Dracula Untold bites the UK box office this week, but are we reaching vampire overload, James wonders...
Drac is back (in, erm, black, but we're not going to crank AC/DC because it's cliché, it's anachronistic in this medieval setting and it might be mistaken as a reference to Iron Man).

Strangely, the first epic battle between the two creatures of the night was a 1967 color Filipino film entitled Batman Fights Dracula.
Take a breath before you start feverishly clicking away on Google looking for a link to a torrent of the movie. Unfortunately, Batman Fights Dracula is what Hollywood refers to as a "lost" film. There are no existing copies of it to be found anywhere. At least, no one has located one yet. Who knows what could be in the basement of some old projectionist's house somewhere in the Philippines.
Not much is known about Batman Fights Dracula except what can be found on the only existing promotional piece from the film. A poster features a few shots from the...
