The subgenre of horror-westerns is not often used. In 1966, however, Embassy Pictures released a pair of this mixed breed on a groovy double feature. Joining Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter (1966) is tonight’s 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’s who of TV and Film Westerns character actors, putting Jeff in his happy place!

Carradine once said this film was “the worst movie he ever acted in.” 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. The Grue Crew found the best resolution on the Classic Horror Movie Channel and Kanopy, but, among others, it can also be found on Tubi and Plex. The film is available on physical media as a Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Up next in their very flexible schedule, as chosen by Jeff, is Beyond the Time Barrier (1960), directed by Edgar G. Ulmer (The Black Cat, 1934) and starring Robert Clarke (The Hideous Sun Demon, 1958).

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans: leave them a message or leave a comment on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel, the site, or email the Decades of Horror: The Classic Era podcast hosts at [email protected]

ROCKY JONES-MANHUNT IN SPACE – 1956 for THE SCHLOCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

Opening: Hello, good evening and welcome. You look great. But enough about you!. Let talk about Pirates... Arr! When a band of interstellar pirates, headquartered on a hidden planet, threatens the space-ways, and only the Space Rangers can save the day. Richard Crane, and Scotty Beckett star in this feature-length science fiction adventure from loving repackaged from the early TV series "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger. He’s always so cool, he’s always right, and he never fails! What a guy. So sit back, graba space stick and enjoy The delights of Rocky Jones Manhunt in Space.

Break: All that cheese and not a cracker in sight. Perhaps one of these nice chap can sell you some. And then after the ad break. More Rocky Jones-Manhunt in Space on the SCHLOCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!

MIDDLE: So LONG before television was learning to do “Clip Shows” and call them Flashback or encore performances TV executives had learned to repackage a “3 part serial from 1953” as a fully fledged 1955 motion picture called Manhunt in Space and send it off to the cinema. Rocky Jones, Space Ranger was a syndicated science fiction television serial originally broadcast in 1954. The show lasted for only two seasons and, though syndicated sporadically, dropped into obscurity. But because it was recorded on film rather than being broadcast live as were most other TV space operas of the day, it has survived in reasonably good condition. The film format also allowed more elaborate special effects and sets, exterior scenes and much better continuity. Indeed, many of the effects that became standard sci-fi fare, such as the forward view screen and automatically opening doors were seen first on Rocky Jones. They may have been plywood but they were NEW plywood. In this film Rocky and crew's spaceship must defeat "space pirates." Of course the writers Carl K. Hittleman who also Wrote Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter and Marianne Mosner from Lassie and Shazam, couldn't just refer to them as pirates; in fact nearly everything in this show with a name is prefaced by the word "space" just to make it clear where it's being used. This early 1950's Space Opera is complete with a hero by the name of Rocky Jones, played by veteran movie and television actor Richard Crane later to be known as DICK Crane. Poor Dick was not at all typecast when he left Rocky Jones to play Commando Cody Sky Marshall of the Universe, while simultaneously, appearring in the Lone Ranger as Billy. He eventually settled into the world of medicore guest appearances on shows like Perry Mason, General Electric Theatre, 77 Sunset Strip,Wagon train and Lassie. But back in the 50’s, Rocky Jones is the quintessential action hero – brave, strong, handsome, highly moral, and always ready to defend his beliefs with action. To women he was irresistible but like bollywood there was no kissing or physical displays from Rocky. That kind of comraderie was strictly for the compulsary annoying sidekick’s Ranger Winky played by Scotty Beckett, who for most of his acting carreer before was know as Child Uncredited and after this just as Uncreditied. It seems Rocky Jones stole his childhood and in a twist Michael Jackson couldn’t get away with, sidekick number two was 10 year old Bobby played by Robert Lyden . Fortunately for us Robert left the acting profession in 1957 after playing Creighton Chaney. Not so the case with the lovely Sally Mansfield aka Vena Ray, Naviatrix and Rocky’s love interest in that wholesome 1950’s hubba hubba mini skirted but non sexual way. She moved onto the upbeat world of the Gene Autry Show , Mchales Navy and the Andy Griffith show.

And what would a Space Opera be with an elderly and brilliant Professor Newton, Played almost to perfection by Maurice Cass, who in spite of being a genius, makes just enough miscalculations to get them into real trouble. Maurice had bit parts in Over 50 films before Rocky Jones Plucked him from Obscurity before plunging him back into obscurity. Blondie Goes to college, Enemy Agents meet Emery Queen and Charley Aunts to name too many.

