DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN (1971) Reviving the monster

The Frankenstein monster is brought back to life by Dr. Duray, played by J. Carroll Naish ("House of Frankenstein") and Dracula, played by Roger Engel (a.k.a., "Zandor Vorkov"). Astute observers of classic cinema may notice shots of Kenneth Strickfadden's original electrical aparati used in James Wale's original 1932 FRANKENSTEIN starring Boris Karloff.

This masked Frank is perhaps the ugliest Frankenstein Monster in cinema history...

That's J. Carrol Naish as the good Doktor. He was also in House of Frankenstein with Boris Karloff!

I get such a kick out of Dracula's dialog! Priceless!

Is Dracula Frank Zappa

It's been such a while since I saw this on YouTube, I remember liking it. Dracula's dialogue sounds really corny, and that monster make up on the Frankenstein monster looks ugly. I hope to find it on DVD sometime, it's way better then the Michael Rennie film.

What's with Mr Whipple sporting a goatee & a wheelchair?

What's he going to do with the Frankenstein Monster? Seeking vengeance on all his former customers who 'squeezed the Charmin"!?!

LOL...have not seen this flick in 30 years...good memories

@saasc

He's played by Roger Engel, who used the Stagename Zandor Vorkov, doesn't surprise me he got to be Dracula since he probably bankrolled the film and was a "real vampire" in his day job: A Stockbroker

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES...A MONSTERPIECE..OF SCHLOCKUDRAMA...i could watch J Carroll Naish's dentures.... clack, all day

[DaphysaurusRex]

I just wanna know if that is Gary Busey in the movie with dark curly hair?

INteresting how Frankenstein, created by man; is such an ugly and violent creature; but dracula who sucks blood out of humans like a VULTURE and is undead; is portrayed as a handsome and seductive creature: Isn't that telling you something group Nevermore.

That's a great edition, I think it's out of print now. I know what you mean about Chaney Jr. Its odd to think that he and J Carrol Naish--the old guy in the wheel chair with the chattering dentures in this film--both starred together in House of Frankenstein back in the '40s!

[ToddRJones]

yes

[monster4josh]

I believe that commentary is by Sam Sherman, not Al Adamson (the director). Is that the edition that has an inteview with Forrest J Ackerman?
