Son of Dracula (1974 film)
''Son of Dracula'' is a British musical comedy film, starring Harry Nilsson and Ringo Starr, produced by Starr and released in 1974 by Apple Films. It is also the title of a Harry Nilsson album released in conjunction with the movie.
==Background==
''Son of Dracula'' was made during a period when Starr, in between occasional single releases and session work, was concentrating on film-making and acting. Two movies in which he had starred, ''200 Motels'' and ''Blindman'', had been released at the end of 1971, and before starting on this one, he had just finished work on his directorial debut, the T.Rex documentary ''Born to Boogie''.
As well as producing ''Son of Dracula'', Starr would appear as Merlin the Magician, who follows the birth and rise of young Count Downe, played by Nilsson. Starr and he were longtime friends, and the ex-Beatle had recently played drums on Nilsson's 1972 album ''Son of Schmilsson'', which had spoofed horror movie motifs. A few months after those sessions, in August 1972, Starr decided to make a rock and roll Dracula movie (originally titled ''Count Downe''),〔Keith Badham, ''The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up 1970−2001'', Omnibus Press (London, 2002), p. 79.〕 and invited Nilsson to come on board. At first, Nilsson thought the whole idea must've come from his recent album; as it turned out, Starr had not followed its release, and until then-wife Maureen brought him a copy, he didn't even know that ''Son of Schmilsson'' had already used a similar theme.
