HORROR OF DRACULA (1958)

[Update 09/20/2021: Need to redo this review completely.]

HORROR OF DRACULA opens with Dracula winning a break dancing contest at a nudist colony...what?! Oh, sorry wrong film. A guy, posing as a librarian, comes to work for Dracula cataloging his books, but in reality, the dude is a vampire hunter! He fails completely and by the time Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) shows up, Dracula is long gone and actually off stalking the fake librarian's fiancee. Van Helsing begins looking for clues that will lead him to Dracula.

Some modern audiences with short attention spans might find the story slow, but I was entertained throughout and found Christopher Lee to be probably the most awesome vampire I've ever seen...besides Angel and Edward and Spike and Jerry Dandrige, of course. Overall, it was a solid vampire film.