Surpisingly the Director Hollingsworth Morse is actually quite a big name in Hollywood. Fall Guy, Dukes of Hazard, Isis, Marcus Welby MD, Shazam, H.R. Pufen stuff and the Lone Ranger are just a few of the 69 TV shows he directed For a complete list please send a 10 note with a self address envelope to the address at the end of this film and I’ll see what I can do.

Closing : So for those of you who fell asleep, Vena is stranded in space by wicked pirates! Rocky makes the Orbit Jet invisible with Professor Newton’s latest doohickey! Winky sings a song! Rocky & Winky track the pirates to their secret base -- it’s no surprise that

they turn out to be employed by the naughty Cleolanta, who’s still so hot for Rocky that you can almost see her thighs quiver whenever his name is mentioned.Played superbly by Patty Parsons, another of those shy acrtesses’ who choose to use the name“uncredited”.If it wasn’t for the costumes and vanilla bondage, this could have been long Friday night for me. I don’t get out much at my age. And what was with the actors pressing buttons and pushing levers that don’t exist; that was just a blank wall. I don’t even have eyes and I could see that. And if Rocky Jones tells you to "go knit a sweater" (and she actually does!) when they have a disagreement! All I can say in closing is Hooray for emancipation and join me next week as we sift through the chaff of the Public domain to find that ine germ that is good enough to be shown on THE SCHLOCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. “Toodles”

Billy The Kid Vs Dracula (1966) Dractober Review

Billy The Kid Vs Dracula (1966) brings a Transylvanian twist to the rootin' toothin' Vild Vild Vest! #Dractober #Review

Over a quarter of a century before SyFy transformed high concept into low art, prolific Hollywood director was churning out such mash-ups as “Billy The Kid vs Frankenstein’s Daughter” and “Billy The Kid vs Dracula”. In fact, those two would turn out to be the final feature films he directed, capping off a career which began in the silent era and spanned over 250 credited movies.

Billy the Kid vs. Dracula (1966)

My rating: 6/10

Of course the least realistic thing about this movie is that Dracula went to the American west - he's fought cowboys before, he knows that usually doesn't end well for him.

Anyway, I kind of liked this one. Carradine is enjoyably creepy and menacing, and on the whole I thought the movie did a pretty good job transferring the classic Stokerian story beats into a western setting. Also, that bat prop was hilarious.

Here it is! The “Big Daddy” trailer I payed for!

“Big Daddy” was filmed 1965 under the title of “Paradise Road” and was written, directed and produced by Carl K. Hittleman. It was released 1969 and mostly shown in drive-in theaters and as part of a double feature.

Victor Buono plays A. Lincoln Beauregard, the titular Big Daddy. It is only his second starring role in a movie. People don’t seem too sure on the genre since I read that some called it an action/romance and some a horror film.

The plot is summarized like this: “A visitor to the Everglades swamps in Florida encounters and falls in love with an uneducated girl. But he finds competition for her affections from the unlikely and mysterious A. Lincoln Beauregard. He also discovers danger from nature in the form of vicious alligators and from the mystical in the form of a voodoo witch doctor.”

Fact is since its initial run in movie theaters “Big Daddy” disappeared, it was never sold to TV or got a VHS print. The movie is considered lost.

I really, really wish I could watch the whole thing. I knew seeing the trailer would hype me ven more. But here’s what surprised me: I thought based on the two photos I’ve seen from it and his role description that Victor would play his age in this. He was 27 when the movie was shot but is obviously supposed to be older than that. I think in the close-up you can see a bit of aging makeup around his eyes. And I knew he would play the antagonist in the love triangle but I didn’t think he’d be The town bad guy™.

That’s literally the only picture from the movie “Big Daddy” (1969) that I could find and it fucking pains me because it’s one of only a handful of his movie starring roles and he’s apparently allowed to look normal and his actual age in this.

All I could find out is that it’s a horror film directed, produced and written by Carl K. Hittleman (pictured on the left, with actress Joan Blondell ) and that it was filmed in 1965 under the title “Paradise Road”, but was not released until 1969.

In the movie a man (Reed Sherman) who’s visiting the Florida Everglades falls in love with an illiterate girl, and competes with the mysterious A. Lincoln Beauregard (Victor Buono) for her affections. He also encounters vicious alligators and a voodoo witch doctor.
