For generations of audiences, Hammer Films defined the legend of Count Dracula. As portrayed by Christopher Lee, the Count was brilliantly reborn as a seductive icon of forbidden desire and everlasting evil. Later, the studio would broaden their bloody palette of the undead to further redefine the entire vampire genre. Today, these movies remain among the most visually stunning and thematically provocative vampire films in all of cinematic history. Films included: The Brides of Dracula (1960) / Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter (1972) / Dracula (1958) / Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) / Kiss of the Vampire (1962) / The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974) / Scars of Dracula (1970) / Vampire Circus (1972).
