Billy the Kid VS Dracula was enjoyably bad. This one was just plain bad.


I liked the strong female villain. I liked the sheriff's quote when he said that he never figured that coward to look Jesse James in the eyes when he shot him. The guy who played Hank/Igor had a good physique going for him and looked the part of a brute. There's really not much else I can say about it that's positive.

Juanita (Estelita) was gorgeous. She reminded me a lot of Rita Moreno. I also liked the way Jesse James looked in this: Not too young and handsome. Did you watch this on TCM? I had recorded this and the Billy the Kid movie and just got around to watching them. I agree with you: "Billy the Kid vs. Dracula" had a silly charm to it. This one was kind of dull.

You're right, she does kinda resemble Rita Moreno. And yes, I too recorded the double feature on TCM. I watched Dracula the first night and Frankenstein's Daughter the next.

Have always been fascinated by western-horror. John Carradine is always good, particularly liked him as the hobo that is turned into a pig in the "Thriller" television series "The Amazing Mrs. Hawk". And what a talented family the Carradine's were. I've seen both these movies and really liked Jessie James the best. Thought Cal and Jessie made a good team, too bad Cal had to die. John Lupton, good call - not too young and handsome, just right for the part in that Wyatt Earp attire. I knew sweet Juanita reminded me of someone, yes Rita Moreno. The perfect doctor appeared just as we all imagined her to; beautifully dressed with that famous accent and a wild gleam in her eyes dead set on continuing those experiments. Great crazy helmets, that fist fight when it's obvious who's gonna win, that annoying Lonnie, the nervous pharmacist and if you can believe this the very tall and sexy Marshal MacPhee (Jim Davis) is my distant cousin lucky me lol. Two great one-of-a-kind films deserve two thumbs up.
