#Dracula began production on this day 61 years ago. Christopher Lee raised pulses whilst he drained veins in this iconic Hammer role. The film remains a horror canon classic.

A favourite of director Tim Burton, Dracula AD 1972 was first released in the UK on this day in 1972. The contemporary setting divided opinion at the time, though the 1970's London hipsters now have their own vintage feel. #HammerHistory #HammerHorrror #Dracula #DraculaAD1972
