Dracula (1958 movie)
|
Dracula (1958) is the first of a series of Hammer Horror movies inspired by Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. It stars Christopher Lee as Count Dracula and Peter Cushing as Professor Van Helsing. In the United States, it was retitled Horror of Dracula to avoid confusion with the classic 1931 movie of the same name starring Bela Lugosi as the Count.
Directed by Terence Fisher, it is remembered for its pioneering combination of fantasy, romance and sexuality, and its unprecedented gore.
