Mama Dracula

Description

Haematologist Peter Van Bloed is brought to Transylvania by Countess Dracula, who offers him a million dollars if he can come up with an artificial blood substitute. The Countess explains that her longevity is due to bathing in the blood of virgins. Her two twin sons Vladimir and Ladislas obtain virgins by abducting women from the clothing store they run. Van Bloed requires a large supply of virgins for his experiments. When the policewoman Nancy comes investigating the disappearances, the Countess has her imprisoned. But after finding Nancy, Van Bloed falls in love with her.

Description

Cult director Al Adamson brings The kings of horror together in one film - they meet in a fight of fright! Judith Fontaine (Regina Carrol) is looking for her sister Joanie, who has apparently disappeared into the hippie community of Venice, California. As it turns out, Joanie has become the victim of Groton (Lon Chaney Jr.), an axe-wielding homicidal maniac. Dr. Durray (J. Carrol Naish), the last of the Frankensteins' bloodline, is now running a house of horrors by the beach and has been performing experiments on Groton's victims. One night, Count Dracula (Zandor Vorkov) visits the doctor, showing him the original Frankenstein creation that was buried in a nearby graveyard. With Dracula's help, the doctor painstakingly revives Frankenstein, and uses it to take revenge on his professional rivals. This entry in Troma Team Video's Al Adamson collection comes with a commentary track by producer Sam Sherman and a featurette "Producing Schlock."

inexpensive fun.......2007-07-16

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!!!!.......2007-02-05

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).......2006-05-08

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.

As lousy as this movie is-.......2006-03-03

-it scared the crap outta me as a kid when Dr. Shock aired it in the 70s (WPHL - Philadelphia). I miss that show. :(

It seems they have it confused with another movie..........2006-01-29

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!

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!.......2007-08-20

Where do I even begin with this???????????????????????????
I have been on a classic monster kick(thinks K.I.A.)and have been
watching the Universal,Hammer and Paul Naschy famous monsters.
Tonight I put in Dracula VS. Frankenstein and oh! MY! I have thought
I seen them all? This starts out with choppy bad editing of Dracula
(played by the famous ZANDOR VORKAV???)Leaving the cemetery
cut and I do mean CUT to a Las Vegas show(hey Vegas)with our
lead actress Regina Carrol(anyone?anyone?)performing a 50's
dance number for a audience who looks like they belong at
a Grateful Dead show then a Vegas show.Cut again to Dr.Frankenstein
played by the great actor but very feeble here J.Carrol Naish
who reads his lines from cue cards and has the best set of pure
white dental choppers you ever seen.But that's not it folks there's
more!!! We have the great Lon(have another drink)Chaney JR.
giving his all! The Frankenstein Monster in this has such a
lumpy face he looks like he has been french kissing a hornets
nest.We do however get the final battle between Drac and Frankie
and it's a doozy! Dracula wins(oh!c'mon like you really are going
to watch this..or better yet care)just to have the sun come up
at the time of victory.This movie is in the top 10 worst films
of ALL time.It really is that bad! Zandor Vorkov gets the award
for blinking his eyes the most in any motion picture...seriously
he blinks every time he speaks a word and with the prop guy
holding the cards he gets to say a mouthful in a incredible
non-performance. A plus in this is J.Forrest Ackerman who
at the time was the owner of Famous Monsters of filmland
magazine...So watch Dracula Vs. Frankenstein...IT'S A
REAL SCREAM....................."cough"

BOTTOM OF THE BARREL JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-04-02

I had a friend(who is no longer on my christmas card list) who told me that this was just great and very funny. WRONG!!!!!!!!!! This is the pits and very sad to see many old time actors (Lon Chaney Jr, and J.Carol Nash, both in their last roles) trash themselves in this trash that isn't even as good or as funny as "Billy The Kid Vs Dracula"!!!!!! The worst and not worth getting if it were free.
