Woody Allen frequently attended “interesting” dinner parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein, which he recalled being attended by an eclectic collection of VIP guests being “well served” by young women.

A typewritten letter obtained by the New York Times and reportedly penned by Allen in 2016, described “many” of the 89-year-old filmmaker’s visits to the seven-story Upper East Side townhouse that Epstein called home.

The letter was reportedly part of a collection of missives written to celebrate the billionaire’s 63rd birthday.

“Being neighbors,” Allen said he and and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, were often invited to dine with Epstein and “always” accepted before the disgraced financier died by suicide while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.

“Lots of dishes, plenty of choices, numerous desserts, well served,” Allen wrote. “I say well served — often it’s by some professional houseman and just as often by several young women [reminding] one of Castle Dracula,” comparing the experience to the “young female vampires” seen in a Bela Lugosi horror film.

Allen’s newly obtained letter comes just weeks after the Wall Street Journal reported that a collection of cards written for Epstein’s 50th birthday included a cryptic and suggestive letter from President Trump saying “may every day be another wonderful secret.”

The president has denied penning that note and quickly filed a lawsuit against the Journal seeking billions of dollars in damages.

Calls for the Justice Department to further release details of its Epstein investigation have grown louder since Trump came into office in January after indicating he’d make those files public. Former Trump ally Elon Musk suggested in June the reason the investigation is being slowed is because the president — a longtime friend of Epstein — is mentioned in the Epstein files.

Neither Trump nor Allen have been accused of any wrongdoing involving Epstein.

Allen famously married Soon-Yi Previn in 1997, when she was 27 and he was 62. Previn was the adopted daughter of Allen’s ex-girlfriend, Mia Farrow.
