It was 60 years ago this day that Hammer Studio's "Dracula" opened in the U.S. under the title, "Horror of Dracula".
Directed by the talented Terence Fisher and adapted by the innovative Jimmy Sangster, the film gave us the first appearances of Christopher Lee as the bloodthirsty Count and Peter Cushing as the resourceful Dr. Van Helsing.
"Horror of Dracula" is considered one of the most respected versions of Bram Stoker's classic novel, as well as one of the most influential horror films ever made. If you haven't seen it, treat yourself immediately; if you haven't watched it in a spell, you're shamefully overdue.
