and began starring in many low-budget horror and erotic movies produced in Spain and France, often portraying a mad doctor or a sadist. He continued to make increasingly small appearances in high-profile films while often getting top billing in many Grade-Z low budget films. Horror film fans consider his three greatest horror roles to be ''The Awful Dr. Orloff'' (1961) which introduced Franco's famed mad doctor character, ''Dracula vs Frankenstein'' (1971) in which he actually played Count Dracula, and ''The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein'' (1972) in which he played the insanely evil Count Cagliostro. Franco considered ''Revenge in the House of Usher'' (1982) to be one of Vernon's greatest roles.
