Hi everyone;
I'm actually looking for that movie called "Billy the kid vs dracula".
William Beaudine did it ( I even think it's his last movie) and it's got John Carradine in it.

It's apparently public domaine according to the cinema snob who did a review of that movie but I can't find it on the internet archive or youtube or any other websites where I usually find other public domain movies.

Has anyone seen that movie and do you know where I could find it ? (As i wanna put the link to the movie on my website I would like something "clean"...I know I probably could find it on some websites about streaming but those are usually not so legal...)

Thanks!

I have it on DVD.  I think it's from a company called "Cheesyflix" or something like that.

I have seen it, but I do not know where you can get a copy of it. For me, the chief pleasure in watching it, is watching John Carradine play Dracula.

If you view it, I'd view it as a double feature with "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter." While I have not seen the latter, those two films just seem to go together on a double bill.

They also for me have the distinction of being one of my favorite film generas, the horror western.

I don't think BILLY THE KID VS. DRACULA is in the public domain, although curiously its companion JESSE JAMES VS. FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER is public domain.  The movie shows up on the  Library of Congress database as being registered to DeLaurentis Entertainment Group, and Burgo is right, the DVD is released by Cheesy Flicks. I don't think you'll find a "clean" link, but maybe; sometimes a copyright holder will allow free streaming with advertising.

These belong together. Like cheese and crackers, eggs and ham, and cheap beer and pretzels.

I've got the Joe Bob Briggs version of J"esse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" and its fantastic. I wish he'd do a version of "Billy the Kid...."


And to your question, check it out. It's solid b movie fodder.

Both are worth the watching....especially for fans of cheesy horror. Like me. :wink:
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

I feel very awkward saying this, but JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER is far superior to BILLY THE KID VS. DRACULA.  It's amazing that I can actually distinguish which of these movies is better than the other.

I kinda agree...the Jesse James movie is a bit better. But together they'd make a great double feature.

     They WERE a double feature....both made by William Beaudine, and released by Embassy Pictures in 1966.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.
