Dracula vs. Frankenstein Plot Summary
What happens in Dracula vs. Frankenstein from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Wheelchair-bound mad scientist J. Carrol Naish as Dr. Duryea, the last descendant of the original Frankenstein, operates out of a hidden laboratory tucked behind the Creature Emporium, a spooky throwback to the old sideshow days on the Venice boardwalk. With his mute, simple-minded assistant Lon Chaney Jr. as Groton, Duryea conducts horrific experiments on young women to perfect a blood serum. The plan is twofold: the serum could heal his paralyzed legs and, somehow, cure Groton himself. A dwarf named Angelo Rossitto as Grazbo, the ticket taker at the Emporium, helps them traffic their grisly crimes as they push toward their darker aims.
