DRACULA CONTRA FRANKENSTEIN (1971) always makes my top 10 JF film lists. It's the director's feverish homage to Universal's HOUSE OF DRACULA, only done in a deliberately comic-book style with spray painted colors and a very aggressive use of the telezoom.
This really needs to be seen in its 2.35:1 Techniscope OAR, but both the Spanish DIVISA and the US IMAGE DVDs are cropped to 1.78:1, ruining Franco's careful compositions. Also, both are incomplete, abrupty cutting off the atmospheric organ finale.
