It has been produced as a musical named Dance of the Vampires. The film is set in the heart of Transylvania and the story appears to take place sometime during the mid-19th Century.

Abronsius is old and withering and barely able to survive the cold ride through the wintry forests, while Alfred is bumbling and introverted. (Wikipedia)
