Summary: Truely a classic , must see...!!!
Review: This movie is a classic , why else would it be rereleased 25 years latter. The casting for the main characters is splendid and the dialog between the same is even better.The metamorphisis of Groton is unparalled to this day.

Summary: Hey, King Diamond's newest album.
Review: This movie is bad in a surreal way, in a worse-than-Ed Wood sort of way, in a holy hannah-they-actually-put-this-on-DVD sort of way. I got this movie because I can remember even as a small child watching it and cringing, recognizing a bad movie before I knew what a bad movie was.Two initial points of observation: a. This movie did have a couple of fine chicks b. The dork playing Dracula was the worst Dracula EVER. The guy looks like King Diamond. I kept waiting to hear him sing like Abigail or go into some kinda, "Let me help you out of the chair, G,G,G, Grandma..." He's got this whole grease paint mime thing going on, and when he talks he's the only guy in the movie with a built-in echo. Udo Kier made a better Dracula. T.J. Hooker would make a better Dracula, or Matt Houston, or Mary Tyler Moore. Anyhoo, the plot of this movie, such as it is, involves King Diamond, I mean Dracula, going to find some descendent of Dr. Frankenstein because he wants some kind of formula or something. Now, for no other reason than to serve the movie title, he wants to dig up Frankenstein's horrying creation, the Monster---which fortunately, and conveniently, just happens to be buried down the road in the local graveyard. But the wheelchair-ridden latter-day Frankenstein decides he doesn't want to take orders from Count Diamond, I mean Dracula, so Dracula whips out this big plastic-looking silver ring the size of a Cracker Jack box and shoots a poorly-animated lightning bolt at the wall. Yeah, that's what I thought, Frankenstein, now straighten up. The Monster looks like a rotten baked potato (with chives) with a mullet. Cheap, extra-small jacket, block shoes (Frankenstein cliche meter: 9.6). So, in desultory fashion, much like the storyline, the Monster goes around attacking people, just kind of pushing and slapping them to death. Anyway, as this is going on, throw in some random hippie scenes, bikers, bad acting, bell bottoms, and a couple of cute chicks. So, full circle, the movie takes you on a ride that leads you to a church at the end of the movie, where King Diamond settles in to bite his victim with his big fat hinged plastic white fangs. But the Monster decides to crowd in, so, the fight is on, baby! The Thrilla in Salmonella. Tickets by the Boardwalk, just look for the little guy with the hat. Dracula, at approximately 6 minutes until sunrise, backs out of the church and fifty yards into the adjoining woods. He stands there trying to give his best onstage magician performance scary face while the Monster pushes and slaps at him. Finally, he rips off the Monster's arms and head, like something very cheaply stuffed, and then he's like, "uh, wait a minute, the sun..." He runs back to the church (the chosen sanctuary for all vampires) and just makes it to the steps when the sun hits him. Man---he was so close. Boy, I tell ya, if he had just made it another two or three steps, we coulda had a sequel. Dracula vs Milo, or Dracula vs the Blind Dead, or Dracula vs Xanadu.

Summary: Awesome "drive-in" b movie horror flick... a must see!
Review: This movie is fun for the entire family. It features one of the greatest "drug-trip-sequences" ever captured on film, it has the last performance of the classic movie star, Lon Chaney. You've gotta love any flick that somehow packs bikers, classic monsters, hippies and a blond with a body and cleavage that won't stop all in one movie. I don't know how to exlain it better than this... the acting is bad, the directing is sub standard the effects are complete crap but it's still an excellent flick. duh, go buy it:)

Summary: So Bad Its good
Review: This Movie is just awfull. J. Carrol Naish, Lon Chaney, Forrst J. Ackerman, Dracula, Frankenstien.It was made by enjecting scenes with Dracula and Frankenstein into a unwatchable movie called "Blood Freaks". It was really bad.I place it in my collection with "Bride of the Monster", "Robot Monster" and "Bela Lugosi Meets a Broklyn Gorilla" as a classic piece of junk. It is no "Spider Baby" or "Plan 9 from Outer Space" but is a step up from "Santa Claus Versus the Martians".

Summary: Dracula Vs. Frankenstein- a silly piece of trash!
Review: This silly excuse for a horror film is also one of the most inept films ever made. Along with the plot making absolutely no sense, amateur special effects, and BAD acting, we also get two classic film stars... Lon Chaney Jr. and J. Carrol Naish, both in their final screen appearance. These two were brilliant actors- what ...are they doing in [a movie] like this? They are really the only reason to check out this ...film that is probably the worst ever made! I don't know what Al Adamson was thinking when he made this... there is absolutely no excuse for this... Simply put, this is an utter disaster. DO miss it!

Summary: So bad it's.................bad!
Review: Will B-Movie buffs enjoy this Al Adamson classic? It all depends on just how cheesy you prefer your B-Movies! Flicks like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "Swamp Girl" stay fun partly because they cut to the chase, they move along at quick enough pace that you tend to stay enthralled with the campiness of it all. This Al Adamson classic definitely has it's moments, but much of the silly dialogue tends to be lengthy, the chase scenes drawn out, and the lighting often so bad it's.....well, you have no idea what is happening onscreen! The crowning glory is Regina Carol's Las Vegas song and dance number where two black-clad gentlemen prance around as her back-up singers. The song will leave you baffled, the gaudiness of the stage and curtains will leave you seeing spots for the rest of the evening, and Regina... I must admit, Regina was a hep chick! Dracula is comical, Frankenstein's mask looks like deep fried oatmeal, and the hippies placed throughout the movie probably looked way more way-out than the hippies of that era!
