8/10 most were guesses. When I was a kid, a local tv station used to rerun those old Christopher Lee movies with him as the vampire. Scared the he** out of me. Slept with the light on for quite a while after watching those. 😄
8/10 Wavered between two on #6 and picked the wrong one, guessed wrong on #8. Actually surprised I knew so many.
8 out of 10. Longtime Hammer fan. A later day Hammer film not mentioned here, but in my opinion one of the best is "Vampire Circus."
Hammer Films are very atmospheric, all without the gore and guts of today's schlock. Hammer Forever!
The late Terry Pratchett, of Discworld and other writings fame, did a send-up of British horror films in "Carpe Jugulum" and I believe one other book.
One of my favorite item was his naming of the vampires' castle called "Don'tgonearthe Castle".

There's a footnote in "Carpe Jugulum" or the other book describing Pratchett's observation that the ubiquitous black coach carrying the hapless victim/potential protagonist always seemed to break down/wreck at about the same spot along the lake in Black Park very near Pinewood Studios.
