My Son the Vampire (1952)

(London area; contemporary)

Absurdest comedy about a mad scientist called "The Vampire" (Bela Lugosi), and a homely old women who disrupts his plans to secure a uranium mine with which to power an army of 50,000 robots. Odd mix of traditional screwball comedy, horror movie, and Marx Brothers picture. I can't think of anything else quite like it.
