have wanted a male up against Van Helsing to seem like a credible threat. To male vamp's credit, though he looks naff, he manages to pull off something that I'm not sure even Dracula manages in the run.
While the female parts became smaller, I really liked the Baroness and her servant, and wish we'd seen more of them. And the servant has one of the most creepy and disturbing moments I've seen in any vampire film, one I'd love to see replicated well.
