Here’s an interesting snippit about the VERY heavy cape that Christopher Lee wore in his Hammer Films role of Dracula.
Yours truly has seen the said cape at The Dracula Experience in Whitby - not terribly interesting, I have to say, but it does look big and heavy!

According to Variety, there are plans afoot for a new Dracula movie based not on Bram Stoker’s hero, but on the historical figure of Vlad the Impaler. The film is to be called, ‘Dracula, Year Zero.’ Can’t wait!
Of even more interest, Elizabeth Kostova’s novel, ‘The Historian’, is also set to make its appearance on the big screen. I think the ‘Blair Witch’ guy could be involved!
If you haven’t read the novel, I suggest you do so as it’s an excellent read. It’s a kind of ‘thinking persons’ Dracula story, based on certain actual historical events, but with a gothic twist.
Things are looking up!
