Monster of the Day #520

“Red is SO not my backlight color. It makes me look slain!”

I wonder if Hammer even considered luring Christopher Lee back for one last romp before offering his role to John Forbes-Robertson.
 
The thing is, Lee was an excellent swordsman (witness his fencing in the Lester Musketeer movies).  Unlike Cushing, who brought mucho gravitas to his role but was otherwise useless in the action scenes, Lee could have brought panache to the climax of LOTSGV.  Instead of becoming impaled immediately upon revealing his true form, the Dracula Lee could have drawn a sword and taken the last two remaining brothers head-on.
 
What a show that might have been.

I wish that Edward looked like that. I would have seen all the twilight movies.
