It’s a shame that Christopher Lee was already a bit synonymous with Dracula and couldn’t play this other vampire. He’d of been brilliant in the role and it would have given him something to do besides look menacing.
Great example at how good Hammer could do horror, before they went all “blood and boobs.”
