I love the old Hammer Productions !!! 🤘😈🤘
Those Hammer Production movies were great, whenever they're on, I still watch 'em !👍
Nowadays a vampire wouldnt be affected by a crucifix... this is how far hollywood has fallen.
That's not entirely true. And the old vampire unaffected by a crucifix twist was played out in The Fearless Vampire Killers in 1967, and a faithless priest in Hammer's own Dracula Has Risen From the Grave in '68 also plays with the stereotypes of religious figures being a threat to Dracula. Hollywood still uses the tropes when it suits them.
@job1866 WOW! I am so envious! Why dont you share your treasure(s) with the rest of Hammer fans with a video showcasing your collection. I was so glad to hear that Hammer Studios is back in production. I just hope they can create the moody gothic feel for their new horror films. I hope they stick to period pieces. not modern day.
hey are you the same chaneyjr on ebay? Anyway, I'd need your email to send a pict of the Peel.
These came out way before my time but I grew up with the hammer films, thanks to my grandma and I'd take these films over any of the crap horrors they release today. Cushing and Lee set the standard for horrors all those years ago and that standard has never been reached since.
Films today need to show blood and gore to make them work but all you needed to hear was the infamous music of a Hammer Horror Movie and you'd be cowering behind the cushions before the movie even started!
The 1958 Hammer film Dracula, or Horror of Dracula as my copy is titled, is still one of the most finest adaptations of Bram Stoker's novel. Terence Fisher's powerful direction combined with great performances of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, the best Van Helsing and Dracula ever, creates a great horror classic. This trailer trully does justice for this film.
Let's not forget the awesome music in the background!!!
This version has and will always be my favourite Dracula :)
I have the UK Blu Ray Dracula and the Anolis Dracula Blu ray and both plays perfectly on my 220 Electronics Region Free Blu Ray Player
In spite of it being a very low budget movie it will always stand supreme the music the decor exelent
Peter cushing was so measured and believable. He pulled you into the plot in such an easy and interesting way. Genius.
I LOVE HAMMER AND GREW UP WITH IT! never met Cushing but my friend Tom Johnson was his biographer. I did meet Chris Lee, hung out with Ingrid Pitt and James Bernard and have upteen signed pics, signed by Cushing and Lee together & a really cool Dracula Prince of Darkness still signed by the entire cast. Alot of Oliver Reed and Michael Ripper signed picts, also have Peter Cushing's shoes from Capt Clegg. I got autographs of Hammer people that would blow you away. David Peel, Prudence Hyman
This hammer movies are really interesting. They created another kind of atmosphere that is really special. And they had Peter Cushing, a great actor who can make absolutely real the role that he play.
Christopher Lee is the best Dracula ever played and very interesting Dracula portraits are by Frank Langella and Gary Oldman.
R.I.P. Christopher Lee And Peter Cushing.

Great job of restoration! These classical horror movies are the best for me! Hammer rules!
And nothing says "restoration" like a clip at 360p.
@@RodolfLeclerc ABSOLUTELY...what a farce !!
Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi.
Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
Excellant trailer for the newly restored Dracula. I went to see it in november at the bfi. It was a brilliant experience to see a Hammer Horror on the big screen
Una Gran Dupla del Cine, LEE y CUSHING. !!! Que Vuelvan Restaurados.
Some of the legendary missing footage for this film was recently discovered in Japan. This includes an extended death scene for Dracula. This will be included in a theatrical showing on Saturday, 18th February at 3pm at the Flicker Club as part of the VAULT festival in London. A blu-ray release of this and many other Hammer films has aslo been announced. Good news for Hammer fans everywhere!
Whoa, I'd love to see this. Maybe someday they'll do DVD. Christopher Lee is the ultimate Dracula.
The best scene in the film is when Cushing's Van Helsing runs across the table top, jumps and pulls down the drapes hitting Dracula with the dreaded sunlight! Great ending!
Bom, mim lembro quando eu era adolescente na televisão antiga. 😂

Cool! I've never seen the Christopher Lee movie before, but it looks interesting. I think I'll go rent it sometime.
My good friend George Woodbridge, always learning his lines on the train, head down and deep in the plot; surfacing around Staines having completed his part. Thank you for posting this.
When you realized Count Doku and Saruman is here,
Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing as Dracula, and Boris Karloff as the Frankenstein Monster! In that order!😮😮😮
PS: THIS FILM HAS BEEN AVAILABLE ON DVD/BLU-RAY FOR A LONG TIME VIA EITHER EBAY OR AMAZON.COM. WATCH & ENJOY. THESE ARE CLASSIC HAMMER STUDIOS FILM PRODUCTIONS & WE WON'T SEE THERE LIKE AGAIN. (RIP) SIR CHRISTOPHER LEE & THE LATE PETER CUSHING.
I loved this duo as a kid, just my mam and me looking, the rest of the family hated horrormovies.
I always went to Hammer films, buttered popcorn and a coke!

