CountVladDracula I would like to recommend one of the worst TV mini-series ever made. It's not boring but it's very bad and easy to heckle. This may well be the Plan 9 From Outer Space of TV mini-series. It aired on NBC in 1997. It's called House of Frankenstein (not to be confused with the black and white movie of the same name). Sometimes titled House of Frankenstein '97.There's a cliché detective named Coyle, a spunky female reporter (who gets turned into a werewolf and later cured by the stupidest method possible). And there's the most incompetent vampire / Dracula knock-off ever, a vampire named Crispin Grimes, who later gets revealed as being a fallen angel who... wants the real Frankenstein Monster to display in his night club and so he sends an expedition to find the Frankenstein Monster in the North Pole... Again, to DISPLAY HIM IN HIS NIGHT CLUB! C. C. H. Pounder plays a Van Helsing type of character who is constantly calling the police station to tell them that their serial killer that the newspapers call "The Raptor" is actually a vampire.It's just so awe inspiring stupid it has to be a Nostalgia Critic episode.This wasn't even something NBC did for Halloween. It aired in November of 1997. And never got a video release. But you can find the whole thing on Youtube.The person who loaded it to Youtube broke it into Act 1 and Act 2 and each act is broken into about 9 pieces. It was originally a 2 part mini-series. And just about every 90s cliché and trope you can imagine is in it, to remind you that this isn't the version from 1944.There are so many immense plot holes. Werewolfism can be cured by temporarily flatlining a werewolf, The Frankenstein Monster was found in the North Pole (like in Mary Shelley's novel) yet he has to learn to talk like the Universal Studios version even though he's obviously intelligent. All vampires are fallen angels... The supernatural community of this city follow Crispin Grimes even though he has to be the most incompetent demon / vampire ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JJjy9DTF-w It's so deliciously bad it reaches guilty pleasure levels. My favorite part is when the Frankenstein Monster out wits the vampire and his henchmen by letting them think they can hurt him with an electrical shock collar. "They were foolish to think electricity could hurt me." That was actually the most amusing moment in the whole thing. This is so awful it deserves a cult following.

OldAFSarge I must say that I have to disagree with the reviewer from England, no disrespect, but this show is far from being bad. I just don't think I view some of the shows, both on the T.V. and at the movies, the way some reviewers do. I don't look at camera angles, lighting, location, and all the other items that a more professional viewer might look at. All I want to know is it entertaining and does it have one or more people in it that I like. This show has it all. Adrian Pasdar (Near Dark-1987) is the police officer trying to solve a few murders, which I will not go into as it might contain a spoiler or two. Teri Polo (Focker movies 2004 & 2010) is a favorite of mine, even though I refused to watch the Focker movies. CCH Pounder (WareHouse-13) and Jorja Fox (CSI) are all in here as well. Nicole Nagel played a vampire bartender, but sadly, according to IMDb has not done anything since 2007. I must say I thought this show had the coolest vampire I have ever seen. I thought the show had enough action and moved along well enough to keep one in his or her seat. It is hard to review this without giving away too much, but I will say if it ever comes back to T.V. and you get a chance, give it a shot. As for me, well, I keep hoping it will show up on DVD one of these days.

mord39 MORD39 RATING: 0 (of ****)I was happy to think that perhaps our old dear creatures from the wonderful Universal days would return in the nineties to breathe some life into the dead horror genre. Boy, was I mistaken.HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1997) is dumb, comical, and a travesty. It does not deserve to bear the title of its classical 1944 counterpart.Boy, is it over!

Tin Man-5 If fiction's three deadliest predators of man (Frankenstein's Monster, vampires, and werewolves) were loosed upon modern L.A., what would happen? This well-done miniseries attempts to answer that question. The results are a pretty lively horror film, with excellent special effects, good makesup, and a terrific cast. I'm surprised they didn't send this one to the theaters...all three and a half hours of it. Hey....it could have passed as a horror film's "Titanic."What really makes it work it the fact that they don't resurrect the traditional monsters of the old Universal films, but the actual literary beasts. The Frankensten Monster is straight from the book, against both humans and vampires in an effort to meet his own deadly agenda. The werewolves and vampires also closly follow their incarnations from ancient folklore, representing evil incarnate. Together, these three kings of Undead manage to make an exceptional made-for-TV effort. Just one question: Where was the Mummy's Curse?*** out of ****
