dracula vs. frankenstein start in oakmoor cemetery on a dark cold and stormy night a count dracula ( zandor vorkov ) dig the remains of the frankenstein ( john bloom ) creature up . the film then switch to a beach near an amusement park in las vega . jodie fontaine ( maria lease ) be wander around on her own when a big ugly guy call groton ( lon chaney jr. a lon chaney ) chop her head off with an axe . the film then switch to the vega strip where jodies sister judith fontaine ( the director wife regina carrol ) be a headlining act and we see her performance for a few minute a the film become a low rent mgm musical . afterwards she discuss jodie with sargeant martin ( jim davis ) from the miss person bureau and judith doesn not receive much encouragement and decides to investigate jodies disappearance herself . meanwhile jodies decapitate head have be reattached to her body by dr. duryea ( j. carrol naish ) who just happen to be the last living member of the frankenstein family and now conduct his experiment from an amusement park attraction call dr. duryea creature emporium which exhibit various freak . one night count dracula turn up and convinces frankenstein to reanimate the monster . judith team up with a guy name mike howard ( anthony eisley ) and a guy know a strange ( greydon clark ) and his girlfriend samantha ( anne morrell ) and they eventually stumble across the truth and which be honest i do not really understand and and have to fight for their very live against count dracula and his silly look laser beam shoot ring and both frankenstein monster and mad scientist and groton and a dwarf name grazbo ( angelo rossitto ) and a rapist biker name rico ( russ tamblyn ) and whew what a crazy film and i have barely touch the surface of what happen . produce and direct by the infamous al adamson i love this crazy and almost unbelievable film . you can not really judge dracula vs. frankenstein by standard film criterion and instead you just need to sit back and enjoy the ride because i personally think this film be great fun to watch . dracula vs. frankenstein quite literary have everything and it have a frankenstein monster that look like a speeding train have hit it face head on and count dracula with a silly look beard and an afro hairstyle and who talk with a bizarre echo throughout and have plastic teeth that bulge out of his mouth and a drug addict mute hunchback assistant and a wheelchair bound dr. frankenstein with a gay look goatee beard and ancient comet and lab equipment that would look dated during 20 and we do indeed see ( well almost a it film in the horrible day for night process ) a dracula vs. frankenstein fight at the end and a biker gang and a weird guy name strange who get excite about play with an old tyre in an alleyway with his girlfriend . the script be all over the place and the dialogue be insane a dracula say thing like your fear will fully energise the molecular structure of your blood and or a cop that say if you have get a fireplace burn some wood in it and it will be a lot good than run around on the street to a bemuse judith and mike and the hippy also provide plenty of choice dialogue and let not forget dr. frankenstein mumbo jumbo we be not butcher . we be scientist and almost every line be an absolute classic laugh out loud moment and i love all of it . dracula and dr. frankenstein only meet once in the film and generally speak dracula and frankenstein monster be relegate to bite part character a the film focus on dr. frankenstein experiment and judith investigation and which be a shame . also and the plot be hardly logical and it make virtually no sense whatsoever a dracula say dr. frankenstein serum will help him create an army of undead vampire and some nonsense about the human body be reanimate with a natural substance make when someone be decapitate but what do that matter when a film be this consistently entertain . the special optical effect be terrible and check out the laser beam from dracula ring . i think the make up on the frankenstein monster be ok and it look quite freaky . there be some gore and a couple of rip off arm and some neck biting and a few chop off head . there be also one brief shot of female nudity . technically dracula vs. frankenstein be a bit of a mess and there be some awful day for night shot and the performance have to be see to be believe and the music get on the nerve after a while and the prop and set be cheap and the photography be point and hope for the best stuff . but have say all this what it basically boil down to be that i find dracula vs. frankenstein just so entertaining and load of fun and and surely that what watch film be all about . impossible to recommend a most sane people will hate every demented second of it and but i be not most people be i. i will sign off by say i love this film and so bad it utterly brilliant .
