Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1970)

aka Assignment Terror, aka El Hombre Que Vino del Ummo

How bad is it? It's Al Adamson's best horror film... so it's not very good.
Should you see it? You could do worse.

Paul Naschy wrote and starred in nine Spanish werewolf movies, of which this was the fourth; by now you should be asking: what's a werewolf doing in a movie with this title? The plot consists of aliens who decide to take over the world by frightening the population with monsters. Call it plan 8 from outer space. This doesn't seem like an Adamson film and has two Spanish directors named, so he undoubtedly just added footage to another film, which was better than he usually made by himself. It's not unwatchable, at any rate, and is enjoyably goofy.
