Very cool topic!

All things considered, perhaps Hammer considered the shrivelled Harker to be too gruesome (or perhaps too fake-looking) for the final cut and ultimately opted for the "normal-looking" Harker/vampire.
I never found the Harkpire fake-looking. In fact as a youngster I found the photo really terrifying.
