The film stars Leslie Nielsen as Dracula and Brooks as Van Helsing, with Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Amy Yasbeck, Lysette Anthony, Harvey Korman, and Anne Bancroft in supporting roles. Although the film is primarily a parody of the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, it follows the 1931 film Dracula in its deviations from the novel.
