When I watched Count Dracula as a kid on TV, I was thrown off by the mustache. I assumed Chris Lee was too stubborn to shave it off for the movie. (Like when Cesar Romero played the Joker.) But this film attempted to be closer to the Bram Stoker novel in which he does have a white mustache.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

🤣🤣 I can imagine Gary! I'd seen stills from the film and always been confused as to what the look was all about 😵‍💫😵‍💫🤔🤔😁😁 i remember The Joker's tash in the 60s series 🤣🤣👍👍 I suppose Christopher Lee was trying to be as close to the source as possible 👍👍 it kind of works but I do think if this film had of been more graffic then it would have played better 🤔🤩🤩👍👍

Hi John, great review. 88 films are definitely pushing up their prices on 4k. I'll definitely get this on blu ray. If you can find Jack The Ripper (1976) is another good one Franco directed. All the best 👍

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Hi Gary, cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah they are sadly 🥴 the blu ray looks amazing it has to be said Gary 🤩🤩 I haven't seen Franco's Jack the Ripper yet, so I'll keep an eye out for it Gary 😁😁👍👍

[@joshfulcifan1015]

John you scored big with that Fulci vinyl set. I have no vinyls myself, but would not say no if I came across one - especially one as cool as that👍

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

I know Josh!! Its a set that does complete justice to the amazing soundtracks in it!! It just shows you that there are some AMAZING horror related vinyl out there 🤔😁👌 cheers for watching Josh 🤩🤩👍👍

[@Ramsdend2001]

That is one hell of a vinyl set. Can’t believe I missed that one. Bet they’re silly money now

I love collecting dracula movies especially the Christopher Lee ones, I recently won a Dracula bluray on Ebay the 1970s Jack Pallance one, his acting isn't the best but some of the scenery shots are great I just love the old hammer horror movies Countess dracula is a really good one, thanks for the review mate I will check it out 😉👍

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Yeah can't beat Christopher Lee as Dracula in any shape or form 🤩🤩👌👌 I remember that Jack Palance Dracula film 😁👍 Countess Dracula is another classic!! Cheers for watching mate, I would try for it in a sale if you can 🤔🤩👍

[@hallgos7319]

I saw that Dan Curtis version of Dracula with Palance a while back on Talking Pictures TV and enjoyed the film more than I was expecting. A nice bloodsucking surprise for my money.😉👍

[@hallgos7319]

Freddie Starr vamped it up with a typically zany take on Dracula in '85's The Freddie Starr Comedy Express and Sammo Hung disguised himself as a portly prince of darkness in Kung Fu classic, The Victim. Jimmy Nail also made a small reference to Dracula in the seminal second series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. "I told you never to wake me in daylight, slave!"😁

Good to hear it's a decent 4k release matey but yes like you say I'm sure this'll drop in price over time.. probably one I'll grab at some point but more likely on blu ray I think 😎👍

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

It's a beautiful looking 4k Marcus!! One of the best I've seen mate 😁😁👍👍 yeah the Blu Ray looks great as well and it's definitely going to drop in price I reckon soon Marcus 🤔🤩 cheers for watching mate 😁😁👍👍

No problems Andy 🤩🤩👍👍 it's definitely different to other stuff from that time mate, maybe if it came out before the Hammer Dracula movies and not in the middle of them it would have got a better fan base possibly? 🤔😁😁👍👍

Hi John Great review of count Dracula. Not for me but some people might like it. That vinyl of the gates of hell trilogy is amazing art work and inside pictures what a brilliant vinyl Should sound amazing on vinyl. I love all that Italian music of this period Fabio frizzi had a great love of prog rock, with I absolutely love, most of the Italian music of this period had the synth and prog rock influences. All the best John

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Cheers Paul 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah I can see why this one isn't for everyone mate 🤔😵‍💫🤣 definitely quite an aquired taste about it 👍 the vinyl sounds incredible Paul!! I find I spot loads more nuances in the music when I'm focusing on the record 🤔🤩👍 yeah I can see lots of Pink Floyd similarities when I'm listening to 1970s Italian soundtracks 🤩🤩👍👍 cheers again Paul 😁😁👍👍

