Viewing Notes

Not goofy per sè, but an odd mess of a movie nonetheless. I have to admit to not really enjoying Carradine as Dracula, although he does a decent job in the role. Having a female hunchback is great though. Would love a 1/6 scale figure of her!

Of the two “House of…” movies, this is the one I’d never seen, or at least, I don’t remember having seen before.
