I found a copy of THE FILMS OF CHRISTOPHER LEE by Pohle and Hart! I am very thrilled to have one and I really like the pictures section!

I'm really glad for you, Wendy -- it's a good book.

I'm just considering banging my head against a wall for letting two things slip by on eBay because I didn't set my alarm and got absorbed in working on something. Both were Christopher Lee items the sellers didn't know how to promote *as* Christopher Lee items. The PC game "Ghosts" (with Christopher Lee) went for ten cents plus $4 shipping. See it here if you can bear it.

Also, a lot of fifteen factory-made VHS tapes that included "The House That Dripped Blood" (!!!) went for $20.49 plus $10 shipping. The other films were: "Tales from the Crypt," "South Park" 3, 4, 8, and 9; "White Zombie" with Bela Lugosi, "The Raven" and "The Black Cat" with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi (They didn't even mention Peter Lorre!), "The Fly" with Vincent Price, "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954), "The Terror" with Boris Karloff, "Night of the Living Dead" (1970), "Primal Fear," "Independence Day," and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" with Charles Laughton.
See it here if you can stand it.

I'd been waiting for a copy of "House That Dripped Blood" I could afford, and that price would have qualified, given how difficult it is to find, even without the other classics. This person didn't put "Christopher Lee" in the title, and didn't even mention Peter Lorre in the description, so his auction didn't see much action. I had written him to make sure these were factory tapes, too. Many people selling lots this size have home-made copies, which probably deflected even more would-be bidders.

I'm really glad you tracked down your prize and got it!

Missing that bid was a blessing after all!

I always get "House That Dripped Blood" mixed up with "House of the Long Shadows," which is the rare one (at least in the United States). I have "House That Dripped Blood." That would have been way too expensive for a tape I already have!

Congratulations Wendy! That book is a great reference and the pictures are fascinating. Enjoy the book! Mr. Lee's comments on the various films are worth the cost of the book all on their own.

Hi Wendy;
i am glad that you have found a copy of the book, and i hope that you are not angry at me for winning the auction on ebay for that same book that you were also bidding on.
I did not receive it yet, but i am looking forward to it, and reading Charle`s comments on it makes me wish harder that it`ll get here fast!!
I sure hope that i`ll get it before the final round of the competition!!!, this will be a very useful tool i am sure.

take care !!
Sylvain

Sylvain, I am so thrilled that you won the book! It was great to see one in "our group" get it! I found my copy of the book at the Amazon.com ZShops. This is a good spot to check for people who are looking for a copy. One may pop up again! Sylvain, I know you will enjoy the book! Congrats!

My copy came in the mail on Thursday, and after a quick look through the pages, i am really happy to finally have this book.
The section with the photos is amazing, with some very rare ones, and i am sure i'll enjoy reading it.
