Uncle Was a Vampire (Italian: Tempi duri per i vampiri, lit. 'Hard Times for Vampires') is a 1959 Italian comedy horror film, directed by Steno. A novelty song by Bruno Martino, Dracula Cha Cha Cha, written for this film, later became a widely covered hit. Baron Osvaldo Lambertenghi is forced to sell his ancestral castle to pay his debts. The manor is ingloriously transformed into a frivolous hotel, and Osvaldo is allowed to continue to live there working as a bellhop. One day Osvaldo receives a visit from his uncle, Baron Roderico da Frankurten, who turns out to be a real vampire. Osvaldo tries to warn the various guests of the hotel, with the only result being that he is taken for a madman. Bitten by his uncle, Osvaldo will also turn into a vampire, but his beloved, Lellina, will also be able to free him from the curse. Uncle Was a Vampire was Christopher Lee's first appearance in an Italian film production. Uncle Was a Vampire was released in Italy on October 28, 1959 where it was distributed by C.E.I.-Incom. It grossed a total of 385 million lire in Italy.
