Vinegar Syndrome documents one of Count Dracula's more ignominious adventures in the New World with their DVD of THE BRIDE'S INITIATION.

Count Dracula (Marc Brock, THE WATER PEOPLE) needs to consume a witches brew of male sperm and deflower a virgin within the next fifteen hours to retain his youth and immortality. He has become a little desperate because he has had to punish his female slaves for seducing young men behind his back, so he must trust scarred chauffeur James (Jack Birch, MY BED IS CROWDED) to capture both virile male and virginal female. James makes off with a pair of honeymoon-bound newlyweds, drugging them in the back of Dracula's limo and taking them to the Count's mansion. The groom's sperm is collected and the bride defiled, so the count believes he can put off the rest of the ritual until the next night thanks to his renewed libido; however, he falls in love with Miss Richmond (EROTIC ADVENTURES OF CANDY's Carol Connors, Birch's wife and mother of AMERICAN BEAUTY actress Thora) and the prying of missing persons detective Gould (Steve Morgan) may prevent the Count from achieving love and immortality.

Horror and porn rarely mix, even during the golden age of adult filmmaking, and THE BRIDE'S INITIATION may be part of the reason why. Lensed in Florida on sets in which garish sixties décor is covered up by garish seventies upholstery, with a minimally-talented "cast" overshadowed by barnstorming Brock (who is scarcely better), the film drags at seventy minutes with cutaways to the investigation – Gould actually bothers to look into other leads before paying a visit to Count Dracula – the last minute introduction of Connors, some tame sadism and a surprising castration before a lame punchline. What little is known about the film's behind the scenes personnel is covered in the disc's sole extra below.
