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.
