Christopher Lee’s portrayal of Dracula in Hammer Horror films became iconic for several reasons. Lee’s version of the character, debuting in Dracula (1958), broke away from the aristocratic elegance of earlier portrayals, notably Bela Lugosi’s, and introduced a darker, more intense vampire. Lee’s Dracula was seductive yet violent, blending charisma with genuine menace.