Beautiful set that trilogy box isn't it John? I do indeed have it, I showed you it on one of the very early Nasty livestreams we did. You were mesmerized by the colours. I'm so glad you got one mate, do you have all 3 Vault Of Horror records now? I've got the Count Dracula 4K but I've not watched it yet, I've never seen it before either - I'm kinda expecting it to be more like the Warhol Dracula than Hammer so fingers crossed I like it. Thanks a million for the shout out mate, really appreciate it 🙂

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Ahh yes, remember that now Nige 🤔😁😁👍👍 it's the first ever "swirly" vinyl I've got! Love it mate 🤩🤩👌👌 yeah got all 3 now! Stunning editions all round 😁😁👍👍 it's very different to Hammer or even Warhol so go in with an open mind on it Nige, got to say the 4k is one of the best looking from 88 😁😁👏👏 no problems, let me know what you think of it Nige 🤩🤩👍👍

[@rockgod2004]

@@MondoChelloveckMovies I certainly will mate, I've wanted to see it for ages now. Oh fantastic, I'm so glad you got all of the Vault Of Horror records, they're absolutely fantastic. Even though the first 2 compilation one's are standard black vinyl, they're absolutely amazing quality, not just the heavyweight vinyl but the packaging and those really handy bonus CD's. Absolutely beautiful sets all of them mate. I'm over the moon you got them because I know what a huge fan of the Italian films AND the soundtracks from them you are. Excellent stuff bud 🙂

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

Yeah I was surprised to see them on black vinyl only because the other one was multi coloured 😁 but black is good, actually I got a white vinyl the other day, and white is meant to be a really noisy, but it was really quiet 🤔😁 the cd addition was a nice touch 👍 thanks Nige, yeah so pleased to get them mate, some of the best soundtracks out there!! 🤩🤩👍👍

[@rockgod2004]

@@MondoChelloveckMovies Coloured vinyl has improved so much to when we used to collect back in the 80s John, most coloured vinyl nowadays sounds fantastic. I was actually hoping they'd do another volume to be honest, they're fantastic mate

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

@rockgod2004 do you think they will do some more Nige? 🤞🤞👍👍 yeah back in day coloured vinyl was really poor in comparison to the black vinyl 😵‍💫🤩👍

[@mattymac1399]

£30 is a garbage price. Picked up that Severin 4K of Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker for £19.99. Should be the standard price, very reasonable.

[@Truegho]

Just did a review of this myself, Jon, and . . . well, ahem, let's just say my strong preference for Lee's Hammer Dracula films continues to remain unchallenged by any other Drac flick he did outside Hammer, not least this mediocre Franco effort (lol)!

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

I watched the start of your review Alan 🤩🤩 I'll go back to it after watching the movie again now 👍👍 I can understand why anyone would not care for this one mate! Yeah Hammer set the bar far too high didn't they Alan 🥴🥴 cheers for watching....we are just waiting for Furiosa to start at the pictures 🤩🤩👍👍

[@Truegho]

Hi John. Thanks for your reply. Yeah, Hammer are definitely the best when it comes to making great Dracula films. Regarding this Franco version, it did have its moments, particularly the first part, where the Count entertains - or should that be "terrifies" (lol) - Harker at his castle. Very reminiscent of the opening chapters in Stoker's novel, where the Count initially appears as an old man before gradually becoming younger and younger, the more blood he gorges on. Lee certainly did a great job here. However, as you rightly said, the second part of the movie seemed to just lose its way. I am keeping it in my collection, though, as it IS, of course, another Lee Dracula movie, albeit not a Hammer one, and it is indeed a beautiful package from 88 Films, plus I love all those juicy extras (three great commentaries too). Hope you enjoy Furiosa. Have a nice Bank Holiday, John. Take care, mate.

[@MondoChelloveckMovies]

@Truegho Hi Alan, yeah pretty much agreed with your video mate!! Its a shame that he made it at the same time as the hammer stuff, it could never compare! And also I think nothing has compared to the Hammer stuff since!! They definitely can't make an Origin Dracula movie now Alan 😬😬 they all need to have a twist and they should go back to Gothic as that was the best treatment mate!! 🤩🤩👍👍 really enjoyed Furiosa Alan, great entry into the Mad Max saga 😁😁👍👍 yeah have a good Bank Holiday as well mate 🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌

[@Truegho]

Cheers John.
