Yes...pretty much. It's very similar to "I Was A Teenage Werewolf." The real differences are that the protagonist is a female and of course the monster is a vampire instead of a werewolf. It's got pretty much the same ingredients: Teens, bad rock songs ( I personally think the songs are great ),hypnotism, monsters. Features a great opening scene and a cool graveyard attack set. I don't understand why this film is often pushed aside and seldom mentioned. Maybe it just needed to be called "I Was a Teenage Vampire." I think the atmosphere is pretty solid and I enjoy this picture enough to rate it an 8...yes an 8. Check it out.
Fairly amusing film about a girl in a reform school who's hypnotically turned into a vampire and sets out to kill a few classmates. Interestingly, this film reverses many horror movie cliches by making the young attractive heroine the monster herself. Some imaginative sequences, hokey dialogue with pretty good photography. Not as good as the more famous "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" or the much better "How to Make a Monster", but well worth watching for fans of drive in fun.
In BLOOD OF DRACULA, Nancy Perkins (Sandra Harrison) is dropped off at her new boarding school by her father and his new wife. While Nancy is busy settling in, she is unaware that science teacher, Miss Branding is working on a bizarre experiment. She's also looking for a human subject, someone who has Nancy's rather explosive temperament! Mad science and the occult merge, resulting in horror beyond all measure!
Sort of.
This movie is another lump of Limburger from AIP distribution. Much like THE SHE-CREATURE or VOODOO WOMAN, it's a story about the unleashing of the savage side of female human nature, and the hideous consequences thereof. The title comes into play in an absurd, non sequitur way.
As cinematic nonsense goes, this example is quite enjoyable. Just wait until you see Nancy's toothy transformation scene!
WARNING: This movie contains the song "Puppy Love"...

Don't be surprised if this DRACULA version made in the late fifties includes some teenagers elements. It is obviously destined to drive in audiences, young men and women kissing each other aboard their parents cars whilst the movie appeared on screen.... It is not that bad, because directed by Herbert Strock, a little horror master from this period, besides Gene Fowler Jr and William Castle. This is an agreeable horror film, one of the first evoking Halloween twenty years before John Carpenter's most known movie. Acting is pretty surprisingly good for this kind of B feature and the photography also excellent. But please, don't take it too seriously and you'll enjoy it. Excellent ending too, rather surprising. I love that.
I agree with some of the other reviewers about the title of this film. If you're going to make a "Dracula" movie without the character of Dracula and with a teenager (or young adult) in the title role, then why not just call it "I Was a Teenage Dracula"? Particularly if the writer is the same man who co-wrote "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" and "I Was a Teenage Frankenstein" and the director was also at the helm of "Teenage Frankenstein."
The plot is quite similar to that of "Teenage Werewolf." Troubled teen is transformed into monster by mad doctor using hypnosis. I first saw this movie the year it was released. I thought it was very scary and the vampire make-up was pretty cool. After seeing it again years later on television from the perspective of a middle-aged man rather than a ten-year-old boy, it seemed less scary than before but I still thought Sandra Harrison looked pretty cool as the vampire. If you enjoyed American International's other teenage monsters, then check this one out if you can find it.

- TriviaAmerican International Pictures released this film to many drive-in theaters as the bottom half of a double feature with I Was a Teenage Frankenstein (1957) with the tagline: "Warning! Can You Take It? Fiendish! Frenzied! Frightening! It Will Haunt You For Days Afterwards[sic]!"
- GoofsDuring the first scene of the "stake" that will kill Nancy Perkins (Sandra Harrison), it is shown to be about four inches long. In the second scene, when it is protruding from out of her body, it is about one foot long and perceptively sharper at the end of it.
