Perversatility



From a flask all a-foam Lee's been sipping
As a Baskerville, home comes with yipping
As a mummy, all swathed
He looks scummy, unbathed
From a casket he'll roam and start nipping.

David Cairns



From David: "The late Christopher Lee played most of the classic horror roles, from a version of Jekyll and Hyde in I, Monster, to Kharis the Mummy in The Mummy, to Dracula in a slew of Hammer horrors. He also played Sir Henry Baskerville in The Hound of the Baskervilles, not to mention Mycroft Holmes in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace."