i may be older than you. Having watched these movies when i was in elementary. I am 64. But the first movie after the silent movie called “ Nosferatu “ was Dracula in 1931 with Bela Lugosi who is my fav. But Christopher Lee is right there with Bela. Tis the season of the Witch! Happy Halloween 🎃👻👿👺😈👹💀

Tall, dark, and handsome handsome with a dangerous, yet alluring aura that could draw you in...
@Lieslize Its a wonderful classic horror movie. You will be rivited from start to finish; and its exciting and scary; and one heck of a soundtrack. One of my alltime fave movies.
That footage was cut before it hit the cinemas in the UK, the censor just wouldn't pass it. I'm told by my BFI contacts that an extensive search has been laid on for possible extra footage, but so far dispite work with Warners in Japan, the Japanese print hasn't surfaced either.
Yup, that has now been confirmed. The 2007 BFI restoration, and a new 2012 cut, which adds in the surviving censored "Japanese" footage. What I've seen so far looks great.
@LOKISlog7 When I saw this movie for the firt time ages ago, I saw people leaving the theatre when they heard the music at the beginning!!! For my part, this is my fav film and my fav music soundtrack. I saw the film about 30 times and never tired of it!!!
@LOKISlog7 I think they are working on a new movie called "The Woman in Black" starring Daniel Radcliff
This was last night❤
I have got a double feature movie DVD
of Christopher Lee
and Peter Cushing in
Dracula
I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters and I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxx
In some countries, its 1966 sequel was called ''The Bloody Scream of Dracula''.
And, best of all, ''Dracula A.D. 1972'' had its title changed to ''Dracula no Mundo da Minissaia'', in Portugese, ''Dracula in the World of Miniskirt''
Yeah! I have my fingers crossed for LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT (1928) Not only do I want it to surface, but expect it BLU-RAY FORMAT!!!
Excellent movie I have the UK Blu Ray and the Anolis Blu Ray and both play perfectly on my 220 Electronics Region Free Blu Ray Player
Hammers Dracula, is the Best ever made, in my opinion. The great Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee & a cast of believable, character actors, set the story alight,with the wonderful fast paced direction of the great Terence Fisher. This film is set in the right. gothic period, with wonderful sets and costumes. Ace Cinematographer Jack Asher's wonderful brilliant lighting and camera placement beats any CGI photography effects of today. All his black & white and Colour films are truly painted with light. This Film & all the Classic Hammer films of the Late 50's & early 60's deserve to be on 4K to show how splendid, theses gothic films really are.
Nancy Pelosi is like Bella Lugosi, either way, you get your blood sucked, lol
why would u upload a trailer of a restored movie in such garbage quality lol
Count Dooku versus Grand Moff Tarkin
I don't think you said anything. Just an idiot spamming up the comments. Comment deleted, user now blocked.
Van Helsing was such a party pooper
Will we ever be able to have a DVD copy
of this classic with only the title
DRACULA and not the horrid HORROR OF DRACULA
(USA) Wonderful trailer
Fangs a lot(sic)
The Horrid Horror of Dracula seems a very horrible title!!
La edad de oro del cine de Terror.
I'd like to see this one someday.
Just saw Dracula's Daughter on METV and now I'm on a Dracula kick! Gonna hunt this down.
Interesting to hear this. Woodbridge did a great job in "Frankenstein Created the Woman". He had a certain physical resemblance with late Brazilian politician Jânio Quadros.
My Grandma told me about the time she went to see this at the cinema. She was underage so she snuck in with her friends round the back and she got so scared that she couldn't sleep so her dad slapped her. lol
¿¿¿Has coopola ever seen this film???
He must have but it doesn't seem to me that he took away much. His Dracula just doesn't approach the quality filmmaking of this Hammer classic. Neither movie is really faithful to the book but Hammer's departures work and Coppola's don't.
I love the hammer movies with Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing & great job on the restoration of this & thanks 👍
Why do they have to Darken it to restore it?
The colour grade on this restoration was hotly debated at the time of release. One would need to compare it to the old VHS versions to see how much of a difference there is. Any darkening is an aesthetic choice - sometimes supported by surviving negatives/prints, or other notes.
What is with the blue grading tone?
Debated widely at the time of release. I saw the restoration in cinemas in both 35mm and digital at the time, and the 35mm wasn't as blue-toned for some reason. Supposedly there was evidence that a blue-tone was sought by the original makers, but there's times its definitely a bit OTT for me.
@KnockoffNigeI I think a lot of it is down to really good lighting. I doubt there's much if any smoke in the scenes... but with the sets painted the right way and lit just so you get a great sense of depth, layering and atmosphere.
No, he wasn't. Thorley Walters is the guy I was talking about. Pardon me. Wodbridge was in ''Dracula Prince of Darkness'', ''The Mummy,'' ''The Curse of the Werewolf,'' ''Horror of Dracula'' and ''Revenge of Frankenstein''.
check the site imdb and see the page release date of this movie. The site doe not say the country but I have a hunch it was in India.
