It was initially screened as a 155-minute movie but was later divided into a mini-series for repeat broadcast. The movie is available on Prime Video.
6. Horror of Dracula (1958) – 7.3
On one hand, Hammer deserves props for making one of the most authentic vampire movies and on the other hand, props to Christopher Lee for delivering one of the most iconic performances seen in the history of cinema. In the U.S., the title was changed to Horror of Dracula in order to differentiate it from the original Bela Lugosi movie. One important aspect of the movie is that it treated its second characters well too, particularly Van Helsing, paid by Peter Cushing. The movie is available on HBO Max.
