Sir Christopher Lee, the last of the classic horror movie stars, an icon of fantasy cinema, and a real-life bad-ass in general, has passed away at the age of 93.

To say the man was a beloved legend would be an understatement. And although he will no doubt be missed, the fact that he was still working into his later years, and by the graces of his many fans-turned-major-film-directors, means that he certainly was not forgotten, nor legacy wasted.

If you guys get a chance, please go and track down "The Devil Rides Out", alias "The Devil's Bride" from 1968.

It's a dark fantasy adventure, where Christopher Lee plays an occult hero, protecting his friends against a Satanic cult. And the various demons that they summon to attack our protagonists. A hugely entertaining, fun film, along with being my personal favorite from Mister Lee and Hammer Films. Highly Recommended






UPDATE: Might as well share this wonderful bit of silliness from the legendary actor.

I've never seen the 1983 comedy "The Return of Captain Invincible", but this is still one of my favorite Christopher Lee moments. Between this, his guest cameo in "The Magic Christian", and "Gremlins 2: The New Batch", my only regret was that Mr. Lee wasn't in more comedies.

This really depresses me. One of my favorites of his is the original The Wicker Man.
