The Brides of Dracula (1960)
Hammer built a gorgeous sequel without Christopher Lee, and it may be better than the original. A beautiful 7.5/10 gothic reviewed at Master of Worlds.
Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966)
Christopher Lee returns as Dracula without a single line of dialogue, and the resurrection scene is among Hammer’s best. A solid 7/10 reviewed at Master of Worlds.
