Dracula knighted!

Sir Christopher played Dracula in a number of Hammer horror films

Christopher Lee, the still-remarkably-sexy-(according to the only female member of the Acid Rabbi team)-considering-he's-87-years-old actor made world famous for his portrayal of Bram Stoker's Dracula in a series of Hammer House of Horror films during the '50s, '60s and '70s, has been knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

This is undoubtedly a well-deserved award, as Sir Christopher has been contributing to British culture for more than 50 years. But surely Count Christopher would have been much more fitting?

(Every single news service, newspaper, film magazine and website is going to make the same joke. Acid Rabbi would like to apologise in advance for how sick of it you'll be within a day or two.)
