Rasputin: The Mad Monk is only horror by association. It’s not scary and has no supernatural elements, but it was produced by Hammer Films, stars Christopher Lee, and was shot back-to-back with Dracula: Prince of Darkness. It could have been about fluffy teddy bears and the distributors still would have double-billed it with The Reptile.
