In this throwback to old Universal monster movies, Caesar and Otto come face to face with Steve Dracula, an eccentric theatre director who's searching for "new Blood" for his latest production.
Caesar & Otto in the House of Dracula (2009)** (out of 4) If you've seen CAESAR AND OTTO'S SUMMER CAMP MASSACRE then you know at the end of it Caesar (Dave Campfield) and Otto (Paul Chomicki) get a phone call from someone in New York inviting them to stay at his house. It turns out that this phone call was from Steve Dracula (Ed Dennehy).At just ten-minutes there's nothing too good or bad about this short film. The comedy is scaled back a little from the previous movie, which was a feature-length movie but one that was way too long. I thought this worked rather well as a short film as the horror spoofs were right on target and you at least could be mildly entertained. I was a little surprised that there wasn't the same type of back-and-forth humor between Caesar and Otto but both actors are obviously comfortable with their characters. The film being shot in B&W was a nice touch as well.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