I wonder when they say Uncut at the end if it includes the original mushy crumbling scene of Christopher Lee's disintegrating face which was used in many stills at the time instead of the cut to a skull and skeleton fingers etc? Hope to see a BFI DVD as they have made several excellent DVD's of all kinds of movies including a version of the original Nosferatu with a new score by the late James Bernard ( he of Hammer Films fame ) which is well worth checking out. This is Region 2.
I liked Walters a lot - he also was great in a non-Hammer no nonsense part as a clever cynic in "Murder She Said". =)
As for the best Frankenstein assistant, though, I'd vote for Francis Matthews. ;)
I have a man crush on Peter Cushing.
Call it what you want...still sounds gay... :)
@@brianmcmillan7426 Cushing has been dead for some years now mate
the original vamp movie.. i gotta see this. anyway, what does bfi stand for? british film institution?
@kriitikko They had to use the title 'Horror of Dracula' in America in 1958 due to Univesals copy right on the one word title 'Dracula' was still in effect from the 1931 Bela Luogosi film. At Iest I remember reading that years ago?
Wrong. It is not "completely restored." 2 powerful reaction shots from Christopher Lee and one cutaway of a disintegrating limb to bridge the cuts have not been reintegrated.
You can see them - - but only on the Extra raw footage of source Japanese
reels. So as 'the nearest we are likely to get as the definitive
version,' it's a botch job. Those missing frames are at least as
startling and dramatic as any footage they DID reinsert in the
disintegration scene. I informed BFI, and they couldn't care less.
To be fair, this video was originally posted 15 years ago following the BFI's restoration, and before the Japanese reels had been recovered.
Whether they should be included in a UK restoration or kept as separate is open for debate - they were never screened in UK or US cinemas on the initial release, so I'd argue being kept within the context of the Japanese reels is more appropriate and historically accurate.
UK - to include the previously missing Japanese footage. Should be a good package.
Would be worth investing in a multi-region player. Not sure if/when or what form any US package would take - rights in the US are with Warner Bros. In the UK is Hammer.
I heard that there will be 2 versions on the upcoming BluRay - this and the other print with the new scenes.
@avalard I'm a little hesitent on watching it too. But if its tame comparded to todays stuff it sounds good. As I don't not like gore that is piled on thick.
You have me at a loss. Woodbridge wasn't in "Frankenstein Created Woman", was he?
Hi Marcio. Absolutely could NOT post the full movie, as it is protected by copyright. The film is available on DVD and Blu-Ray in many countries, and the UK edition includes my essay on DRACULA (see description above).
Well restoration is ongoing. To the best of my knowledge they're using the BFI restoration from 2007 as the basis (so including the original UK title plate, and all the gore from both US and UK versions) and if possible including the additional material from the Japanese print.
Is there any way you could send me a scan of the David Peel? I purchased one recently and by all accounts and other examples, I don't think it's authentic. Another example would sure help...
Thanks!
@Lieslize yes, its a horror movie, but very tame by today's standards. You'd be fine ;)
@dlfdecker Was a PAL to PAL conversion... the source video I was given was quite high.
Bernard Robinson could make a dog house look like an enormous expensive castle!!!
I'm curious as to what's been "restored," and I find it funny that this credits only Christopher Lee, considering he's only credited as an "and" in the actual movie (at least in the prints I've seen).
Don't think I've replied to your comment before now. Sorry! The whole film was restored by the BFI c. 2007 - picture painstakingly scanned, cleaned and colour timed. The original UK title card was also used (previous home video releases in the UK had used the US 'Horror of Dracula' title card). Then for the Lionsgate BluRay release in the UK circa 2012, they recovered the longer Japanese edit, and restored several seconds of cut material into the film as well.
restoration lord I know I running
At the moment, plan is to release it first half of 2013 on Blu-ray/DVD combo.
Hopefully eventually, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
They don't make em like they used to. A great mix of horror, camp and gothic style.
No indeed.
Most 'horror' movies these days contain 70% porn and 30% gallons of blood, torture and guts.
@@Sapphiresenthiss and most important factor of all that's missing: Actual Awesome Actors who exude dignity, strength and, if need be, menace.
@@nickmitsialis You said it! 👍
@@Sapphiresenthiss Thanks! Sadly we probably won't be seeing the likes of men like Cushing and Lee in this lifetime.
@@nickmitsialis I don't think we'll be seeing men like them ever, to be honest.
The times are over.
is this version available in us?love to see it again
best in Coloured Dracula ever, but also must give also, 1931year Dracula, bela lugosi best Role, but this is best Coloured ever!
Each actor was right for his film, each film was right for it's time.
Sadly Lugosi was ridiculously theatrical in the role, no one told him how to restrain his stage performance for in front of the camera, so his leering and posing just seem hammy and hilarious today. A shame as in later films he showed that could act well.
Very Goood!
Wonderful, many thanks
Lucky you!
Bloody scream of Dracula? Did not know that.
It was titled " Hemorrhoids Of Dracula " in Lithuania
Looks good and Solid but for me I'm a purist when it comes to the novel and despite this being an absolute classic it diverges quite a bit from the novel
