Christopher Lee's black cape from the 1958 film version of Dracula is expected to fetch up to £30,000. The woollen cape is one of nearly 250 lots of film and TV costumes from the archives of Angels The Costumiers.
Outfits from Blackadder, Doctor Who and the Harry Potter films are also up for sale at the auction, at Bonhams in London on June 16.
Lee's cape is being sold together with a letter signed by the actor confirming the authenticity of the item, as well as a still image of him wearing the cape as Dracula. However, fans with a smaller budget still have the chance to snap up a pair of waistcoats worn by Lee in 1976's Dracula Pere Et Fils and a 1971 production of Sherlock Holmes. They are expected to fetch the more meagre sum of £100-150.
Other items available at the auction include a full-length cloak worn by Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia, two monkey masks from The Mighty Boosh and Halle Berry's wetsuit from James Bond film Die Another Day.
