This suggestion from Bex is just absolute ridiculous fun. It will not scare you in the least. If you love Halloween, but can't do scary movies, you'll love this.

It's exactly what it promises: Billy the Kid has to go up against Dracula. You'll also love that they film everything in the day, but tell you it's night. They don't even put a night filter on!

Loaded up on adrenaline and susphrine (an injection they’d give those with life threatening asthma) I lay down on the floor watching Twilight Zone reruns at my grandmothers house. I have no idea how Billy the Kid Vs. Dracula came on next, but even at a super young age, I had horrible taste. I was transfixed and smitten. I wanted to be them both in an eternal battle that never favored one. Kino Lorber picked this up and restored it, and it blew my mind that it was on sale just a couple weeks ago. Now I can’t wait to load up on similar drugs and watch this again; the first time since I was 8yo.

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.

i don't think i ever mentioned it here but some months ago i stumbled across a very very bad movie called "Billy the Kid vs Dracula"

i watched it, of course, and it was just as delightfully terrible as i expected, but ever since i simply have not been able to stop thinking about it

i think, somehow, this movie may have fundamentally changed me

John Carradine- BILLY THE KID VS. DRACULA (1966)

Let’s discuss vampire Billy 🦇

He tries to take out a vampire who’s been terrorizing a town (there’s actually an old movie called “Billy the Kid vs Dracula”) but instead is turned himself. He feeds off the many cattle available in the West so that he doesn’t need to hunt people. Or, if he can’t survive without human blood, he wanders the countryside at night, feeding off campers he finds, being careful only to take a little from them. Maybe another vampire shows him a bordello where women are ready and willing to feed vampires. Weirdly enough, I think being a vampire would make him less dangerous. He’d be nearly impossible to kill so he wouldn’t have to fight for his life so much. He’d be stronger and faster than any human. He couldn’t be locked up because he can just disappear and reappear and walk through walls.

What do you think? And what do you think he’d look like as a vampire?

oh my God this is all so well said idek what to add lmfao

The feeding off cattle bit is interesting to me, because I feel like he'd be reading the paper or a friend would tell him about this mysterious animal killing the livestock but not eating their flesh, just sucking them dry of blood, and this man is sweating bullets like "Oh that's so weird wtf"

And with feeding off campers and wanderers, he'd feel so guilty. Like, awful. He'd sit down with them, chat a while, just try and be as friendly as possible and tell them he's also just passing through. And its plausible, his horse is tied up to a nearby tree, because no matter how fast he is, he'd still prefer a slow, scenic ride. He'd wait until they fell asleep, off of drinking or off of exhaustion, and take absolutely as little as possible, just enough to get him through the next day, just until he finds the next town.

I feel like he'd look about the same as a vampire? paler, obviously, but I do think his eyes would be that much bluer. Just absolutely striking, dare say inhuman, but he shrugs off each compliment with a shy smile.

How I think him and you'd meet is a farmer's daughter situation. You're sitting on the porch, you can't sleep well, it's perhaps midnight when you see a figure moving towards the pen your father lets the cattle and sheep graze in. Of course you've heard of the thing that's been sucking cattle dry, a chupacabra, a chimera, something evil. And, being a farm a ways away from town in the deep west, you rush inside for the shotgun, finding your way out to the barn with your chemise and bloomers, confronting the man as he jumps the fence. His blue eyes are literally inhumanely beautiful, especially so wide with surprise at a girl pointing a shotgun at him. He isn't afraid. But he's absolutely intrigued.

Curse of the Undead, 1959. The rare horror western, joining the ranks with the likes of Billy the Kid Vs. Dracula and Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter.
