One of the most remarkable individuals from the history of horror, Sir Christopher Lee has helped shape the genre and became somewhat the cornerstone of British horror many years ago. A key component of the Hammer Horror era, Lee rose to fame as he played Frankenstein's monster in 1957's 'The Curse Of Frankenstein', a film that would mark his first credited appearance on screen with fellow horror legend Peter Cushing. This role would soon be made his own, as he proceeded with personifying Bram Stoker's creation in a wide range of Hammer follow-ups, instantly recognisable as classics of the genre. His return to horror did come, so too did regular collaborations with director Tim Burton, with 'Sleepy Hollow' and 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street' graced with his towering presence.
