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...

Curiosidades

Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein is a 1972 horror film directed by Jesús Franco and starring Dennis Price, Howard Vernon, Alberto Dalbés, Carmen Yazalde and Luis Barboo.

Production

Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein was shot in November 1971, with location shooting at the Santa Bárbara Castle in Alicante and the Palácio dos Condes de Castro Guimarães in Cascais, Portugal. The film is a production between Spain, Portugal, France, and Liechtenstein, through Cooperativa Fénix Films based in Madrid, Interfilme Produgées Cinematograficas based in Lisbon, Comptoir Francais du Film Production based in Paris, and Prodif Ets.

The film is almost entirely devoid of dialogue. He would make films later in his career which also lacked dialogue with El miron y la exhibicionista (1985), Vampire Blues (1998), and La cripta de las condemnadas (2007).

Most of the score of the film by Bruno Nicolai is drawn from Marquis de Sade: Justine (1969) and Count Dracula (1970). While Daniel White is credited in some versions of the film, Franco biographer Stephen Thrower stated that White had "little if any involvement." Some sources credit White with playing the role of Danny, the innkeeper.

Precise details of the film shoot are unclear, with a press article from December 1971 stating that shooting in Alicante had concluded, while a press article about Paca Gabaldón dated January 1972 described it as her more recent film. Thrower stated that with these details, it was likely shooting was done during the production of A Virgin Among the Living Dead and Jungfrauen-report.

Concurrently with the original shoot, a version with more nudity was created and screened at the 1972 Cannes Film Market.
