I just thought of a faux-Soviet film, like Comrade Detective. But it is a vampire film about supernatural, immortal capitalist Landleeches. You could keep all of the vampire fighting and supernatural tropes but with Bible == Capital Vol. 1, Crucifix == hammer and sickle, garlic == corn corn-man-khrush

And instead of the more esoteric, like not being able to cross moving water, or enter a house without permission, they have to abide by all of the pre-socialist housing and tenet regulations of that SR. Since Vampires used to represent feudal lords, I think this could be very naturally adopted.

Maybe something based on this?:

Powers of Darkness (Swedish Mörkrets makter) is an anonymous 1899 Swedish version of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel dracula, serialised in the newspaper Dagen and credited only to Bram Stoker and the still-unidentified "A—e."

It is a variant or adaptation rather than a direct translation, with added characters, new plot elements and significant differences from the original. It served as the basis of a shorter Icelandic version under the same title the following year (Icelandic: Makt Myrkranna), which appeared as both a newspaper serial and a book.[1]

Powers downplays the vampirism of Stoker's novel and portrays Dracula primarily as the head of an international cult inspired by Social Darwinism, whose goal is elimination of the weakest and world domination by an elite.
