Brief Description  Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971) is an infamous American science fiction horror B-movie directed by Al Adamson and produced by Independent-International Pictures. Celebrated in cult cinema circles as a "so-bad-it's-good" classic, the film is a bizarre patchwork of genres, combining classic universal monsters with 1970s biker culture, hippies, and slasher elements. It holds historical note as the final film appearance for iconic horror veterans Lon Chaney Jr. and J. Carrol Naish.

Plot:
Dr. Durea (J. Carrol Naish), the wheelchair-bound last descendant of Victor Frankenstein, runs a "Creature Emporium" spook house on a California boardwalk. Durea's mute, mentally disabled assistant Groton (Lon Chaney Jr.) regularly stalks the local beaches to decapitate young women with an axe, bringing the bodies to Durea's hidden basement lab. Durea uses their blood to synthesize an experimental serum to achieve eternal life. Count Dracula (Zandor Vorkov) arrives in California after digging up the original Frankenstein Monster (John Bloom) from a local graveyard. Dracula proposes a pact: he will help Durea revive the Monster using his vampire blood, and in exchange, Durea must give him a perfected serum so Dracula can walk safely in the sunlight. Meanwhile, Las Vegas lounge singer Judith Fontaine (Regina Carrol) arrives in Venice, California, to look for her missing sister, Joanie, who was captured and killed by Groton.

She teams up with an aging hippie leader named Mike (Anthony Eisley). Judith and Mike track the clues back to the amusement park. Inside the lab, absolute chaos ensues. A dwarf carny assistant, Grazbo, accidentally dies on an axe; Groton is shot by police; and Dr. Durea accidentally gets decapitated by his own lab machinery. Dracula kidnaps Judith and takes her to a nearby forest. The Frankenstein Monster, who has grown fond of Judith, turns on Dracula. In a gruesome final battle, Dracula literally rips the Monster's arms off. However, Dracula loses track of time, gets caught in the open field, and disintegrates as the morning sun rises. Filming originally began in 1969 under titles like The Bloodseekers or Blood Freaks. It was intended to be a gritty biker gang sequel to Al Adamson's successful Satan's Sadists, explaining the prominent roles for a biker gang and actor Russ Tamblyn.
