Condolences to his family and friends, but why the hell is this on here?

May he rest in peace.

But he was one of the scariest dudes on TV for a long while during my time as a youngster. I had a few bad dreams because of him. He was good at his trade as a sinister actor.

I do agree about wondering why this is posted here...

Count Dooku, Sarumon, Dracula, and the Man With the Golden Gun transcends all sport, social class, religion, and topic!! EVEN THE MODS CAN'T STAND UP TO HIM, EVEN IN DEATH. RIP Christopher Lee!

Aw man, you forgot Howling II. In all seriousness, he brought class to a LOT of B movies.

Sad news indeed. R.I.P.

RIP.

Really Sucks! He was the last living "legend" of horror (although he hated to be referred to by that). He was a pioneer, and is considered by the majority of film fans (myself included) to be the DEFINITIVE Count Dracula.

I'm going to watch a Hammer Horror marathon this weekend in his honor. I'm thinking about a trilogy of 'Horror of Dracula', 'The Mummy', and finish it off with 'Dracula: Prince of Darkness'. These movies and some fresh popped popcorn will make for a fitting tribute to his horror career.

The guy will be best remembered for a sex tape. Was a decent drummer too.

Good riddance.

I was sad to hear about this one. I believe he holds the record for the most roles in feature films (if he's not number one, he's close).

His sons curse finally caught up with him

His chicken was underrated, imho..

I never new that Lee was an award winning heavy metal artist. He put out several metal albums in recent years.

If they didn't put a stake in his heart, he won't stay dead.
