Los monstruos del terror

One has to question the basic premise of the film: creating monsters to destroy Earth so the aliens can take over. Why not just create a bunch of zombies to do the job faster?

This low budget science fiction/horror film is significant for two reasons.

It is the third in the Waldemar Daninsky/Werewolf series, and the only one were the Count plays a supporting role. It stars Paul Naschy as the Count, and he also wrote the story. Patty Shepard, who plays Ilsa in the film, also starred with Naschy in two other Daninsky features. An American who moved to Spain to star in over 50 Spanish films, she died this year.

It is the last film of Michael Rennie, who played Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still (The 1951 original).

I don't know where the title Frankenstein vs. Dracula comes from, as Frankenstein was busy killing the Count over and over, even when he was in bed with one of Dr. Warnoff's (Rennie) assistant. At the end, Frankenstein takes on the Count after he transforms into the Wolfman. Place your bets as to the outcome.

Inspector Toberman (Craig Hill) seems to know all the tricks against the monsters in his mission to save Ilsa.
