First of all, let me say I think Lee is a great actor and great person (he is a war hero in real life). That being said, his attitudes on his Dracula work come off as a bit pretentious; he never seemed to appreciate how great these films were. He seemed to always look down on this role and complained a lot about it.... I mean, if he had problems with Prince of Darkness, Risen, or Taste the Blood, then why go on to do the very low budget (but entertaining) Scars, and why bother with the hokey A.D. and Satanic Rites? Methinks he doth protest too much and should be happier that these movies increased his fame, fortune and fan base greatly.
