He was the best Dracula for blood and evil on screen
His legacy with Peter Cushing is a horror fan's dream.
I am also glad he made the appearances into Star Wars, as he was really into our MonsterKid psyche .
Thanks Christopher for all the monster memories!!
Thanks for reminding me about the fan club, I was a member in the seventies and I still have the newsletters. Such great memories. Tonight will be Christopher Lee night in the Jackson house and my wife and I will raise a glass of wine to him as we watch one of his films (red wine, of course)

I love that guy.
So awesome in everything, no matter how cheap and crappy it was. His memory will live on.

Re: CHRISTOPHER LEE R.I.P
A great bit of Lee trivia is that he was the only relative of James Bond's creator to portray a Bond villain.scubasteve wrote: I never realized he was Scaramanga until just now.
Lee and Fleming were cousins.
As someone who makes a living from his voice I always admired the quality of Lee's.
Very distinctive with great power and delivery.
Instantly recognizable.

Re: CHRISTOPHER LEE R.I.P
So sad to hear of his passing.
And so wonderful to see the glowing tributes you have all posted here.
There's nothing I can add, and I can only repost the BBC link already shared by someone sharper than I - http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-33098353.
What a legacy of amazing work the man leaves us.
Mate - you ruled - and always will!

Rest well good sir.

Re: CHRISTOPHER LEE R.I.P
He was even great in his non-makeup roles like in The House That Dripped Blood. Happy he had a long life.
Stewart, your ability to paint model figures always astounds me. Everything I see you paint looks like a still from a movie. Thanks for sharing.

Re: CHRISTOPHER LEE R.I.P
Thanks so much Tom!
Just wanted everyone to know TCM is doing a Christopher Lee fest on Mon. June 22nd. They also did this classy remembers vid. They rock in my book!

There's a line from El Conde Dracula, as Dracula relays his past to Jonathon Harker that seems to suit: "The shadows of my past remain here". Yes, Christopher and I am ever so grateful for those shadow plays.

He will be greatly missed, that's for sure. Should a periodic "coffin check" be done?
