Campy Western/Horror Genre


Money.  Billy The Kid Versus Dracula.  Need I say more?  After watching the hybrid Western/Horror film After Dark, this film is almost too perfect...a similar mix of a cowboy film and vampire flick!  Could this be After Dark's inspiration?  Judging by the numerous video clips on this article as well, this film seems like a winner...especially with Dracula's strange ability to turn orange when he is hypnotizing a girl.  This movie is complete with cowboys, Indians, and simple town folk who don't know how to deal with their blood-sucking friend:

"How?  How does one fight the supernatural?  A thing that is dead, and still alive?"

Best screenplay ever written?  I think yes.  It's campy films like these that make me proud to be an American.  there are plenty of campy films/tv shows like this as well...famous characters running into famous horror icons...think of all the Scooby Doo episodes with guest stars!  This truly is a film that time forgot!
