It's one of those "so bad that it's good" flicks in my opinion. It would have been great to see MST3K do this movie, although I laugh my way through it, without any commentary, every time I see it.
It just blows my mind that it was originally intended to be a biker movie!
"Good Mid-nite to ya!"
Actually it was always a horror film, but it initially had no Dracula or Frankenstein in it. There were bikers in it, but the main thrust of the movie was a mad doctor looking for a blood serum and all that, and the movie was considered so bad, even by B movie standards, that someone at the company, Independent International Pictures, thought they should junk it. Producer Sam Sherman came up with the idea of adding in Frankenstein and Dracula when Anthony Eisley said, "Dr. Durea, at least that's the name he uses." Then Sherman figured, "Who else could he be?," came up with the idea that he would be the last living member of the Frankenstein family, threw in Dracula as well, and the rest is drive-in movie history.
