Latex vampire teeth used for long shots of vampire extras on the set of 'Dracula' (1958), created by Phil Leakey (1908-1992) in 1958. An impression of the actor's dental structure was taken to create these teeth. Any changes required were modelled in dental wax and a cast made, reproducing the modelled teeth in acrylic. These items are from the Ashton & Leakey Collection. Roy Ashton (1909-1995) and Phil Leakey worked for Hammer Films during the 1950s and 1960s. They were pioneers of special effects make-up - using cosmetics and prosthetics to transform an actor's appearance.
