If only they’d listened to Barbara Shelley, none of this would have happened :)

Wow. I had no idea.

Exclusive Films (Robert JE Simpson) @exclusivefilms.bsky.social · 9d

If you think Hammer was only films then you're very wrong. Hammer Productions were also extensively involved in theatre in the 40s and 50s.

I've spent this morning organising some of my collection of Hammer theatre programmes for a future project.

Love it or hate it - LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES, Hammer’s final Dracula film, was released on this day in 1974. A collaboration with Hong Kong’s Shaw Brothers, it’s a mash-up of horror and martial arts. Your mileage may vary :) #classichorror #hammerhorror #hammer #Dracula #draculamovies

Definitely #frankenstein on the brain lately with @hammerfilms.bsky.social 4k release of THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and @realgdt.bsky.social new version about to hit the screens. Can’t wait for both #classichorrormovies #classichorror #brideoffrankenstein #univeralhorror #universalhorrormovies

Of all the Hammer films this one has some legitimately scary moments, I think.

Love this poster of 1971’s DR JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE, although BLOOD FROM THE MUMMYS TOMB and its creeping hand might double better with Amicus’ AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS #classichorror #classichorrormovies #drjekyll #amicus #hammerhorror #horrordoublefeature #horrordoublebill #britishhorror

This is actually a really great trailer.

A year and a day after production began, Dracula A.D. 1972 was unleashed upon the British public 🖤

I just re-watched this last night! It’s one of the darkest Hammers. Gut-wrenching at times.

Its one of the best endings in all horror movies, I think.

This Wednesday morning the devil has sent us….Twins of Evil! The House of Hammer Magazine, February 1977 🖤

Magazine cover art featuring Gustav Weil (Peter Cushing) brandishing a cross against a backdrop of a skull and bones against a burnt tree and a woman’s enlarged face in yellow, screaming as she burns.

Minus Lee, this one belongs to Cushing and he owns it. Close competition from the terrific cast and Hammers stunning production design though. Classic. 1960.
