Witness the glory of filmmaker and Hammer fan Ed Glaser’s mock trailer for the imaginary series The Van Helsing Mysteries! My wife and I have been watching Hammer horror movies all month.
So, just to amuse my wife, I cut a silly fake intro to “The Van Helsing Mysteries” using footage and music from “1972.”
That and having Peter Cushing’s Van Helsing back to battle Christopher Lee’s Dracula for the first time since their first waltz in Terrence Fisher’s 1958 flick Horror of Dracula just feels right…
The sequel, “Satanic Rites of Dracula,” follows the same characters, which gave it even more of a TV series feel.
