(This week's moment suggested by Count Waldeck)
Who: Dracula (as played by Christopher Lee)
What: Getting staked in the goddamn heart and not dying
When: November 1968
Where: "Dracula Has Risen From the Dead"
Why it's a great moment: It's the rules. You stake Dracula in the heart, he dies, right? Wrong. Christopher Lee's Dracula didn't just need a stake. He needed you to pray like a motherfucker. And the hunter in "Dracula Has Risen From the Dead" just didn't have it in him.
So Dracula cold throws the stake back at the guy, chases him to the roof and slings him around like a play toy. Then, to add insult to death, Drac cold stares down the dude's lady and verbally bitch slaps her to the ground. Dracula don't play.
And for that, we salute him.
Got a suggestion for one of villainy's greatest moments -- in comics, movies, books, TV, video games, whatever? Drop us a line at submissions@the-iss.com.
