Yeah bummer, Terry Pratchett earlier, bow Christopher Lee.
Another of my heroes gone.

Still, at least Christopher Lee had a long life.

Farewell Count Dracula, Saruman etc....

And he was the only person involved in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that had actually met J.R.R. Tolkien.

I liked him best as the Evil Mister Midnight in the superhero parody "The Return Of Captain Invincible. "

I liked him in House of the long shadows where he worked with Vincent Price & Peter Cushing. Too bad they didn't work together more often, though he did work many times with Mr. Cushing.

He also played CAPSLOCK DEATH in the BBC adaptation of Sir Terry's "The Color of Magic". And now my inner DEATH voice when I read Discworld is always Christopher Lee.

Plus that Metal album Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross from 2010.

RIP - His career included so many great, amazing moments.

The last Horror Star. Sure you have Bruce Campbell, Robert Englund etc, but they're not household names outside of fandom.

Everyone knew who Lee, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Peter Cushing were.

“There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights" (Van Helsing in Dracula). Christopher Lee was the light of all lights for Hammer Horror. "Good night, sweet Count. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

All that, and a genuine member of "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare". Which title begs for a book.

In his first Frankenstein movie when his character is shot that was a real scream of pain. The fake blood irritated his eye badly.

I of course thought of Peter Lorre too, and then John Carradine... and it seemed like my list of great horror heroes wouldn't end anytime soon!
