The Dracula movies from Hammer Films featuring Christopher Lee were guaranteed to scare the everlovin' crap outta me.

My fave (also, IMO, the scariest) was Dracula has Risen from the Grave. I slept with the light on for almost a year after seeing that one. Christopher Lee was just awesome.

Other cherished faves are:

The Abominable Doctor Phibes and Doctor Phibes Rises Again, both starring Vincent Price;

Mask of the Red Death (also starring Vincent Price);

Scream and Scream Again (A Brit film comprised of various vignettes).

I dunno. The old British film makers had a great knack for creating awesome psychological and visual thrillers. Love them.

Since you mentioned Vincent Price, let me recall one of the most shocking horror movies I've seen, Witchmaster General (also released as Conqueror Worm). I love the last line: "It will be a sight easier cutting him down than it was hoisting him up".

Actually that was Lee's least favorite of his Dracula films from the 1960’s.

I liked it especially because of that busty barmaid with the red hair and the luscious cleavage.
I was so unhappy when she got killed in that horrible way!
That actress did not star in any other of these movies as far as I know.

Those Dr. Phibes films twisted my brain! Those are two truly bizarre films.
