I had seen this when I was likely five or six on video, and I really liked it a lot, even though I was too young to really remember the whole movie. I saw it again when I was 24, and loved it. I was taken aback by how much swearing the kids do in the film, but besides that, it’s really fun, the movie is really quotable (everyone quotes “Wolfman’s got nards,” but I prefer several lines over that), Duncan Regher has a really great, stately presence as Dracula and is taking the role very seriously in a kids’ movie (and Liam Neeson was thisclose to getting the role), the kids are fun, and I just love how it’s a dear tribute to the Universal monsters or director Fred Dekker’s childhood. The movie now has all this cult love, but I never heard anyone talking about it growing up, I only have heard more people talk about it in the past decade.
