Billy the Kid versus Dracula (1966)

Embassy Pictures
Directed by William Beaudine
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Vampire John Carradine lusts after young girls in the old west, intent on making them his undead "mates". He assumes the identity of an uncle and guardian of 18 year old Melinda Plowman after her parents are killed in an Indian raid on a stagecoach. She is engaged to none other than Billy the Kid, but Carradine soon breaks that up. A couple of superstitious immigrants and an old woman doctor manage to expose Carradine by the old no-reflection-in-the-mirror gimmick. Billy the Kid and Carradine's final fight (he never uses the name Dracula) takes place in an old mine and is pretty boring.
