      Jb 318 in some aspect he’s right but yea I agreee with you whole heartedly. My grandma who lived all through the 20s and is still alive now. She always told me growing up in the 90s that the world was going to shit and people were becoming more and more evil all the way back in 70s. Each decade people say that, but yea now I can say this is something that is higher then ever before. Even in the years I’ve lived from the 90s too the early 2000s and now. Every five years things change. People have less integrity now then ever before. Less people have values and morals

      These men were the end of an era. With the passing of Sir Christopher, it has become painfully obvious that there will never again be three actors (let alone one) who will emit the level of class that these 3 men did. I'm not okay with that. It makes me sad. But, this alarming realization does make Vincent, Peter and Chris all the more special.
      For over two years this era has been over. I feel the void more and more each day. I'm glad I have access to their interviews and films. It creates a warnesss in my heart that not much else can.
      I'm only 36, but I grew up on these films. Pre-internet...I had accumulated all of their films on VHS by the mid nineties (paying upwards to 200.00 for one out of print video tape). I was a teenage detective hunting down these films without the use of any internet. Lots of reading, researching and long distance calls were involved (and pissed off parents I might add). I have since owned all of their films on DVD...and now bluray. I will continue to purchase them in whatever form they come out on.
      God bless these men and their families.

Arriving at a farmer's house to ask to use the telephone, the poor Swiss farmer opened the front door and took fright on seeing 'Dracula' crying out "È lui!" (It's him!) and promptly fainting!

      @memorialled_zeppelin-warew1346 3 года назад +12

      On a whole... As much as I like Christopher Lee and I do.
      I'd rather sit with Peter Cushing , Vincent Price and depending on how he was behaving at the time Oliver Reed.
      Peter Cushing was indeed a gentleman. Quiet soft spoken and a man who loved his fans. Vincent Price who in reality wasn't anywhere near as scary as he behaves in movies. He had a wonderful nature and sence of humour. And made no bones about his deep care for fans. For a horror movie actor who didn't scare young fans who adored him.
      Oliver Reed I see as an amazing talent .
      But he was far too unpredictable. When he was drunk (unfortunately more often than not) no person was safe from his practical jokes and sadly often bad temper. He was ok when he was sober. Like he was here.
      Christopher Lee still scares the hell out of me.

      This may be a bit off subject but as a boy every day of my life my mind would not miss a single day of thinking about Christopher and Peter Cushing as well as PP&M no connection of course but they were most important in my mind through out the years. The first time I ever saw Lee and Cushing was on a 4 minute 8mm film I would play on my little movie projecter. Later I saw Horror of Dracula in its full form on tv and I was hooked. I always wanted to meet them and talk but that was not to be. I did meet PP&M many times and befriended them. I wonder if Lee's brother is still around?
