We mentioned Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee yesterday and that got me thinking about their two "modern era" Dracula films.
I would never pretend that Dracula A.D. 1972, or its sequel, The Satanic Rites of Dracula, were "good" films in any objective sense. But I certainly enjoyed Cushing's role as a modern day occult investigator. Both movies have a real Sax Rohmer vibe, and I would've loved it Hammer had jettisoned Dracula and made a series about Cushing's occult investigator.
Yet another missed opportunity...
