To start our Classic British Horror Season in style, we will screen the quintessentially British 'Dracula'!  Brought to you by Hammer House of Horror in the 1950s, starring Christopher Lee as the blood sucker and Peter Cushing as possibly the best cinema Van Helsing!   Don't dare see it...alone!

You know the story... Jonathan Harker takes employment with Count Dracula, tries to destroy him and fails.  The Count soon preys on Harker's fiancee and friends.  Only Dr van Helsing holds the key and the gall to their salvation.  Christopher Lee is a horrifying Count, Peter Cushing is an intense and amazing van Helsing, Dracula is a fantastic piece of British cinematic history.
