Old House basement door
« on: September 03, 2018, 07:55:51 PM »
Fans, I was playing this video of the credits for Horror of Dracula (1958), one of my favorite films, today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ0KW6IqjxI

I somehow never noticed that it looks as if the cellar door in the Old House, the door to the stairs that lead down to where Barnabas's coffin is kept, seems to have been copied from the crypt door seen towards the end of this little sequence. Plus, the music is AWESOME.

cheers, G.

Yes, that is just like the cellar door in the Old House.  [ghost_wink]

I love Horror of Dracula. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it in years, which is probably why I don't remember why that blood is dripping on Dracula's coffin

I saw it several months ago, MB, and the dripping blood was just for Hammer macabre dramatic effect.
