Billy the Kid Versus Dracula (1966)

A Fun Western Horror


This film is a pretty good "why not?" idea. Why wouldn't a vampire or Dracula that's been around for, supposedly, centuries travel to the American Frontier or,  as we tend to call it today, the Wild West? Really, if Dracula has been around for centuries then it would be possible. Heck, why not?

Why didn't they call Carradine Dracula in the film? Well there were many vampires in myth history that and not just Dracula - all the settlers knew was vampires were suppose to exist and may have never herd of Dracula during the American Frontier. Buy them not calling him Dracula in the film it made the film a bit more realistic in my opinion. And the tile of the film says Dracula for drawing power - makes sense to me.

If you liked this film then check out the companion film Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1966) also starring John Carradine. Makes for a fun double feature.
