Why It Rocks

 * 1) Christopher Lee's take on Dracula has gone down in history as the second most famous film incarnation of the Count, right behind Bela Lugosi.
 * 2) This is a landmark for horror films, as it was the first time that the classics were brought back with color, sex and blood.
 * 3) Peter Cushing also does a fantastic job portraying Van Helsing.
 * 4) The final confrontation between Dracula and Van Helsing is one of the greatest and most iconic fight scenes ever put on film.
 * 5) Incredible special effects. The best are at the very end, when we get to see Dracula's entire body decay in graphic fashion.
 * 6) Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing also have fantastic chemistry in the movie.

Reception
Dracula has a 91% critic rating and a 80% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 3.6/5 on Letterboxd, and a 7.4/10 on the International Movie Database (IMDB).
