Summary: Wonderfully campy in every way
Review: An actress/singer and company visit an evil vampire/game show host in Transylvania (hence the title) to recover a sacred book. One of the best that MIRACLE has to offer. Gotta love the music video sequence and the butler is hilarious. Haven't seen it in a while, so the detail on my review might be something short of content.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Information about the DVD version
Review: I now have the DVD version. Here is what you get...

The video is cleaned up some. The package says "digitally remastered". Maybe. Better than the video I own of this.

The DVD is pan-and-scan. Probably was a "straight to video" production, so there may not be a letterbox version.

It contains a scene that was cut from the original video release! At the end Dexter Ward comments about "That was worse than my song". In the original video release it did not make alot of sense because he did not sing a song in the film. This cut has the song. (And you can figure why is was cut. Quite silly and kind of painful.)

There are bios and a couple of original trailers. (One for this film and one for "Saturday the 14th".)

There are no subtitles or alternate sound tracks of any sort.

The sound is pretty clean. Well worth getting even without a lot of extras.

Summary: Long, Hard Ride
Review: Imagine a movie like Airplane, only with a change of setting. Oh, and the jokes aren't funny. Here's a clue, folks: wacky doesn't equal funny without a little help, and this movie could use more than a little help. It has it's moments, but they aren't worth waiting for.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Transylvania Twisted
Review: Take 1500 puns, 500 sight gags, 3 musical numbers, a reference to almost every horror movie, at least 40 impersonations ( jack is the best ) the most confusing townfolk since Blazing Saddles hands down ( or more correctly Hans Up ), loads of cleavage, Robert Vaugn, "The Tall Man", and a special Ghost appearance by Boris Karloff and you have a pretty good movie. They could have put in an extra 10 minutes of Bloopers and out takes as a good bonus, and Wide Screen would have made it a topper. A movie that you will find something new in each viewing I'm sure. And remember don't drink anything that will hurt coming out your nose the first time you watch it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Horror Hilarity
Review: This movie had me hooked from the very beginning with "amateurs." After that I never stopped laughing. The horror puns, spoofs and cliches abound.

I couldn't believe that they had finally released a DVD version. It seems like it had been an eternity waiting for a version that I could keep.

This movie is definitely aimed at horror fans, but others, not in my league of horror fanaticism, have enjoyed it.

Summary: You gotta love that bowtie.
Review: This movie is what you'd get if Airplane! had crash-landed in Transylvania. The general plot: A young man must fulfill his Grandfather's dying(?!?) wish to hunt down a rare and dangerous volume of Occult rituals with the aid of a plucky young actress descendant of the man who'd checked out the book. Together, the trio must brave the Transylvanian countryside and the vampiric Count Orlock along with his Tall Man servant (played by Angus Scrim) to regain the book before the count can use it to reserect an ancient, world destroying demon. Lots of site gags, sound gags, bad jokes and psuedo-cameos; more than enough to choke a Frankinstien.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vampire bites funny bone.
Review: This movie will have your blood laughing. You need to see it several times since there are a lot of old Monster movies spoofed.
