Invite DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS into Your Home for Christmas
There are certain cinematic horror villains who have become nearly inseparable from the actors who portrayed them. Robert Englund is Freddy Krueger; Brad Dourif is Chucky; Kane Hodder is Victor Crowley. While several actors have given amazing turns as Bram Stoker’s OG vampire Dracula, arguably no one did it better than Christopher Lee in several films produced during Hammer Horror’s heyday.
Fans of the undead bloodsucker formerly known as Vlad the Impaler will want to invite Lee’s distinguished Count into their homes when Scream Factory releases Dracula Prince of Darkness on Blu-ray/DVD reissue on December 18th. Here’s the scoop from today’s press release (including a pre-order link) followed by the reissue’s special features, along with the synopsis and trailer at the bottom of the article.
“Christopher Lee’s second outing as the eponymous Dracula pushes the cinematic boundaries of graphic gore and terror in this 1966 Hammer Films classic.
