In all, Lee played Dracula ten times: seven films for Hammer Productions, once for Jess Franco's Count Dracula (1970), uncredited in Jerry Lewis's One More Time (1970) and douard Molinaro's Dracula and Son (1976) (he also played an unnamed but Dracula-like vampire in The Magic Christian [1969]).

He played the role over ten times, seven of those in Hammer productions. Lee made his grand entrance in glorious Technicolor as Dracula in the Terence Fisher-directed film from Hammer Film Productions, alluringly descending a staircase in commanding yet extremely polite fashion to greet his ill-fated guest.
