Horror Express.

It has to be either The Satanic Rites of Dracula or Dracula 72AD

Horror Express is my favorite one too. And for change, they're both playing good guys and are on the same side.

What's interesting about that one is that Cushing was deep in mourning for his recently deceased wife, and almost pulled out of the picture. Lee, feeling that it would be good for his dear friend to keep busy with work to help keep his mind off his grief, persuaded him to stick it out. Lee was such a good actor, and such a consummate professional, that you'd never know any of this from his performance.
