Christopher Lee's Dracula is an apex predator not a figure of romance. He played it straight as long as he could but the series like the studio ran out of juice.

Not only have they aged better, but vampires have gotten so overexposed that I can't stand the sight of them anymore. Miss Jones dragged me to see Twilight ... I spent the whole film wishing Blade would make an appearance.<BR/><BR/>- SimonMary Shelley Overdrivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578406747231556777noreply@blogger.com
