The premise

Dracula kills another innocent victim and Dr. Seward decides it's time to wipe him off the face of the earth. Armed with a hammer and a wooden stake, he arrives at Castle Dracula and duly dispatches the vampire Count. Next day, however, Dr. Frankenstein arrives with his assistant, Morpho, and a large crate containing the monster. Using the blood of a pub singer who has been abducted by his creation, the doctor brings Dracula back to life and uses him for his own ends. The Count and a female vampire continue to terrorise the town, so Dr Seward once again sets out for Castle Dracula. Unfortunately, he is attacked by the Frankenstein monster and left for dead. Amira, a gypsy, rescues him and summons up a werewolf to do battle with the forces of evil...

Horror Vault's take

When a determined vampire hunter finally stakes the infamous Count Dracula, he believes the nightmare is over — but a scheming Dr. Frankenstein has other plans, dragging the undead lord back from oblivion to serve as his personal instrument of terror. As darkness spreads across the land, unlikely forces must rally against an unholy alliance of classic monsters. This 1972 Spanish horror mashup gleefully throws Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, a werewolf, and gypsies into one gloriously unhinged gothic stew. Fans of Euro-horror excess will find plenty to savour in its atmospheric castle settings and creature-feature chaos.
