It's time to let the vampires out this Halloween and talk about Dracula in our video essay on Horror of Dracual explaining why it's the best dracula movie of all time!

Christopher Lee is Dracula and when he began his reign of terror as the iconic vampire back in 1958's Horror of Dracula, no one expected him to top Bella Lugosi's iconic portrayal and yet, over 60 years later and Dracula (1958) remains the best Dracula movie of all time and Christopher Lee might just be the best dracula of all time. Similar to Lugosi's Dracula,Christopher Lee Dracula kicked off Hammer Horror's stunning revamp of the iconic Universal Monsters spawning a number of sequels including, most notably, Dracula Prince of Darkness and Dracula has Risen from the Grave. However, few can match the power of Horror of Dracula. It also features what I consider to be a definitive portrayal of Doctor Van Helsing in Peter Cushing's bad ass and cunning foil to the count. Most importantly, this Dracula movie has such a grasp on atmosphere, production design, lush and vibrant colors, the BLOOD. Still to this day it all holds up incredibly well. Directed by Terrence Fisher, Dracula (1958) briefly follows Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen) as he is summoned to Castle Dracula only to go missing. In search of his missing friend, vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) is led to Count Dracula's (Christopher Lee) castle. Upon arriving, Van Helsing finds an undead Harker in Dracula's crypt and discovers that the count's next target is Harker's ailing fiancée, Lucy Holmwood (Carol Marsh). With the help of her brother, Arthur (Michael Gough), Van Helsing struggles to protect Lucy and put an end to Count Dracula's parasitic reign of terror. Griffin (@griffschiller) makes a case for why Horror of Dracula is the best Dracula movie or why it's the best dracula movie of all time in this Halloween video essay!
