Count Dracula’s Great Love (1973) stars Paul Naschy & a group of young women wearing bright pastel dresses. The movie contrasts gothic moodiness with gore, nudity, & cheesiness. Partially redeemed by a character arc that doesn’t quite work because it’s unearned. Worth a watch if you like Eurotrash.
