A truly magnificent force of horror movies.
He was great person all around.
RIP Christopher, you'll be missed.

Sad news. He lent stature (both literally and figuratively) and dignity to a lot of Hammer and other British horror films, not all of which had those qualities inherently. He also had a great baritone voice and could have been an opera singer.
RIP.

I grew up watching this man.
It feels as though I've lost a close friend.

Christopher Lee, the last Master Of Horror, has died. Actor, singer, descendent of Charlemagne, WWII special operative.
You left out "legend". I always wished I had his imposing authoritative voice. I'm sure I'd have gotten a lot more things done.
From kack to cult and in between , I'm sure that we all have a favourite film and find Chistopher Lee in it.
Case in point for me: my favourite Captain America, and who do we have as the fierce opponent:
Thank you Prince of darness, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
D.S.
Thank you Prince of "darness" , dareness ? Darkness :-E

Oh no, not sir chris! Its a blow each time we keep lose one of these legends, these universal rocks who have been around all our lives.
Or as peter cushing called him "Christopher! darling! So good to see you"
a decent golfer, too.
..he will be making precision Baileys on a beach somewhere south of the border!
A full life to be proud of, but sad news.

I was only 5 years old when I saw "The Horror of Dracula" (US title) in 1958/59. As long as I live, I will never, ever, forget the almost force-of-nature feeling that pinned me to my seat when Mr. Lee entered as the "feral" Dracula -- eyes bloodshot, teeth bared, blood in his mouth. His first entrance at the beginning of the film had been as a cultured, rather sexy, aristocrat. The shocking reveal of the "other" made my young blood almost stop flowing.
I loved that movie. And, of course, his frequent co-star Peter Cushing -- and the other actors who graced Hammer films. As a kid, if it was a Hammer film, I was there. Pirates - Rasputin - whatever -- they were always special.
There are so many roles to which he brought something extra -- and not just in horror films. A world in which there will never be a new Christopher Lee performance is a bit reduced -- paler -- less exciting.
Rest in Peace Mr. Lee.
