Was Cushing the best Van Helsing? - Dracula (1958) Discussion

[–] rudeboymurray (3290) 5 years ago

Yes - especially in Brides of Dracula, which is great fun even without the Count making an appearance!

Cushing really was a superb dramatic actor who brought such class and polish to all of his performances, but it's for the Hammer movies that he'll be remembered.

Who wrote that? That's like saying Adam Sandler was the best Dracula.

Definitely. Every time a new Van Helsing shows up I always compare him to Cushing, the Master.

Jack Elam was a great Van Helsing in Cannonball Run? He did a great job in the ambulance and they almost won the cross country race

His only strength was the ability to look in two different directions at the same time for approaching threats.
