Date Sold 9/28/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 19 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) The Satanic Rites of Dracula (released in the U.S. in 1978 as "Count Dracula and His Vampire Bride" [see below]), the 1973 Alan Gibson English Hammer cult science fiction (sci-fi) vampire horror thriller ("The Masters of Menace Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing They're dead but they're alive..."; "'The King of the undead marries the Queen of the Zombies'"; "Evil begets evil on the sabbath of the undead!") starring Christopher Lee (in the title role as Count Dracula), Peter Cushing (as Professor Van Helsing), Michael Coles, William Franklyn, Freddie Jones, Joanna Lumley, and Pauline Peart (she had been voted Jamaica Island's Number One beach beauty, which got her the part in this movie). Note that Warner Bros. planned to release this film in the U.S. as "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" in 1974, but then decided to shelve it, and later sold the rights to Dynamite Entertainment who first released the movie in the U.S. in 1978 as "Count Dracula and His Vampire Bride". Except for some 8x10 stills from the aborted release, all 1974 U.S. Warner Bros. advertising material was intended for international audiences (they are marked "international" or "foreign"). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these stills appear in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right of each still. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the stills were printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that they WERE printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So they are original stills from 1973, but they were printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The stills are in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
