Count Tsakona and His Draculettes (1989)

Comedy, Horror,

{[['']]}

In this offering, Kostas Tsakonas (a champion of the SOV comedy of the era) as a wimpy poor guy & petty thief who lives with his nephew, is chosen by the arch-Dracula to rule Greece, since he's a long lost relative of the vampire family, and since the current Prime Minister has sucked the Greeks dry (yes, there's some awful not-so-subtle dated attempts at political satire in there as well). What follows is Tsakona's transformation and consequent attempts to adjust to his new vampiric lifestyle, while a clumsy exorcist and some of his fellow villagers are after him.

The title says it all really, this is a fine example from the glory days of the Greek SOV 'industry' of the 80's. Today this all looks horribly silly, badly written, cheaply produced and directed trash, but back then this was wholesome family home entertainment for the weekend.
