Veteran British actor Christopher Lee was in the news this week, after the cape he wore in his role as Count Dracula was discovered in a London fancy dress shop. The shop owner confirmed that the cape wouldn’t be hired out again after the actor confirmed it was the genuine item. The cape is thought to be worth in the region of £25,000. Meanwhile the coat worn by Christopher’s co-star Peter Cushing in his role of Van Helsing has also been discovered and is currently being valued.

That's funny that they apparently didn't know the history of the cape. Pretty pricey though.
What an amazing amount of money these items are sold for these days. It would give a certain amount of cachet to the owner for Halloween, I guess!
Yes these things sell for a fortune nowadays Sheila.
Marion I agree, it's a nice Halloween treat for somebody!
