Product Description
Very Rare Horror/Western, with
Baron Frankenstein’s daughter out west still carrying out her evil experiments just like her father & grandfather before her.
This time rather than Dr Van Helsing as her arch-enemy she finds legendary outlaw Jesse James determined to stop her from unleashing her army of killer zombies on the world.
An absolute one-off type of film, definitely a cult classic, and certainly worth seeing if only to see Jesse James battle it out with Frankenstein’s Monster !.
One interesting footnote, watch out for Jim Davis, – (Tv’s Jock Ewing in Dallas) in an early supporting role.
