A few years back, I picked up two Mad Monster Dreadful Dracula heads in a lot of Mego, Mego-Like, knock-off parts, and reproduction pieces. I'm pretty sure that one of the heads is vintage Mego, but I'm not sure about the other one. I had just assumed it was a CTVT head, but I was researching the Dreadful Dracula page on the Mego Museum and the head doesn't look like it matches the CTVT head shown here.

The one on the left has MEGO CORP on the back of the head, so I'm pretty sure it's a legitimate, vintage head.
But the one on the right has such faint printing, I can't read it. I thought it was CTVT, but notice the widows peak on mine is much sharper than the CTVT Dracula on the Mego Museum gallery. Also, mine seems to have a longer face with more detail than the one pictured. They both appear to have white painted eyes with a red painted dot, but the dots on mine are slightly bigger than the CTVT Dracula. Of course this could all be variations in the lighting or quality of the photos, but they just don't look like the same heads to me.

Any ideas?
