🦇 30 days until Halloween... *Movie marquee and theatre display for Horror of Dracula (originally released as Dracula in the UK). Hammer Film Productions, 1958. 🎞

Horror of Dracula (1958)—originally released simply as Dracula in the United Kingdom—is a landmark British Gothic horror film directed by Terence Fisher. Produced by the legendary Hammer Film Productions, it is celebrated as the first vampire film ever shot in color (Technicolor/Eastmancolor). The movie catapulted Christopher Lee (as Count Dracula) and Peter Cushing (as Dr. Van Helsing) into global horror icons, redefining the vampire mythos with an unprecedented blend of vibrant color, visceral gore, and underlying sensuality.

Am really having a ripping good time watching The Hammer House of #Horror series. It's the perfect lead-in to the beginnings of Spooky Season movies (& reading), all types of scary stories. From cannibalistic society snobs to little boys coming back from the grave, it's alllll Spook-Tacular 👻👀👻👹😉

An ad for the series Hammer House of Horror, featuring a frightened woman holding a witch doll in her hand. "A British anthology series featuring horrifying tales of haunted houses, terrifying demons, creepy ghosts and other supernatural scares." Starring Peter Cushing, Jon Finch, Julia Foster.
