Old Fangs for a New Monster: Terrence Fisher's Dracula aka Horror of Dracula

October continues to roll along. This week Mr. Chavez & I dive into the world of English Horror with 1958's Dracula aka Horror of Dracula. Although a flawed film that feels lazily directed, Terrence Fisher's film is our introduction to one of the great Dracula's of the Silver Screen - The Brilliant and Mesmerizing Christopher Lee. Lee would appear as Dracula nine times and is probably the most recognized Dracula after Bela Lugosi. Dracula (1958) would create a different kind of menace and a defiantly sexier Dracula. Lee is ably assisted by his on-screen nemesis and acting partner, Peter Cushing, as Van Helsing. The two of these men taking on such iconic roles is more than enough reason to look into this film.
