The character of the gypsy woman Madame Ouspenskaya, who was portrayed by Mel Brooks' wife actress Anne Bancroft, was named after Maria Ouspenskaya, who played the character of Maleva in both The Wolf Man (1941) and Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943).
Most recent theatrical feature film directed by Mel Brooks as of 2022.
When Mel Brooks and the rest of the filmmakers gathered together for the first time to discuss the making of the movie, one of the early questions was should the picture be made in black-and-white, mainly because Brooks' earlier film Young Frankenstein (1974) was made in black and white in order to give the movie the feeling of the old Universal Frankenstein films. This idea was dropped, mainly because, as Steve Haberman said in the audio commentary of the film in DVD, a lot of the great Dracula movies were in color, specifically the Hammer pictures starring Christopher Lee and Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula (1992).
Lysette Anthony talked about her role during an interview. "I was just meant to be there, with my tits hanging out, looking ridiculously glamorous. And, no, I didn't find it offensive being that sort of sexy foil. Lucky me just to have spent a few months working with Mel, one of the comic greats of our time. Love him or hate him, he's one of the founders of what this generation finds funny now."
The bat transformations of Dracula were inspired by the cartoonish transformations of Bela Lugosi into a bat in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).
"[Dracula is outside Mina's room] Dracula: [to the maid] Essie... Essie... Your eyelids are growing heavy You will sleep... sleep. [Essie nods off to sleep] Dracula: Mina... Mina, open your eyes! [she does] Dracula: Arise, Mina. [she does] Dracula: Walk to the door. [Mina opens a door, and goes inside] Dracula: Mina... you are in the closet. Open the door, and come out. [she does] Dracula: Now walk to the Terrace Door. Watch out for the foot... [too late! Mina trips over the footstool, and goes flying] Dracula: Stool. Stand up. [Essie and Mina both rise] Dracula: Not you. Sit! [Mina sits] Dracula: No, not you, *you* sit. [Essie sits] Dracula: *You* stand. [both stand] Dracula: No! Sit! [both sit] Dracula: No, you stand! [both stand] Dracula: You walk to the Terrace Door and you go back to sleep! *Watch out!* [Essie and Mina bump into one another and fall to the floor. Dracula throws his arms in frustration]"
"[after Van Helsing and Johnanthan have returned from driving a stake through Lucy's heart] Dr. Seward: I don't understand it! he's covered in blood and there's not a drop on you! Van Helsing: I have been to many stakings- you have to know where to stand! You know, everything in life is location, location, location..."
