R.I.P Christopher Lee! The Best Dracula Ever! (And Other Monsters Too!)

I don't often get upset when I hear that someone famous dies.  I'll think "That's a shame"...or something like that.  I did get a bit distraught over the death of Christopher Lee.  He was one of my favorite actors and one of the guys who helped to revitalize horror films in the late 50's and early 60's.  At a time when most 'monster' movies had gone the way of Sci-Fi and Aliens, a small studio in England, Hammer Films, released "Horror of Dracula" in 1958 starring Christopher Lee as The Count and Peter Cushing as Dr.Van Helsing.  Those two would go onto star in a whole series of Hammer Films together.  Besides bringing Dracula back to life, Christopher Lee was also "The Mummy" and "Frankenstein".  Lee and Cushing made movies for Hammer well into the early 70's before both actors got their bid career payoffs.  Cushing in "Star Wars" and Lee in  "Gremlins", "Lord Of The Rings" and many more.  Both great gentlemen have passed away now, but I can remember playing sick and staying home from school to watch "Taste The Blood Of Dracula" on TV, back when they showed movies during the day for lack of network programming.  Below a few trailer from my Fave Christopher Lee films.
