Billy the Kid Versus Dracula sees John Carradine as the iconic vampire, and it's also probably the worst film iteration of the character.
There are few characters that have been portrayed on film more frequently than Dracula. Just about every possible angle has been exhausted – from Dracula 3000 taking him to space to Mel Brooks spoofing the story in Dracula: Dead and Loving It. A recent Dracula incarnation, Renfield, starring Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage shifts the focus from the Count to his devoted servant.
Filmed back-to-back with the equally ridiculous Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter in just eight days, Billy the Kid Versus Dracula has the dubious honor of being the only movie prolific character actor John Carradine regrets appearing in. According to Johnny D. Boggs' book Billy the Kid on Film, 1911 - 2012, the patriarch of the Carradine acting family said, “I have worked in a dozen of the greatest, and I have worked in a dozen of the worst.
Among the funniest scenes is one with an old lady inviting Dracula to visit her ranch after he shows a disgusting level of interest in her daughter. They are in a stagecoach together with a whiskey salesman and her brother who the daughter has never met. Dracula essentially ignores his traveling companions until he is shown a picture of the young lady, at which point he turns on the charm and gets incredibly creepy: “18 and beautiful? Yes, I would love to see her.
