LOL ok Austin if you promess not to tell I will tell you how as you put it Know all this shit. PSS I have been watching horror movies for 39 years. But its not like I am obsessed with horror movies I can quit anytime.

haaaaaaaaaa..... Obsession is the name of the game... I'm hooked. There's no denying it.

You don't have to watch 39 years of movies to know that, you study and it comes to you.

Also....Horror of Dracula is nothing like the orginal Dracula.....I wouldn't call it a remake (only because you want to do a movie based on a book that doesn't mean its a remake. Also buying the rights from the original doesn't make it a remake at all, it makes it an ADAPTION. Hammer wanted to homage all those older horror films by making their own adaptions of them.

Lets say I wanted to make my own Dracula film, I'd have to buy the rights first, but hell just because I use the title "Dracula" and base it on the same story, it does not make it a remake....A film like TCM which is based on a SCREENPLAY (hecne the word "screen") is a remake. A remake is looking at a film and saying "hey why don't we make that again, I think we could do a better job". An adpation is "hey this was a good book lets make a movie out of it....".

Universal was quick to sue anyone who made their Frankenstein monster look like theirs, so Hammer studios made theirs a little different with Curse of Frankenstein. They put Lee as the roll and they made him look more like a zombie.

Hi Classic I heard that once about Universal and they not wanting anyone to try and copy their Frankenstien appearence wise.
I think Christopher Lee was in Curse of Frankenstien 1957 Hammer. There was a rumor many fans were upset about how Lee looked and fans expecting to see a Boris Karloff style Frankenstien monster. If I could pick which characters from all the Frankenstien movies made I would like Karloff as the monster and Peter Cushing as Victor Frankenstien.

Not as much as when they call the killer in Friday the 13th, "Jason".
