Then an old man named Tristram Halbin comes for a visit. The second story, "King of the Vampires" deals with a slight-figured killer, called the King of the Vampires by Scotland Yard, which sends Brenner to investigate. The third, "Monster Raid," is about a man turned zombie when he OD's on his experimental drug, who returns to avenge his death at the hands of his widow and her lover-now husband. "Spark of Life" deals with a doctor Mendell (Lon Chaney Jr.) obsessed with the experiments of a thrown-out professor named Erich von Frankenstein, and two of his students who try to restore a cadaver to life. "Count Alucard" (called "Alucard" by Carradine and "Dracula: on the end credits, is a variation on the Dracula story, with the Count acquiring the deed to Carfax Abbey from Harker, as vampiresses and dead bodies start turning up.

The character of boy scout Jim Morgan in this film was then 11-year old Carl Craig's (aka Kurl Crane) only acting job. But even though he had no ambition to become an actor, he nevertheless became a celebrity to friends and fellow children in Japan. He later became a U.S. Air Force pilot (which he had always dreamed of becoming) and later a U.S. Customs Service pilot. He was also an advisor on the staff of then U.S. President George Bush. But Carl still fondly remembers his one acting role to this day and is kind enough to share his memories of the film with his many fans at Japanese monster (kaiju eiga) conventions.
