Love at First Bite is a 1979 American comedy horror film directed by Stan Dragoti and written by Robert Kaufman, using characters originally created by Bram Stoker. It stars George Hamilton, Susan Saint James, Richard Benjamin, and Arte Johnson. The film's plot details the misadventures of Count Dracula in New York City while pursuing the object of his romantic desires, fashion model Cindy Sondheim, only to find himself a fish out of water in the Big Apple and having to contend with the inimical attentions of Cindy's would-be boyfriend.
The original music score was composed by Charles Bernstein. The film's tagline is: "Your favorite pain in the neck is about to bite your funny bone!" An earlier version of the script by director Richard Rush was titled Dracula Sucks Again.
