Vampires: The Bad & The Beautiful Photos


Hammer Horror

In 1958 Britain's Hammer Studios became the first to film "Dracula" in color (and what color!), starring Christopher Lee (top left) and Peter Cushing. Lee returned as the vampire in several more installments of varying quality. For "Taste the Blood of Dracula" (1970, right) Lee reportedly had so much disdain for the dialogue he refused to utter it.
