Christopher Frank Carandini Mothafuckin' Lee WAS Dracula. He played the bloodsucking impaling-happy non-sparkling Wallachian Count in the most perfect Dracula movie ever made, Horror of Dracula, then reprised the role in seven sequels over the next 15 years – giving an entire generation of humanity nightmares for life, coating himself in a swimming pool's worth of fake movie blood, and somehow managing to constantly surround himself with ridiculous concentrations of hot babes with twin puncture wounds on the sides of their necks and borderline-pornographic amounts of blood-stained cleavage.
"Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when someone is stabbed in the back? Because I do."
— Christopher Lee when Peter Jackson attempted to direct him on how to act when stabbed in the back.
"Is there any movie fan out there who doesn't love Christopher Lee? Like, I can safely say that I've never met anyone who would say, 'Well, y'know, that movie was great, but Christopher Lee was terrible!' Lee has been in some terrible movies, certainly (…) but no one can deny that, whatever film the man is in, he is always a highlight with an incomparable screen presence."
