silly fangless 1960s Dracula movie

Dracula isn't going by "Dracula" these days, and his castle isn't really his, it's rented, and it isn't really a castle, but just resembles one. And while there is blood, remarkably Dracula is now so leisure-class that he has servants extract blood with needles from his victims and serve it to him (and his wife) in wine glasses.

A young photographer and his model fiancé take some photos at Marineland (are walruses and seals sexy?). He inherits a "castle" from a 108-year-old relative. They decide they'll live and work out of the castle without having seen it, and that they'll have to evict the old couple who'd been renting it.

Meanwhile, at the castle, mute hunchbacked servant Mango (!?) and genteel butler (and moon god Luna cultist) George are acquiring female "guests" to chain in the basement to keep a ready supply for their vampire bosses. The vampires realize they'll have to get the young couple to let them stay in the castle one way or another.

Also showing up is the vampires' friend Johnny, a homicidal maniac. Just on his way to the castle, he kills four people, and that's when he's on his best behavior! Repeatedly, it is said that he's worse when there's a full moon. He's not a werewolf, though.

It's a pretty silly movie, but it's not awful.

Trivia
The introductory sequence was shot at Marineland, located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County. It remained open from 1954-87, when all the animals were moved to the Sea World facility in San Diego, CA.

Goofs
When Johnny pushes the stolen car over a cliff an anguished scream is heard as the vehicle bounces down the rocks. The problem is the only people in the car have already been murdered.

Quotes
Glen Cannon: Why should I sign the castle over to you. You'll only kill us to keep us from talking
Count Dracula - alias Count Charles Townsend: Oh, no! We need your blood.

Alternate versions
