Double Crown vintage movie poster for the 1966 British horror film
Dracula: Prince of Darkness. Produced by Hammer Film Productions and directed by Terence Fisher, it is the third entry in the studio's Dracula series and the second to star Christopher Lee as the titular vampire.
Key Information
Title: Dracula: Prince of Darkness
Release Date: January 9, 1966 (U.K.)
Director: Terence Fisher
Starring: Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley, Andrew Keir, Francis Matthews, and Suzan Farmer
Plot: Ten years after the events of the first film, four English tourists traveling through the Carpathian Mountains ignore local warnings and find themselves stranded at Castle Dracula, where a trusted servant of the Count uses their blood to resurrect his master.
Trivia: Christopher Lee famously has no lines in the film, a point of contention between him and the screenwriter; some sources claim he refused the dialogue while the writer claims none was written as "vampires don't chat".
The poster itself is considered a "holy grail" for Hammer Horror collectors. |
