In 1966, however, Embassy Pictures released a pair of this mixed breed on a groovy double feature. Joining Jesse James Meets Frankenstein\u2019s Daughter (1966) is tonight\u2019s feature discussion, Billy the Kid Versus Dracula (1966). Both of these genre mashups are directed by William Beaudine. Once again, Dracula is portrayed by John Carradine (House of Frankenstein, 1944; House of Dracula, 1945) and you might also recognize Chuck Courtney, who plays Billy the Kid, from (Pet Sematary, 1989). From there the cast becomes a who\u2019s who of TV and Film Westerns character actors, putting Jeff in his happy place! Carradine once said this film was \u201cthe worst movie he ever acted in.\u201d The Grue-Crew may have other thoughts. Check it out now and let us know what you think of this bizarre and fun blend of genres.  At the time of this writing, Billy the Kid Versus Dracula is available for streaming from several different sources.
