Horror Hall of Fame: Christopher Lee is the latest inductee!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

It's time for a new episode of our Horror Hall of Fame video series, and in this one we're inducting one of the greatest and most popular genre icons of all time: Sir Christopher Lee! Sir Christopher had nearly 300 screen credits to his name when he passed away in 2015 at the age of 93, with appearances in some of the biggest movies ever made, gracing both the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings franchises with his presence. He made many horror movies over the years, but he's best known for playing the role of Dracula ten times. That's in "seven films for Hammer Productions, once for Jesse Franco's Count Dracula, uncredited in Jerry Lewis's One More Time, and Édouard Molinaro's Dracula and Son".

Check out the video embedded above to help us celebrate the life and career of Sir Christopher Lee.

Here's what the Horror Hall of Fame series is all about: 

What does it take to become a Horror icon? Whether it be the Filmmakers orchestrating the frights, the Artists crafting the gore, or the Actors engineering the scares, this series takes an in-depth look at the men and women who paved the way for an entire generation of horror fans, and made the genre what it is today.

This episode was Written and Narrated by Benjamin Skinner, Edited by Lance Vlcek, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
