Dracula contra Frankenstein

1972 • FR HMDB
October 17, 1972

Dracula kills another innocent victim and Dr. Seward decides it's time to wipe him off the face of the earth. Armed with a hammer and a wooden stake, he arrives at Castle Dracula and duly dispatches the vampire Count. Next day, however, Dr. Frankenstein arrives with his assistant, Morpho, and a large crate containing the monster. Using the blood of a pub singer who has been abducted by his creation, the doctor brings Dracula back to life and uses him for his own ends. The Count and a female vampire continue to terrorise the town, so Dr Seward once again sets out for Castle Dracula. Unfortunately, he is attacked by the Frankenstein monster and left for dead. Amira, a gypsy, rescues him and summons up a werewolf to do battle with the forces of evil...

Two of the most famous monsters in horror cinema decide to "team up" to spread death and terror; fortunately, a gypsy with magical powers manages to eliminate them and save the situation. Almost without dialogue and closer to an episode of "Carletto, the Prince of Monsters" than to a horror film, this movie is signed by the undisputed master of trash, the Spanish Jesús Franco. Suitable only for fans (are there any?) of this "particular" director, who can imagine what awaits them... others should steer clear.
