Yes
it's bad in that "special" way. Assignment Terror is House of Dracula, Plan 9 From Outer Space, and "Monster Bash Pinball" all rolled into one movie! But boy oh boy is it loads of fun! One of things I love about Naschy, aside from that barrel-chest of his, is that you know he'd probably been daydreaming since childhood about how to fit every Universal Horror monster into a single film – and with Assignment Terror he almost succeeded. His fabulously ludicrous premise falls victim to its own ambition: aliens from a dying world set their sights on Earth and plan its conquest by bringing to life Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, Waldemar Daninsky, and some Mummy named Tao-Tet. The monsters, however, are ludicrously fabulous in their roles, with Naschy portraying both Waldemar and (I believe) Frankenstein's monster. But the real stars in this one (again, aside from Naschy's script) are Manuel de Blas as Dracula, and the Mummy's truly wonderful make-up: both are very, very creepy, but for very different reasons. This movie is utterly unabashed - I highly recommend it.
