Post by: Newt on June 11, 2015, 07:04:35 AM Apparently there were rumours all week that this was a hoax - sadly, not so. Must have been because they delayed the news being made public.

The first film I ever saw him in was Horror Express - I saw this on TV when I was a pre teen and I loved it.

Title: Re: Sir Christopher Lee has passed away. Post by: pennywise37 on June 11, 2015, 03:12:04 PM you know what's sad other than him passing away of course. i was at work today and a friend of mine said he passed away i said WHAT? i didn't believe it or rather didn't want to believe it. and nobody at my table this was during lunch by the way knew who he even was! i tried to say Count Dooku but i don't think anyone knew who i was talking about, it's like i was talking a different language and it just saddens me that they have no clue who he even is!

Title: Re: Sir Christopher Lee has passed away. Post by: Ash on June 11, 2015, 08:05:23 PM Not two days ago I was watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and wondered to myself how many years he had left in him. I should've been thinking in terms of days.
RIP to a great actor. Title: Re: Sir Christopher Lee has passed away. Post by: RCMerchant on June 12, 2015, 05:00:00 AM What? WHAT???

Boris Karloff. They were dead by the time I was 8 years old-I watched Vincent Price,Peter Cushing...and Christopher Lee. And beyond Barbra Steele-thats it.It's done. The last of the REAL horror icons are dead. I grew up-watching Lee,Price and Cushing on movies-Karloff died when I was 7-but I seen these guys on the big screen. Now the last is dead. I love you Christopher Lee. Childhood ends.
