Join us for a bloody good time when local TV legend Count Gore de Vol (Dick Dyszel) returns to present another horror classic in the spirit of the original CREATURE FEATURE broadcasts, including vintage clips from the Count's vault and some interactive fun and games!This 1958 film is the first in horror studio Hammer Films' wildly successful Dracula film series. Christopher Lee's Dracula and Peter Cushing's Doctor Van Helsing (the duo's first star pairing, to be reprised dozens of times) battle it out on the big screen, aided by sumptuous color, a pounding score composed by James Bernard, free-flowing fake blood and a bevy of vampire brides. Considered extreme for its day, if relatively PG by today's standards, the film's stylishness remains undiminished.
UK, 1958, color, 82 min. NOT RATED
