Washington, Oct 22 (ANI): The original cape donned by veteran actor Christopher Lee in the 1958 vampire movie, 'Dracula,' has been discovered in a London fancy dress store.

The prized memorabilia, which was missing for past thirty years, is considered to be worth 50,000 dollars.

The 85-year-old actor was called upon to verify the authenticity of the cloak after store staff found it.

Store's manager Emma Angel asserted that she was "delighted" to have discovered the cape during their annual stock take.

"In the run-up to Halloween we are frantically checking our other costumes, so that we do not inadvertently let a party-goer show up to a raucous fancy dress party in any another precious pieces of film history," Contactmusic quoted Angel, as saying.

"We certainly won't be hiring this one out again in the near future," she added. (ANI)
