I have heard of tons of Vs. movies that were made in the 60's and before. Things like Dracula Vs. Frankenstein, Dracula Vs. billy the Kid, Wolf Man Vs. Frankenstein, etc.
Any of these worth watching. And in any of the movies do the horror icons actually have a fight like in freddy vs. jason or is it like stupid and they just stare at each other.

There's a fight in Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, and the most famous monster brawl in film history is Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein....Abbott and Costello vs Bela Lugosi as Drac vs. Lon Chaney as the Wolfman vs Glenn Strange as Frankenstein. Yep, the same Glenn Strange who played the bartender on Gunsmoke. Not really a fight, but Bela Lugosi's Dracula-clone Tesla is pulled out of his coffin and into the sunlight by a talking, goofy-looking werewolf in Return of the Vampire.
There's movie-within-a-movie fight between Teenage Frankenstein and Teenage Werewolf in How to Make a Monster.
Frankenstein and Dracula duke it out yet again in Al Adamson's Dracula vs Frankenstein...with the hilarious scene where Dracula jerks off Frank's arms.
And now of course we're in the 70s, the golden age of exploitaion, when everybody was fighting. Most notable monster romps are those of Paul Naschy's werewolf...he fought everyone, even a Yeti. In the first, Assignment Terror, we have a mummy, Frankenstein, Dracula, aliens, and Paul Naschy his own self making so much mayhem that it's hard to believe it's actually boring. The best Naschy monster fight is in The Werewolf vs the Vampire Women, available uncut from Anchor Bay as Werewolf's Shadow. And, yes, yak hair does fly.
And there are all sorts of wrestlers vs monsters in Meskin movies from the fifties and sixties. The best is probably Santo vs the Vampire Women, though Santo and the Blue Demon vs Dracula ain't half bad, either. Wrestling Women vs the Aztec Mummy and the Robot vs the Aztec Mummy are aslo good for chuckles.
Lots of 70s horror comics with great Universal-influenced monster brawl covers, though.
I like when the monster's fight.

Yes, I would agree--but unfortunately all monster fights are determined by which monster has the best market potential. Frank meets the Wolfman was made when big Frank was still king of the monsters, so...the fight is stopped by a flood before it finishes, but there definitely seems to be more yak hair flying than grreen grease paint, if you know what I mean.

I like Abbott and Costello, but I hated the cheesy mummy suit Khlaris (horrible play on Kharis, IMHO) was wearing in Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. Instead of doing the wrappings induvidually and building the face out of clay like Jack Pierce did, the make-up guys made a mummy suit and a mask. You could even see the suit folds at the knees and elbows. Still worth a look, though.
