“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 (1971)
aka Blood of Frankenstein, aka They're Coming to Get You
How bad is it? It's absolutely abysmal.
Should you see it? Sadly, no.
This is the second film Al Adamson made under this title, and it appears that he just used whatever ideas he had left over. Veteran horror actor J. Carrol Naish plays the owner of a carnival that has the real Frankenstein monster and Dracula; he was confined to a wheelchair and it's depressing. Dracula is played by (presumably pseudonymous) Zandor Vorkov, who sports curly hair, a goatee and a voice put through an echo chamber. The director's wife, Regina Carrol, plays the aging starlet role once again. Lon Chaney, in his last role, plays the doctor's assistant. Jim Davis, Russ Tamblyn, Angelo Rossitto and even Forrest J. Ackerman also appear - all to no avail. The film is slow. Deathly slow. Boringly, achingly slow.
