It was so funny to have this show up on the TV set as my roommate and I were getting ready to run that evening's rental--the DVD of Taste the Blood of Dracula. As fate would have it, when I had the movie on it was the scene where the Undead Lucy is trying to lure her fiance into her embrace. It was obviously a send-up of several similar scenes from classic Hammer films. Unfortunately I didn't bother continuing to watch, so I missed the actual staking (I find the pacing of Mel Brooks later work really uneven, in a distracting way--there was some gag or other he was dragging out unnecessarily in this sequence, which made it all too easy for me to switch to my movie).
