Awsome!!! I am watching all the Hammer Dracula movies at the moment. After that i will watch Dracula (1931) and after that I will listen to this. I cant wait!!!
Thats great. I wanted the album that all of this appeared on but it was only available by mail order and I didn't get it until decades later when I went to a movie convention.
@FK42 It's a 1966 Ballantine graphic novel by Russ Jones and Alden McWilliams. The script is credited to Otto Binder and Craig Tennis, but is copyrighted 1966 Russ Jones Productions. McWilliams is the illustrator. The script that Christopher Lee is reading from is obviously similar, but a few key lines are different.
Fascinating. Thanks for the info. (FYI, Russ Jones co-founded Warren Magazines [CREEPY, EERIE] in the 1960s, wrote novels under the pseudonym Jack Younger, and also wrote a segment of the 1971 movie Waxworks. His paintings were featured in the 2004 film The Salton Sea. Quite a prolific guy!)
@Vortigern99 A Ballantine graphic novel? interesting I've never heard of Alden McWilliams but his artwork reminds me of some of the art from Warren horror comic magazines like Creepy & Errie of the 1960s, Thanks for sharing this with us, I'll have to check and see if this graphic novel is listed in Overstreet and the Comics Data Base.
Lee is reading from a script that is adapted and modified from the novel, but which is not precisely the script of the comic book as depicted in the video. Yet they share certain similarities that are not derived from Stoker's book. What's the origin of this adaptation? From what version is Lee reading?
@801liveable i think lugosi and lee were both great in those roles ( and other roles ), but it can be tough to compare the two, because i don't recall lugosi ever doing those roles in color. i guess they can colorize the old lugosi movies, but colorizing generally doesn't make things look good.
@801liveable some of us ( including myself ) tend to see lugosi as more authentic because he was hungarian, & dracula as presented in the bram stoker novel was hungarian. hey, maybe christopher lee should have changed his name to kristof lugosi. lol. ironically, the dracula character in real history was romanian, not hungarian. romanians and hungarians are geographically near each other, but their languages are completely different. i like "horror of dracula" more than "dracula" with lugosi.
Yes, it seems that every known superstition in the world is known and practiced in this region, as if it is some sort of vast imaginative whirpool. Note: I musts ask the count all about these superstitions. (they left that part out).
Awsome!!!

The music is a bit distracting...would have like it to be more soft and in the background.

@CovePointProductions
"and whinnied their displeasure at an unscheduled stop"
Where can I find the script? Please help me!
Crazy, but this reminds me of the game Max Payne
Finding the music way too loud, won't be listening to the rest. Hugely disappointed.
+LegionAvalon I quite like the drama of it, but I can see how it wud be offputting
