Christopher Lee Sculpture Dracula Lifesized Bust
Hammer Horror’s famed Dracula, this Christopher Lee sculpture brings the famed count back to undead life!
A hand sculpted likeness bust of the legendary British actor as the title character in the 1958 Hammer film, Dracula, this life-sized Christopher Lee sculpture was created in clay by sculptor Tom Spina for casting in latex.
Once cast in latex, the head was hand painted and glass eyes added. Our client wanted this for a custom mannequin project, so realistic detailing was key. We finished the bust with hand laid hair including the famous streaks of gray from those classic Hammer films! Initially created this to be part of a client’s lifesized wax museum-style statue, we have since also created a life sized bust version of the sculpture, as shown in the pictures on this post.

A few words from our client…
“I was very impressed with the photographs that you sent me of the finished bust, BUT… when I opened the box/parcel containing the Dracula Bust I was speechless, in a good way. The bust looks even better up close, ultra realistic & an exceptional true to life [and] image… of Christopher Lee as Count Dracula.” – Paul
“The work needs to be seen to be believed, simply outstanding work. I could not be happier with this piece and would highly recommend him to anyone without any hesitation!! again thank you Tom, you are a true artist…keep up the good work! Cheers from Florida, Christine”
