Hammer Horror
I love Hammer, Peter Cushing always does great as the hero, and Christopher Lee will always be a true Dracula (or the villian) to me.
My fav hammer film is Horror of Dracula...what about yours? |
Well, it doesn't get any better than "Horror of Dracula," does it? Strong on atmosphere, great acting, good score, nice special effects.
There's a still I have of Jonathan Harker's dessicated corpse lying in its coffin after being staked--they built a neat dummy for this, very gruesome. I don't know if this shot was featured in any existing cuts, but my guess is that it was in the Japanese theatrical release, if anywhere. |

I guess my favorite would also be Horror of Dracula since it was Hammers first Dracula film. Chris Lee is the ultimate Dracula in my opinion. Peter Cushing was fabulous as well in all of his Hammer films....here's a list of my Hammer collection, not alot but I'm still working on it...:D Horror of Dracula Dracula Prince of Darkness Taste the Blood of Dracula Dracula Has Risen From the Grave Scars of Dracula Dracula AD 1972 Brides of Dracula Satanic Rites of Dracula Curse of Frankenstein Kiss of the Vampire Lust for a Vampire Vampire Lovers ( Ingrid Pitt :p :D ) Countess Dracula ( Ingrid Pitt :p :D ) Dracula and the Undead ( documentary on vampires in movies ) Vamp ( documentary of female vampires in movies :D ) Flesh and Blood - Hammer Heritage of Horror Like I said not much but I add to it every chance I get. I grew up watching these as a kid, still love them today :D . . |
Hey Dallas dont forget Lee was also in The Devil rides out 1968 The Mummy 1959 Lee was also in Curse of Frankenstien 1957. There are so many horror movies that star Chris Lee and Peter Cushing. But my fave Hammer Mummy movie is Blood from the Mummys Tomb 1971 staring Valerie Leon. Hammer horror nothing like them.

One thing about Hammer they sure had goodlooking actresses in their horror movies.
|
Good Looking Actresses
PURRRRRRRRR MEOW Yeah!

How about Caroline Munro she was in a couple of Hammer movies in 1974 she was in Captian Kronos Vampire Hunter and she was in 1972 Dracula AD. Caroline was so goodlooking she was a Bond girl in 1977 The Spy who Loved Me.

Ive seen but one Hammer movie, but it left me wanting to see more from them. It was their 1959 Hound of the Baskervilles, with Cushing as Homes, and Lee as Henry Baskerville. Wow, that was an amazing movie:D
|
Interesting Fact bout Baskervilles:
For his role as Sherlock Holmes he of course had to have a pipe but as Peter Cushing was either a non-smoker or didn't like the taste of the pipe, he kept a glass of milk always to hand to remove the taste. Thats pretty neat |
