LEE-A-THON MOVIE OF THE DAY NO. 14

THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA!  
Hammer's final venture in the Dracula series with Christopher Lee is also miles better than SCARS OF DRACULA.  Lee is back wearing the cape and Cushing's back wielding the stake and Michael Coles is back wearing the badge while Joanna Lumley subs for Stephanie Beacham as Van Helsing's granddaughter.  Sure, there are multitudinous lapses in logic but the D.D. Denham angle is intriguing and the film's a solid Hammer Horror.
