Tender Dracula, or Confessions of a Blood Drinker (French: Tendre Dracula) is a 1974 French horror film directed by Pierre Grunstein.[2] The film stars Peter Cushing, Alida Valli and Miou-Miou. The film involves two scriptwriters and two girls who are ordered by their director to visit the castle home of a horror actor (Peter Cushing) and to talk him out of his intention to change from horror films to romantic ones.
