Product Description
In 1968 George Romero traumatized a whole generation with his legendary and revolutionary "Night of the Living Dead" which truly marks the birth of modern horror movies. This movie was followed by the cult classic "Dawn of the Dead" in 1978 and the apocalyptical "Day of the Dead" in 1985 and Night of the Living Dead (1990). The George Romero trilogy became instant classics. With a worldwide community of fans the phenomenon is not without evoking the Star Wars mania! Camera in hand Nicolas Garreau crossed the Atlantic Ocean from France to realize his dream. Roaming the steep roads day and night of a sometimes lugubrious Pennsylvania countryside he found the locations and people who made the Romero zombie trilogy come alive. This DVD contains exclusive interviews with cast and crew members and reveals all the filming locations of the trilogy including locations not known to the public like the missile launch pad of "Day of the Dead" and the real basement used in "Night of the Living Dead - 1968" a guided tour of the mall with Ken Foree and others along with extras and bonus footage.System Requirements:Running Time: 60 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:HORROR/CULT MOVIES UPC:827421001146 Manufacturer No:08-007

 inexpensive fun July 16, 2007
Don't expect much, and you can actually enjoy this movie! This ended up being the wrong movie, I was looking for a different version of this title, but it was pretty good.
 Insanity and psychedellia!!!! February 5, 2007

I too remember seeing this on television around 1979 or 80. I was just a kid and to me a title like "Dracula vs.
Frankenstein" conjured images of Glenn Strange battleing John Carradine in glorious Black and White.
Boy was I shocked!!! This is closer to a hippie drug festival than any of Universals monster classics.
It completely shattered my image of what a Frankenstein/Dracula movie could be. My mind was blown but good.
I HATED IT!!! Guess what? 30 years later I love it. I realize now that director Al Adamson had a good excuse
for the state of this film. He made it for no money. Unlike Ed Wood, Adamson had the ability to make inteligent choices in his direction, His only limitations were budget and the culture of the time. The Hippie Dippy 70s were not exactly the best era to be making gothic horror. At least Sam Sherman (producer) and Adamson tried.
And, considering the odds were not just against them, but stabbing them in the gut, they succeded.
Is Al Adamson a better director than Wood? Of course he is. Al had much more adversity to conquer than Ed Wood. Adamson was tryingto make a contemporary hollywood competitor with a time limit and meeting the demands of his distributers. Ed Wood was trying to make 1930's hollywood quality films on his own unending
schedule (sometimes taking years to complete).
Consider this: Ed Wood decided to make an alien invasion film based around footage of Bela Lugosi walking around dressed as Dracula. Thats just completely moronic! He had fotage of Lugosi as Dracula and decided not to make a gothic monster movie but a space age sci fi epic with flying saucers. A tragic waste. He could have made a Dracula movie and had a genuine classic on his hands. Think of it: Lugosi's last film and hes playing Dracula, his greatest role. Sorry folks, Al Adamson was John Huston compared to Wood.
 UNRELENTING HORROR (and that ain't a compliment) May 8, 2006

It was always a secret ambition of mine to be a movie trailer announcer during the heyday of drive-in cinema. I loved those bombastic voices carrying on about the cheesy movies as though it were the end of time. So I thought I would couch my review of this '71 "classic" in just those terms:
A FILM TO CURE INSOMNIA!
A NEW DEFINITION 0F HORROR
A FILM OF SUCH QUALITY AS TO MAKE ED D. WOOD APPEAR COMPETENT!
It's....DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN!
WATCH THE HORROR OF B MOVIE ACTORS NEAR DEATH AS THEY TRY TO BREATHE ONE LAST DESPERATE BREATH INTO THEIR ALREADY FORGOTTEN CAREERS!
LISTEN TO J. CARROLL NAISH'S DENTURES CLICK!
WATCH LON CHENEY WITH A BAD HAIRCUT KISS A PUPPY!
SEE FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND EDITOR FORRY ACKERMAN
HUGGED TO DEATH BY AN ACTOR WITH A GOAT-CHEESE OMLET ON
HIS FACE!
BEHOLD AL ADAMSON CONFUSE DAY FOR NIGHT! A TRICK POSSIBLE
ONLY BY THE GREATEST AUTUERS SUCH AS WOOD, HAAS, AND
HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS!
LISTEN AS COUNT DRACULA SPEAKS IN CONSTANT WALL OF SOUND
REVERB THAT WOULD TURN PHIL SPECTOR GREEN WITH ENVY!
WATCH THE PHONY MONSTER FIGHT AS DRAC SHREDS FRANK LIKE
A NANDINA BUSH!
It's...DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN!
Coming soon to a DVD bargain bin near you.

This version of Dracula VS Frankenstein is not to be confused with the 1971 J. Carroll Nash version with Lon Chaney. The other reviews on this page have it wrong! This version, starring Michael (the day the earth stood still) Rennie and The european wolfman Paul Naschey has space aliens trying to take over the world by resurrecting the planets most horrifying monsters, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man and the mummy. Once alive the plan is to break earthman's will and conquer the planet. The acting is certainly very poor (except for the great Paul Naschey a.k.a Valdimar Daninsky a.k.a the Wolf Man) and the make-up on frankenstein looks like a child did it. It does have that campy , cheesy feel about it and those who are fans of B horror will get their fill. As for the title though, i don't think that Dracula ever does fight Frankenstin!
