So awful it's good

Made me laugh a lot.

And whatever happened to Lon Chaney Jnr? He looks absolutely terrible. I heard he turned into a drunk. Does anyone know if he's drunk in this? Because he looks it. LOL.

Lon Chaney was in a movie shot after this called The Female Bunch and you actually see him swigging spirits and spilling some on his face. He also talks in that one - very painful. His scenes in Dracula vs Frankenstein were shot in March 1969, the Female Bunch was shot in July 1969 on Spahn Ranch with Charles Manson nearby!

Definately the best "guilty pleasure" movie I've ever seen!

If you love and support Michael Jackson 100%, copy & paste this into your signature. We love MJ!

Lon Chaney had a severe alcohol addition all his adult life. When you watch his films you can see the deterioration from year to year. This was in addition to being a heavy smoker. Sadly, this great actor never even tried to get a handle on his chemical dependency.

It's a fun mess of a movie.
