Just curious, Mario Thanks, To cut a long story short ............... I was in London for the weekend and had contacted the Lee family on the off chance I could visit and have my poster signed. I was aware that Christopher Lee was signing items sent in by mail to his daughters house and was lucky enough to be invited in person. The video may be barely 2 mins but I was there for two hours. What a day and what a gentelman.

When he asked me if the whisky was a single malt I hadn't noticed so I just repeated that it was a Robert Burns whisky bottled in Lamlash ( a town on Arran ) Turns out it was a blended whisky. I had also just bought the Anchor Bay DVD of To The Devil... and we spoke about it for a wee while He said that it could have been a much better film but I added that I really liked it despite its shortcomings. As I said, he was very nice and easy to talk to.

Lee does everything in his power to avoid his association with horror films nowadays, and he usually makes it clear that "I will not sign horror items". If he isn't interested in being associated with Count Dracula these days I can only imagine what he thinks of TO THE DEVIL A DAUGHTER. It's great that Hamicus managed to get his poster signed, though -- I had to buy Lee's book (which I never read) to get him to sign that. You'd think the guy would sign whatever item you want, so long as you pay for the book. But noooooooo... ---------------------- "It's MORE ... than a hobby!"

I helped a wee bit with the packaging but Christopher Lee took his time with each item. He wanted to be sure to sign it in the correct place so that it would look good and didn't smudge. My poster is framed and has pride of place in my study. It's signed " To Matt, my best Christopher Lee. I wish I knew who sent in the FOH set for Curse Of Frankenstein because he signed every one of the stills and had a good look at them whilst doing so.

He is an old school gentleman in my opinion and, as such, he has the good manners to make an effort to put you at your ease when in conversation, although that certainly doesn't mean he has to suffer fools gladly. I found him to be quite open and charming when chatting with him last year, and meeting him in person was definitely a highlight of my trip to London.
