To me, this movie is perfection.

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

10 Stars for the hokiest and silliest monster flick ever. I love every second of it from the old Universal sets to Chaney and Naish in their final film roles even though Lon was so sick with throat cancer he could not speak at the time. It does not get much funner than this, folks. Russ Tamblyn looked and probably was stoned out of his mind when he gets brained by Big Junior Lon who was drunk himself as always. Make yourselves a bag of buttered popcorn and grab a liter of your favorite soft drink and enjoy a classic in schlock. A knock it out of the park for the late great Al Adamson for us Drive In fans. Enjoy horror lovers!

Around the time this movie came out I wasn't able to see it. I only got to view black & white pictures of it in a Famous Monster magazine. This doesn't seem like the quality you'd expect from Universal Pictures that is well known for in classic monster movies. This one is rather more like cheap B movies. I couldn't help but notice J. Carrol Naish as Dr. Duryea/ Dr. Frankenstein clicking his false teeth a lot when talking. Lon Chaney Jr. as Groton seem to be like Tor Johnson. They should of picked someone else as Dracula, cause Zandor Vorkov seem weak for the part and not what Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee fans would expect. John Bloom as Frankenstein's Monster was interestingly OK; his face reminded me of an Asian golem. Stupid thing about make-up artists is Dracula's hands weren't as pale as his face and Frankenstein's Monster hands didn't have that greenish hue color of his either. The House of Horrors could of been a lot better than it was. If movie makers are looking for something to remake cause they ran out of ideas for something original, this movie should be redone better than it was.

Dracula conspires with a mad doctor to resurrect the Frankenstein Monster.With a cast like Lon Chaney, Russ Tamblyn, Greydon Clark and Forry Ackerman, you might expect great things. I did. And you have b-movie director Al Adamson running the show, so you know any greatness is going to be offset by low-budget shenanigans. But you probably do not expect a turnout this bad.The film is riddled with problems -- an inconsistent plot (including a biker gang that has no connection to the rest of the story), a long filming schedule (causing people to age before our eyes)... and some unnecessary singing and dancing.Clean this picture up, edit out the unnecessary stuff, and you will then have a film. Still a bad film, but at least one that makes sense.

This is a very painful movie to watch if you love old horror films. That's because both J. Carrol Naish and Lon Chaney, Jr. both starred in this film shortly before their deaths. As for Naish, he was so sickly that he acted in a wheelchair. Additionally, he had lost an eye and could not remember his lines, so he read from cue cards--and you could literally watch his one good eye darting back and forth while the glass one remained still. A sad and creepy effect, I must say. As for Chaney, he was killing himself with booze and he naturally looks bloated and a shadow of his former self.Not surprisingly, these performances reminded me of Bela Lugosi in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. Like Naish and Chaney, Lugosi was dying and many rather pointless scenes were dumped into PLAN 9 by director Ed Wood, Jr.. Like Wood, Al Adamson seemed to just dump film randomly into the film, as he took scenes from a planned sequel to SATAN'S SADISTS (a biker film) and dumped them into this horror of a film. Additionally, he hired a lady who looks like a stripper to play lead.So is there any reason to watch this film? Well, if you want a quality film, then keep looking!! However, if you enjoy laughing at incompetence, then this film has it in spades. There's a Dracula who looks nothing like the familiar Count (perhaps he looks a bit more like a gay porn Dracula--you be the judge). There's also a Frankenstein that looks more like a mushroom man from ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE and his face is just,....well,...impossible to describe, though comparing it to Frankenstein is NOT possible! And, if that's not bad enough, the dialog and acting are horrid and the film just screams "crap" from start to finish! So overall, the film is horrible and it begs the question "was Al Adamson perhaps a worse director than Ed Wood, Jr."? With such great films to Adamson's credit as THE NAUGHTY STEWARDESSES, LASH OF LUST, BRAIN OF BLOOD, HELL'S BLOODY DEVILS and PSYCHO A GO-GO, if he ain't the worst director ever, he sure is a runner up!!FYI--Angelo Rossitto is also in the film. While he's not a household name, this midget starred in a heap of old horror films in the 30s and 40s--most notably in FREAKS and some Bela Lugosi films.
