Description:
The legendary Bela Lugosi as 'the Vampire' teams up with Britain's much-loved 'Mother Riley' in this hilarious comedy adventure. The Vampire plans to control the world with the help of his robot, which accidentally gets shipped to Mother Riley. Through radar control, he contacts the robot and orders it to come to him, bringing along Mother Riley! But his life is turned upside down when he holds this most meddling of mothers captive. 'My Son the Vampire' is the last of the Mother Riley film series (1937-1952), lighthearted, immensely popular British comedies that featured the slapstick antics of Arthur Lucan as an Irish scullery maid who gets herself into all sorts of tough spots.

Rating: - Bela the Comedian
Saw this one on TV and had to buy to see it all. Pretty funny. and the title character - whew, what a strange one. all in all, this is a good movie. weird but good.
Rating:  - Wild and Crazy British Comedy.
This is another Bela Lugosi flick filmed in glorious B&W that stretches the low budget dollar.

In making these career choices, we get a mental image of Bela shrugging his shoulders at the ... Read More
Rating:  - Mother Riley Meets The Vampire. AKA My Son The Vampire!
This was the last of the Mother Riley films and this one is definately the best. Bela Lugosi is obviously enjoying himself despite taking on this film as a way of flying home to Los Angeles. You can see it in his face as he shuffles up to Mother Riley, "That's My Brother!" he says as Old Mother Riley stares at a painting of a BAT!. Dora Bryan is brilliant as always and so is Judith Furse as the matron-like housekeeper. This film is a must. Anyone who like comedy, old comedy, will love this ... Read More
Rating: - Fanged Farce In A Frock From The UK!
The long-awaited DVD release of My Son The Vampire (aka Old Mother Riley Meets The Vampire) also contains the brief theatrical trailer for the film's American release (an inclusion not stated on the packaging). Previously available many years ago in an inferior VHS release, and undoubtably available elsewhere as a independently released video, the DVD transfer from the American print is beautiful!
