The annals of horror cinema are littered with numerous unlikely encounters. Over the years, Billy the Kid has met Dracula, Jesse James has met Frankenstein's daughter, and Abbott & Costello have met, well, pretty much everyone.
Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula is the latest in this continuing series of improbable historic meetings and comes to us courtesy of writer/director Timothy Friend. Sadly, it's as disappointing as it is far-fetched.
Not that there's anything wrong with far-fetched, mind you. This is B-movie horror — the more far-fetched, the better. A flick like this doesn't have to be believable; it just has to deliver on its super-sensational title in an engaging way. And Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula doesn't do that.
Friend has conceived a film with two concurrent storylines, neither of which ever really takes off.

Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula is less a throwback to good old Aip drive-in flicks from the 60s than it is a throwback to straight-to-video Troma films of the 90s. I know that probably sounds like good news for you Troma junkes looking to view a micro-budget indie that re-captures the glorious goofiness of something like Redneck Zombies, but unfortunately B and C vs. D doesn't have the same reckless abandon as those early underground movies and fails to push the envelope, winding up a somewhat fun, but mostly dull, film that doesn't really deliver on its tantalizing premise of, well, Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula for one.
That's not to say there's not some talent at work here. For one, we've got Tiffany Shepis playing Bonnie. Shepis is considered a...

Chicago – B-movie and horror fans (like yours truly) have to perk up when they hear a title like “Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula,” recently released on DVD (and even more when they see that awesome cover below). It’s too clever a concept not to be fun, right? Sadly, no. Despite a strong performance from one of the title characters, the movie doesn’t live up to its promise at all. It’s the last thing that a B-movie with such an intentionally ludicrous title should be — boring.
DVD Rating: 2.0/5.0
If you really think about it — the legends of Bonnie & Clyde and Dracula are both soaked in blood. So, they may not be as far as apart as one first assumes. And they are both sexually-driven icons with the passion of Bonnie & Clyde feeling like a good fit for the inherent sexual aspect of the bloodsucker. So a movie about all three characters should be bloody,...

Mashing up horrific and historical characters has been all the rage in print for the past few years, and some of those best-selling books are now on the way to theaters. But they were beaten to the punch by Bonnie & Clyde Vs. Dracula, an ambitious independent production that has already played a number of festivals and limited theatrical release, and arrives on DVD tomorrow, April 26 from Indican Pictures. It’s the second feature, following 2007’s Cadaverella, from writer/director Timothy Friend.

Indican Pictures will release the deliciously-titled genre cocktail movie Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula on Blu-ray and DVD on April 26.
Okay, you probably have a pretty good idea as to the story of this low-budget indie film written and directed by Timothy Friend, but we’ll give you a plot synopsis, anyway:
Tiffany Shepis means business in Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula
After their latest heist goes wrong, legendary outlaw couple Bonnie (Tiffany Shepis, Trade In, Night of the Demons) and Clyde (Trent Haaga, Splatter Disco) find themselves on the run from the law and in need of some fast money. Finding shelter in a small town, they crash at the mansion of the notorious Dr. Loveless (Allen Lowman, Shadow Falls Memorial), where they discover that he has one helluva secret: Deep in his cellar the recently revived Dracula (Russell Friend) awaits…and when gangsters meet vampires, there’s bloody hell to pay!

Having already done the festival rounds and picked up several awards along the way, action/horror mash-up Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula is ready hit screens big and small. If I'd only read the film description, I'm not sure how interested I'd be, but this preview roped me right in. Writer/Director Timothy Friend (Cadaverella) throws us back to the 1930s, where the infamous duo get themselves mixed up with a force even worse than the police. After a bank robbery goes bad, Bonnie (Tiffany Shepis, Tromeo and Juliet, The Violent Kind) and Clyde (Trent Haaga, Suburban Nightmare, Gimme Skelter) seek refuge at the home of Dr. Loveless (Allen Lowman, Ride with the Devil), but something strange and unexpected lurks in the basement. Here's the kickass trailer:
The only thing missing is Olyphantypants.

At the age of 14, Tiffany Shepis made her film debut with a bit part in Troma's 1996 cult fave Tromeo and Juliet. Since that unassuming start, Shepis has gone on to become one of indie horror's most loved, and most talented, performers. I recently sat down with Shepis for a free-wheeling, unfiltered conversation about her life, her career, and long hours, bad food and stupid people.
First, congratulations on your recent nuptials, Ms. Honeymooner. A little birdie named Heidi told me you've married Sean Tretta, the director of your wonderful new film, The Frankenstein Syndrome. FanGirlTastic wants the inside story, so make with the dish, sis. Had y’all known each other previously? Did you swoon at first sight?
Thanks! Yeah, that li'l birdie Heidi has a big fucking birdie mouth! [laughs] Yes, I did get married to Sean. We met briefly before working together on Frankenstein Syndrome at a Fango [Fangoria convention] in Los Angeles.

When vampires start to become involved in the pulp world of the 30’s, with some good ol’ gangbuster action, there are only a few good choices producers can make to represent an era. Here, Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula provides the formula. In the solution, what the film delivers is an oddball mix of character development and weird science.
The idea seems sound. The gangster couple's exploits stirred the public imagination in a time that's been polarized as highly criminal. Certain gangsters ran amok. To include the undead implies that the influence of the mafia is indeed eternal. No matter how hard the law tries, they cannot be put down.
For most of the film, Bonnie (Tiffany Shepis) and Clyde (Trent Haaga) are simply hiding out from the law. In the shack they are in, they are slowly just learning about what's happening nearby. They don't...

Gangsters and horror go together like moonshine and an over-used liver. You know that there is going to be a reaction and that reaction will not look pretty. Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula is a true story, according to the trailer, that has not yet been told. Not only were Bonnie & Clyde notorious '30's gangsters, but they were also one of the few to encounter Dr. Loveless and his imprisoned secret, Dracula. Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula will take viewers to a dark place at the Nevermore Film Festival, and here you will find laughter and a new take on an old tale. Have a look at the trailer for the film below.
A synopsis for the film:
"Bonnie & Clyde vs. Dracula combines the rough and tumble world of 1930's era gangster movies with the violent gothic atmosphere of a classic horror film.
