Nocturna: Granddaughter of Dracula
What happens when a Vietnamese belly dancer decides she wants to be an actress but she can't get a part? She hits up the producer of Halloween for a couple hundred grand, spends half of it on disco singers, hires a pair of name actors from Hollywood's golden age, gets a set of fake fangs and has a camera crew follow her around NYC while she strips off her clothes and badly overacts. And voilà! There you have the abridged story of the making of the forgotten vampire disco comedy!
Nocturna (Nai Bonet) falls in love with a guitarist (Antony Hamilton), so she decides to follow him to New York City, where she can boogie each night away, despite the wishes of her grandfather, the once-great-but-now-not-so-much Count Dracula (John Carradine). Throw in Yvonne DeCarlo ("The Munsters"), Brother Theodore ("The 'burbs"), some cheap animation and disco songs galore and you have "Nocturna!"
