When the man before one has feared a lifetime most of all dies – which says what you feel then? He was wonderful. A Large! One, before one’s own fear was no shame. A bit like one of her and always terror, but never shame.

Christopher Lee, the first “Dracula” in my theater experience (the former Max Schreck and Bela Lugosi only later were added, both much less dangerous), a master of horror, was probably why he made such a deep fear. Because he had manners and was courteous, before he bit down, almost tenderly, but mercilessly. Now he is dead, dreiundneunzigjährig in a clinic in London, and we may, without violating the piety, say this death was worthy of him: one day reported repeatedly denied time and again just as the needs in his roles so often in fact resurrected again to immortality damned with nightfall. Finally, the denials stopped. Christopher Lee, born on May 27, 1922 in London, is actually just died there on June 7.


                         
         
         
                                                                   

         
         
                                                             

More than 270 roles are listed under his name, a truly supernatural speed. Not all belong to horror movies, but most; Numerous he played for Hammer Films, to bring the British specialty label of the genre, where you knew how to do that style and terror under one roof. This began in the fifties, in 1974, he ended up as the villain in James Bond, and so it went until old age on. Also in the “Lord of the Rings” Lee was evil, even in “Star Wars” none of the good. He was just too compelling cruelly while he looked like a Count, as you still knew something including Posh. He probably has the nobility long before the Queen to him “Sir” was, by his mother, a Duchess of Italian descent, and the attitude of his father, an English military. And its multilingualism from Switzerland, where he grew up.

“Tall, Dark and Gruesome” he called his autobiography, a title calculated to Men to keep for his roles. So there was reason to fear. No Dracula was creepy. May he rest in peace.
