Summary: If I could give this trash Zero Stars, I would.
Review: Dracula looks like an anemic Elliot Gould. The Frankenstein Monster looks like an overdone marshmallow. Russ Tamblyn (as a biker!) looks silly. J. Carrol Naish & Lon Chaney Jr. (in their last movie roles) just look sweaty & confused. A weak, poorly directed, badly acted horror film that's not even worth laughing at. At least seeing "Dracula vs. Frankenstein" heightened my appreciation for really great movies...like "Plan 9 from Outer Space," which is brilliance compared to this trash. (Come to think of it, though, both movies exploit aging, near-death horror film stars...nah. "Dracula vs. Frankenstein" still reeks more.)

Summary: Fun bad movie seen through the eyes of nostalga
Review: Dracula Vs. Frankenstein was seen by me in a time where I looked forward to horror movies on the weekend on TV. Most of the time, they were black and white and 30 or 40 years old (which to a kid might as well be 1000 years) and even the color ones had a certain "in a faraway time" feel. So, one of the big surpirses of Dracula Vs. Frankenstein upon seeing it again was that it was pretty contemporary to the 70's. It didn't seem so at the time. This movie is undeniably bad but it's bad in a way that you can sink your teeth into. If over the top campiness is a talent J.Carrol Naish is sure acomplished at it. He played the mad scientist to the stereotypical hilt. Make no mistake, scenery chewing makes these film more fun and he did it well. It's unfortunate that the clicking of his false teeth were constantly heard on the soundtrack though. Zandor Vorkov (his real name is Roger, a stockbroker I believe)manages to play Dracula with that same wonderful, juicy over the top and above campiness while managing to be a bit compelling. Since he was and isn't an actor by trade, I think this deserves some praise. While his look was all wrong (Think Frank Zappa with fangs and a goatee)he gave it his all and seemed to be enjoying himself. Lon Chaney Jr. turns in his last performance as the crazy mute assistant of Dr. Frankenstein. It's a bit poignant to know that he was very ill during this movie and died soon after. In fact, his part was written as a mute since his throat cancer prevented him from speaking well. The Frankenstein monster fares the worst. He's just there and not a part of the over the top zaniness that makes Dr. Frankenstein and Dracula so fun in this flick. The film seems to have it's heart in the right place(I think it wanted to be a bit of a tribute to those great Universal horror films), but the fact that it was filmed over the course of four years and was heavily rewritten and refilmed by people that had never evolved beyond exploitation in the first place kept it from being anything close to a tribute. Having the DVD gives some insight into the production as well as showing you an alternate ending (explaining why towards the end of the movie, Dracula's makeup and Frankenstein Monster look changes. It was filmed much later with another person playing the monster). It's a good look at the old ins and outs of B movie making. The great Forrest J. Ackerman makes a cameo by the way (which opened the way to some nice coverage in his Famous Monsters mag). If you take this movie in the spirit of nostalgic fun, you'll enjoy it. Bad movie fans will get a kick out of it too.

Summary: Dracula versus Frankenstein?
Review: I bought this film for a couple of dollars along with a really good copy of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE on DVD. The back of the video seemed intriguing enough so I thought it was worth the two bucks. Boy was I wrong (and I sure hope that blurb writer is making a lot of money)! The film sounds like an updated and revised version of Ed Wood's PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. Of course, that's such a bad film why would anyone try to update it? Anyway, the title is totally bogus because Dracula and Frankentein don't fight each other in this film. In fact, they are never seen in the same room. The acting is bad. The writing is horrible. The editing makes the movie look like the film was ran through a food processor. The lighting turns everything a dark shade of grey. The music clashes between suspenseful and hilarious. The dubbing (the movie wasn't made in the USA) doesn't match up well and makes a Godzilla movie look like an Oscar winner. Overall, stay away. In the words of Joseph Conrad's Kurtz "The horror, the horror!"

Summary: A fond farewell to the classics, in color!
Review: I know this movie gets bashed alot for various reasons, however, I like this movie! Here is the closest thing ever made in color, in more recent times(1972) to the classic Universal Horror Monsters. Admittedly Zandor Vorkhov is not much of a Dracula, but hey, you got Lon Chaney Jr. and J. Carrol Nash(who appeared together in House of Frankenstein!) Angelo Rossettio(who starred along side Bela Lugosi in many a film) and music by a guy who did same for many Republic Serials! Even Forry Ackerman gets into the act! The machines used in the Frankenstein lab were also the original Strickfadden machines used in the classic Frankenstein films. Buy this video!

Summary: DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN ?
Review: If your looking for cult, low budget, and just a plain silly excuse for a horror film, THIS IS IT! But I love this movie. One Tuesday, I was in the Honey Creek mall in Terre-Haute, I stoped in at SUNCOAST and was looking trough the old horror movies and I came across this one. I bought it and wathed it.I accidently put it in my Universal Collection by mistake. Just last Friday, I took it out and watched it again. But this time it seemed even greater than the first time. Dracula Vs Frankenstein is a total piece of history! The special effects are pretty gory but on the low budget level.Thats why you should buy Dracula Vs FRankenstein!

Summary: Dracula vs. Frankenstein is dynamite!!
Review: It's my favorite B-movie!! I have already bought me a DVD copy of the film and it was fantastic!! The best part of the film is when the Kings of Horror battled to the death. Regina Carrol was great as the heroine, Judith Fontaine. I don't care how bad this film was, 'cause it's one of my favorites. Any of you who are fans of Al Adamson, Regina Carrol, or this film, you should get this, because it's fantastic. Enjoy it!!

Summary: This is the definition of "So-bad-its-good"!
Review: Let's face it, if you're checking out a movie called "Dracula v.s. Frankenstein," you probably aren't looking for a masterpiece of artistic expression. This film is nothing more than a lot of hacked together plot lines, none of which were that good to begin with. It doesn't always make sense, but it is a BLAST to watch! This film has something for everyone. It has hippies, ax murders, busty singers, amusement parks, midgets, bikers, you name it & this movie has it. Oh, it also has Dracula (his hair has to be SEEN to be believed!) and the worst looking Frankenstein ever to appear on film. And for all of you who hated Lon Chaney Jr. as the complaining Wolfman, don't worry! He had lung cancer at the time, so he cannot speak in this movie. This is the definition of "So-bad-its-good." If you like this movie, I suggest getting a copy of the director's biography,"Schlock-o-rama: The Films of Al Adamson."
