    Taken from today's CNN.com..

    Well that's it for the old masters of horror. Bella Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, Vincent Price and now Christopher Lee.

    Time for the next generation of horror actors to step up. I just hope the material they'll be acting from will be of good quality. Seems that this generation is more at home with sequels.

    RIP Sir Christopher. I enjoyed all of your films.

    Lee could play any role, not just horror.

    The last film I saw him in was the Fu Manchu role and in one scene he calmly chopped off his own head using a guillotine.

    RIP

    Very true. We lost one of the last of the old Masters. I doubt if we see their ilk again in our lifetime. :(

    If you were up all night on a weekend or came home from partying at 3 AM some TV channel would always have the dynamic duo Peter Cushing and C. Lee in some gothic flic

    Hell yeah! Back then, you'd have some good weed, cold wine and a 21" Color TV, kick back with some White Castles and just watch TV until the station went off the air. :)

    See the average fan gets sucked in with these fantasy stats and doesn't appreciate Bela Legosi at all.

    Very good. Lugosi had nothing on Lee though.
