A classic scene with the prince himself, Christopher Lee. This is the third of Hammer's Dracula films and the second to star Christopher Lee. He declined a part in Brides of Dracula, because he didn't want to be typecast. Lee cemented his position as Lugosi's heir to the part here, despite having no dialogue. The screenplay reportedly had Dracula uttering lines like, "I am the apocalypse!" which Lee refused to speak aloud on film and really, who can blame him?
