"Carradine reportedly said that Billy the Kid vs. Dracula was the only movie he regretted doing in his nearly 60-year career, which encompassed hundreds of films."
"Beaudine reportedly shot both flicks in 16 days, and it shows in their day-for-night visuals, threadbare production values, and mediocre scripts and casts."
"His vampire is a bug-eyed old lech who wants to take young, nubile Betty Bentley as his vampire bride - something to which her fiancé, legendary outlaw Billy the Kid, strenuously objects."
Billy the Kid vs. Dracula features John Carradine as a disinterested vampire and is part of a double feature with Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter. Both films, directed by William Beaudine, are poorly produced and have mediocre scripts. Carradine expressed regret over his role in Billy the Kid vs. Dracula, which features a vampire pursuing a young woman against the objections of her fiancé, Billy the Kid. These films, despite their flaws, helped establish the horror Western genre, leading to more successful titles in the future.
