Ah, it's been done... I should have remembered. Juxtaposition of goth/vamp mythos with satire on modern liberal cliches, modern American liberal cultural decline, and bad taste:

Love at First Bite (1979)

Directed by Stan Dragoti
George Hamilton (Count Dracula), Susan St James (Cindy Sondheim), Richard Benjamin (Dr Jeff Rosenberg), Arte Johnson (Renfield), Dick Shawn (Lieutenant Ferguson)

"Plot: The Communists evict Count Dracula and his manservant Renfield from Castle Dracula so that the castle can be occupied by the Rumanian Gymnastics Team. Dracula decides to head to New York in pursuit of fashion model Cindy Sondheim, whom he believes to be the reincarnation of his lost love Mina Seward. He seduces her after meeting her on a disco dancefloor. But her fiancée, psychologist Jeff Rosenberg, notices the bites on Cindy’s neck and tries to stop Dracula." http://www.moria.co.nz/horror/love1stbite.htm
