The one where Dracula doesn't turn up was the very good BRIDES OF DRACULA and the one you did not list was DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS which was the first time Lee played the role after HORROR. There's also THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES which I think came after all of these. Anyway, thank you for allowing me to discover my own mistake. I made the correction in the piece.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-32642629197649396692008-10-18T21:03:00.000-07:002008-10-18T21:03:00.000-07:00Forgot DRACULA A.D. 1972 in the list!!Forgot DRACULA A.D. 1972 in the list!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-72207111907705780922008-10-18T17:17:00.000-07:002008-10-18T17:17:00.000-07:00Mr. Peel, You mentioned seven Christopher Lee Drac...Mr. Peel, <BR/><BR/>You mentioned seven Christopher Lee Dracula films.<BR/><BR/>I recall six:<BR/><BR/>HORROR OF DRACULA<BR/>DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE<BR/>TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA<BR/>SCARS OF DRACULA<BR/>SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA.<BR/><BR/>Please elucidate with the one I forgot.

That film may be goofy as hell, but I find it kind of addictive. For me, SATANIC RITES doesn't quite have that amount of rewatachability though I've still seen it a number of times. <BR/><BR/>I know there are a number of cheap PD versions of this on disc but if you can find the Anchor Bay version I think that'll be best. It was a pretty early DVD release but maybe you can find it somewhere. Anyway, it's a good transfer and is worth seeking out. <BR/><BR/>Thanks very much for the kind words as always!Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-14485554040055962402008-10-17T09:35:00.000-07:002008-10-17T09:35:00.000-07:00"...even if I shouldn’t enjoy it like I do, I’ll s..."...even if I shouldn’t enjoy it like I do, I’ll sit down and watch that whole thing at the drop of a hat."<BR/><BR/>I couldn't agree more. This was the first Hammer horror film I ever saw and it was at an impressionable age so I look back at through that nostalgic filter. Even though, THE DEVIL RIDES OUT is probably my fave Hammer film, this one is a right up there.<BR/><BR/>There is something about the mood and atmosphere of this film, that you nailed quite well in your review, that gets me every time. I also like the contemporary setting and the Satanism angle. All cool stuff.<BR/><BR/>And as you point out, it all boils down to Cushing and Lee. Does it really get any better? These guys could spend 90 min. reading from the phone book and make it compelling.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, do you what the best version of this film to get on DVD? There a lot of knock offs and I'd like to get the most bang fer my buck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
