HORROR OF DRACULA (1958). SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Certainly the best of the earlier epics and probably most of my affection is remembering the first time I saw it, on a BIG movie screen on Halloween. Scared s---less when Chris bursts into the library to chastise incredibly lush Valerie Gaunt, the extremely vivid staking of Carol Marsh-at least compared to what I had seen-and the Jaw dropping finale when Drac and Van Helsing go Mano a Mano and the glorious scene when the Sun does its work! Just too cool!
Really do have a lot of love for this...so good on so many counts and Peter Cushing was just an absolute treasure. ALWAYS so twitchy and couldn't keep his hands empty and ALWAYS gave 110%. ****
