“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1972)
aka Dracula Contra Frankenstein; aka Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein; aka Dracula vs. Dr. Frankenstein; aka The Screaming Dead

This is the third film with the same title in three years, but this one was directed by Jesus Franco, rather than Al Adamson. Unlike most Franco films, this one has no nudity (a shame - there's one pretty blond I was hoping would strip) and the violence is muted. This film also has a wolfman. There's little dialogue, little characterization, but plenty of attacks (though no real confrontation between Dracula and Frankenstein). The make-up is poor, as are the effects and there are too many zooms - a Franco trademark.
