Watching the end of a Hammer horror "The Devil's Bride." Silly, scary, funny, and creepy all at the same time. And made even better by Christopher Lee. lol

Lugosi's Dracula was always in control of himself; even when he moved in to bite his victims it was slow and deliberate. Lee's Dracula was, at times, far more feral--one moment the perfect gentleman, the next barely a step above a vicious wild animal....Christopher Lee as Dracula, does it get any better?
Lugosi had a menacing stare, but there was something about Lee's portrayal of the character that I just can't explain.
Last night, Into the Storm, about Winston Churchill, and part of Judgement at Nuremburg
...and for about a week I've been trying to get through MST3K's take on Bride of the Monster.
Which just reminded me that I'd seen Bride of the Monster with live dialog and sound effects by the L.A. Comedy Connection, way back in the late seventies or early eighties.
Oh sure she's not for talking on a date, honestly she just grunts and groans.
I've got a collection of Hammer Horror films.
Being that time of the year, I'll break out a few of them tonight and tomorrow.
I want to say Vincent Price couldn't work with either Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee in some of the Hammer films, because he was
contractually obligated to AIP.
While he wanted to, he couldn't be loaned out.
Dracula Prince Of Darkness is good, but Horror Of Dracula is better. Also The Mummy from 1959 with Peter Cushing costarring.
Rasputin The Mad Monk is okay, it gives Lee a different character that shows more emotion than Dracula or the Mummy.
Night Creatures with a young Oliver Reed is also good.
"The Devil's Bride" - B - Christopher Lee in a rare "good guy" role for a change and French Duke out to save the son of a WWI buddy who's fallen in with Satanists between the war. Real good Hammer movie and one I'd not seen. GREAT between war Iron on display everywhere... Bentlys, Morgans, a Bugatti or 2 and even a yellow Rolls Royce! Those rides alone were worth the price of admission!
