- circa 1955
A reference photograph showing Roy Ashton (1909-1995) applying vampire bites to the back of his own hand, taken by an unknown photographer in about 1955. These latex puncture marks were applied to the skin and blended with make-up, to make it appear as though blood had been drawn from the victim in the Hammer `Dracula' films.
