    "It's just Pure Fun!". Yes Mr. Thomas you nailed it! I love the look of those books. What fun that would've been buying and reading them as a kid. Or now as an adult. I am sure that you remember the 1966 film "Billy The Kid vs Dracula" featuring the awesome Mr. John Carradine as Dracula! I was only 8 years old and I remember thinking that Billy the Kid better have Silver bullets or Dracula will kill him! And as You say. It was just pure fun. Before you do Frankenstein Google this movie and on Wikipedia it tells of a Frankenstein movie that was released with this one. I don't remember that Frankenstein movie. Thank you Mr. Thomas for all these fun and wonderful videos. -James & Bella

      Thank you, James and Bella! We must be about the same youthful age because I saw that movie in the theatre when it came out, lol! Hope you are doing well! Thanks for checking in!

      ​@@thewestisthebest. Thomas. I am age 66. Born in 1958. I believe that you and I grew up in the Best of Times. For me 1960-1970-1980. We're just the most fun and innocent times. The last generation to come of age in innocence and awe. We weren't exposed to everything my grandson is exposed to. No Internet. No computers. If you missed watching the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown then you had to wait a whole nother year to see it. You know what I'm talking about.

      ​@Littlebiglibrary I'm a tad older. An age of innocence and awe. And we learned so much from The Greatest Generation before us. I love the way you express yourself, James. You, sir, are a shining bright spot in a dark world. Rock on!

    I've never seen those books - going to have to find them out in the wild. Those were greart days when genre books like these were everywhere.

    This is great. I've always wondered about this series. I've only found the Witching of Dracula and two of the Frankenstein entries.

      @TheBookGraveyard they are expensive when you find them, and the Frankenstein series is also a challenge to put together these days. Thanks for checking in, I just subscribed to your channel.

    Fun review Thomas. Although I think I saw a few of these back in the day, I never bought any of them. However, I do love the series of Dracula stories by Fred Saberhagen. It's a different take on Dracula than one may expect.

    The first in the series is available as an ebook. The rest are extremely costly and not available for Kindle. That's kinda sad.

    I picked up from eBay the first one, dracula returns, and I enjoyed it. I’m not too keen on the main plot point of how the professor controls Dracula and I see that he’s in each of the other books still controlling him. It would be more fun if Dracula was on his own. However, Dracula’s dialogue is written very well, his philosophy sound. I can see myself picking up the second one at some point for a fast read when I need more Dracula in my life and I like the character Ktara and am curious to see her motivations in the other books as to how the first one concluded. 👍🏻

      @madlynx1818 thanks, yes, they are all fast, pulpy reads. Glad you enjoyed the first one!
