This is definitely a favorite of mine, though! I definitely prefer the Erotic Rites version, and even prefer that it doesn’t include the pointless inserts of Romay.

Great write-up as always. It sounds like a pretty typical JF film so that means I would love it. *Adds to "TO BUY" list* You had me after Franco and Vernon. Great write-up as always.

Nonetheless, having been exposed to Dracula contra Frankenstein in a huge theater when i was barely 10 years old left a huge impression on my mind; rewatching it many years later, those 15-something opening minutes in the mute made me feel re-captivated. Peace and love. And a big thank you for your blog and your shared knowledge.

I'm a sucker for captivating visuals. Plot, character development, etc. be damned! Just having Frankenstein painted silver made the film more compelling to me than Dracula contra Frankenstein, but overall I just think it's a more imaginative film than its predecessor. Thanks for your feedback, Sergio! I always appreciate hearing from other Franco fans. The movie is a treat for the eyes and ears, which is why I enjoy it so much.

Peace and love.

Great write-up. I've only seen this film once. I thought it was definitely an interesting take on the story of Frankenstein. I'm a big fan of Franco. Even with its flaws, this film is pretty good. I do think it could have been better if certain things had fallen into play. I agree that much of the cast doesn't seem that much into it. Hope you have a great weekend. Hey Kimberly. Great write-up.
