My experiences with Hammer Draculas were only from photos in FM Mags. They were cool as hell. But once I started seeing the films I didn't like them. I think it was because I grew up on the Universal films, B&W, etc. The Hammer films were so bombastic, titty and just too much of a shock for me I guess. Even as an adult my option hasn't changed. Great blood and guts tho if you're into that. As a kid I was totally into it, lol.
It looks like a beautiful set.
Two asides.
I will NEVER forget the staking of Carolyn Stoddard in HODS. The blood was such a shock. It may have been my first time seeing something like that. Especially in color.
I always thought Count Yorga looked goofy in photos. Was that a serious Dracula or a spoof?
