- Christopher Lee’sDracula
The one , the only . While so many version of Dracula haveturned the nefarious brute of the nighttime into a tragical figure , a doomedlover , an anti - hero , and whatever , the Hammer Dracula films go the other wayand bend Dracula into a hellish killer stress to unleash hell on Earth . Sure , he dresses as well as Bela Lugosi ’s Dracula , but he ’s not roll throughtown , holding dinner party party , attending the opera , attempt to pretend he’snormal . Instead , all he cares about is drinking blood and killing those whohave crossed him . In Hammer ’s Draculamovies , Lee choke up a woman ’s clay inside a church bell , jactitate a sack with a child in it to his hungrythralls , and , once he popped back up in the ’ 70s , fund research to create anew , more terrible version of the Bubonic pestilence .
