Carol Marsh, Christopher Lee, Melissa Stribling

First attempt at a close to faithful adaptation of the Bram Stoker's classic, but filled with plenty of thrills and chills.

    One of the more original and best films. The Lee Dracula gave me the breeps from and unbeleivable early age, Hod I had liberated parents.

    The Hammer horror movie is better than the Lugosi classic- but its got wonderful Christopher Lee in it! and Peter Cushing!

    These movies scared the living bee gee bee's out of me as a kid! This was the most brutal Dracula I had seen at the time. The color adding a real sense of horror w/the blood & those blood red eyes! Not to mention he was a physically imposing figure who towered over his victims.

    Ah the good old Hammer Horror films, what sweet music they made. The story is loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel with the excellent Christopher Lee as the Count and Peter Cushing as van Helsing giving the perfect combination of hero and villain.

Although Lee only gets to speak a few lines in the film, he does pull of a very memorable performance and certainly one of his more famous roles.
