dracula v frankenstein have get to rank near the top of the all time bad film list . a cheap independent quickie obviously mean for the drive in circuit and it only redeeming grace be the many down on their luck veteran performer in the cast . j. carroll naish and confine to a wheelchair and play yet another relative of the original dr. frankenstein call dr. durea . he and his mute assistant groton ( lon chaney jr. ) be still at it and murder unsuspecting young girl for experimentation from their secret location in a house of horror locate in an amusement park . into the mix come count dracula ( zandar vorkov ) who promise to revive the famous monster ( john bloom ) in return for the evil doctor help in develop a serum to make dracula invincible . heroine judith fontaine ( regina carrol ) enter the picture look for her missing sister . she be aid in her search by hero anthony eisley and cop jim davis . along the way she encounter evil biker rus tamblyn . even famed magazine publisher forest j. ackerman appear prove that he should have stick to magazine . well you would think with such a cast of seasoned veteran the picture would have be well . i hate to think what it would have be without their participation . the act other than from naish and chaney and davis and eisley be just plain dreadful . carrol who must have be the producer girlfriend and be just plain awful . vorkov a dracula be laughable and the frankenstein monster face look like a roasted marshmallow . the climatic battle between dracula and the monster be a hoot and when you can see it in the poorly lit setting . the production value of this film be non existent . and it really sad to see such veteran performer a naish and chaney ( in the final film for both ) involve in such nonsense . tamblyn and who have once be a rise star at mgm in the 50 be embarrassingly bad . eisley and davis both do what they can with weak direction and material . dracula v frankenstein be a sad end for two fine actor . unfortunately and they end up much the same way a their contemporary karloff and lugosi and appear in god awful grade z movie at the end of their career . they all deserve well .
