SGM Month of Halloween Horror Movie for October 10

"Dracula Vs. Frankenstein" (1971)

From the back of the box: “Count Dracula meets Dr. Frankenstein and the two revive the infamous Monster for a blood bath of thrills and chills. Off-the-wall wild scream classic!”

The haiku review
Who was crazier;
Al Adamson or Ed Wood?
Films reveal the truth.

What rocked: The mondo bizarro opening title sequence; hadn’t seen anything this over-the-top since “Blacula.” Forrest J. Ackerman!

What sucked: Lon Chaney Jr.’s haggard look throughout his contributions to this film in his role as “the Mad Zombie;” this was his (and J. Carroll Naish’s) last film. The lighting in this film will make you think you’re going blind.
