My Opinion:

A superb take on all the horror movies of old. Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman all star in this special effects laiden spectacular. The introduction scenes are in glorious black and white which just adds to the atmospheric feel of the film. If I was to have one criticism, it's that the action scenes between the werewolf and Dracula are a little too fast to be believable. This two disc DVD edition is brimming with extras. Enough to keep you busy for most of a day. A must addition to any horror DVD collection.
