The movie poster implies that this is a parody of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" from 1991. Yet, the actual movie is more a parody of the "Dracula" movie with Bela Lugosi. So why this discrepancy?
shareOne poster spoofed the "Bram Stoker's Dracula" artwork. Interestingly enough, I don't ever remember seeing that artwork until I saw it on IMP Awards around the early 2000s. When I was a kid and "Dead and Loving It" was being released, this was the poster I always saw:

"KatTS" / "KoC" / "DP" / "SAM" / "K"
The closest reference to the 1992 Coppola Dracula film I could find in this parody appears on the trivia section:
Leslie Nielsen's wig when Renfield arrives at the castle and when Dracula goes to the ball was inspired by Dracula's hair in the beginning of the then recent Dracula (1992) which had been directed by Francis Ford Coppola and had won three Academy Awards.share
It's a spoof on both of them, there are plenty of parodies of the 1992 version in this. The 1992 Coppola version was probably what gave Brooks the idea to make this, much like how Robin Hood King of Thieves gave him the idea to make Robin Hood Men In Tights. (maybe I'm wrong but it makes sense)
shareAlso the scene where blood gushes out of lucy when they drive a stake through her heart is a clear spoof on the Coppola version. (That scene was not in the Lugosi version)
