I had a bit of a laugh watching Hammer horror films on Saturday night, preceded by an interview with Christopher Lee. Dracula, Prince of Darkness was hilarious. I can't believe how plastic fangs used to terrify me when I was younger. Christopher Lee was such a lovely-looking bloke. If I'm honest that's why I used to watch his films.
Afterwards I watched The Plague Of The Zombies. It had its moments, but overall it got on my nerves. Hammer were never much cop when it came to the costume department. The supposedly Victorian women had appalling sixties hairdos and makeup, and looked like they were wearing bri-nylon maxi skirts. I went to bed with the hump and listened to the firs disk of Handel's Semele again.
