Just wartched "Dracula vs. Frankenstein" again. Here's a short list of important reasons why this film is so much goddamn fun:

1. Dracula shoots lightning bolts out of his ring.
2. Uber-cheesy Vegas musical number in the first ten minutes.
3. Dracula digs up The Monster in "Oakmoor Cemetery."
4. The actor playing The Monster was an accountant.
5. Dracula literally tears the monster limb from limb in the finale.
6. Early 70's rock music mixed with Bill Lava orchestral score.
7. J. Carroll Naish as the last of the Frankensteins.
8. Lon Chaney Jr. as his hulking mute assistant Groton.
9. Russ Tamblyn as sleazy local gang leader Rico.
10. Blood, gore, and more. Cheap gore and lots of it.
11. Hippies vs. Monsters.
12. Angelo Rossito as the little man who runs the horror museum.
13. Forry Ackerman does a victim cameo as "Dr. Beaumont."
14. Dracula is played by someone named "Zandor Vorkov."
15. Monster is revived by something called "The Zorna Comet."
