1971: Dracula vs. Frankenstein by Al Adamson is an
extremely low-budget horror thriller, starring aged film
stars J. Carroll Naish and Lon Chaney Jr.
In the film,
Count Dracula (Zandor Vorkov) has the last living
descendant of Frankenstein (Naish) revive his famous
ancestor's creation (played by John Bloom).
Dracula
hopes to use the creature in his bid to rule the world.
Legend has it that the monster was supposed to be turned
into a vampire in the film, but that the over-done
make-up left no room for fangs.
Lon Chaney Jr. played
Frankenstein's mute and homicidal slave Groton. Famous
Monsters of Filmland editor Forrest J. Ackerman cameoed
as a hapless victim.
