She always told me growing up in the 90s that the world was going to shit and people were becoming more and more evil all the way back in 70s. Each decade people say that, but yea now I can say this is something that is higher then ever before. Even in the years I’ve lived from the 90s too the early 2000s and now. Every five years things change. People have less integrity now then ever before. Less people have values and morals

      These men were the end of an era. With the passing of Sir Christopher, it has become painfully obvious that there will never again be three actors (let alone one) who will emit the level of class that these 3 men did. I'm not okay with that. It makes me sad. But, this alarming realization does make Vincent, Peter and Chris all the more special.
      For over two years this era has been over. I feel the void more and more each day. I'm glad I have access to their interviews and films. It creates a warnesss in my heart that not much else can.
      I'm only 36, but I grew up on these films. Pre-internet...I had accumulated all of their films on VHS by the mid nineties (paying upwards to 200.00 for one out of print video tape). I was a teenage detective hunting down these films without the use of any internet. Lots of reading, researching and long distance calls were involved (and pissed off parents I might add). I have since owned all of their films on DVD...and now bluray. I will continue to purchase them in whatever form they come out on.
      God bless these men and their families.

Arriving at a farmer's house to ask to use the telephone, the poor Swiss farmer opened the front door and took fright on seeing 'Dracula' crying out "È lui!" (It's him!) and promptly fainting!

      On a whole... As much as I like Christopher Lee and I do.
      I'd rather sit with Peter Cushing , Vincent Price and depending on how he was behaving at the time Oliver Reed.
      Peter Cushing was indeed a gentleman. Quiet soft spoken and a man who loved his fans. Vincent Price who in reality wasn't anywhere near as scary as he behaves in movies. He had a wonderful nature and sence of humour. And made no bones about his deep care for fans. For a horror movie actor who didn't scare young fans who adored him.
      Oliver Reed I see as an amazing talent .
      But he was far too unpredictable. When he was drunk (unfortunately more often than not) no person was safe from his practical jokes and sadly often bad temper. He was ok when he was sober. Like he was here.
      Christopher Lee still scares the hell out of me.

    Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were two true gentlemen. There were many big stars who were there in person or offered congratulations through film clips, yet Christopher and Peter were the closest of friends throughout their lives. Aside from his immediate family, I feel Peter's attendance meant the most to Christopher. Its touching to see. Two great talents very much missed.

      The war helped shape him. Though officially he was listed as "support", he was in SOE, a secret unit. When a director said to him I want you to imagine somebody being stabbed in the back, Lee's answer was "I don't have to imagine!" He knew the true face of war.!
