Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972) Dir. Alan Gibson – A groovy Hammer horror dripping with70’s style. Bringing Dracula into swinging London shouldn’t work- at all—or as well-but it does. Cushing and Lee anchor the madness, and the wild set décor is worth the price of admission. Campy, colorful and fun.🎞️📽️

Released on this day in 1956 was the British science fiction horror film, X the Unknown. Made by the Hammer Film Productions company, it stars Dean Jagger and Edward Chapman. This is the story of a radioactive, mud-like creature terrorizing a Scottish village. #OnThisDay

On this day in 1964, Hammer unveiled The Gorgon to UK audiences - a haunting film that stands as one of the studio’s most poetic creations. 🖤

Impossible not to laugh along with Peter and Chris larking around during the ‘Mr Cushing and Mr Lee’ special feature. Bloody delightful! Mad wit and such warmth. Made ever more moving due to it being the final time the two would meet before Cushing’s passing. WHAT a team they made 🖤
An older Christopher Lee (right) looks fondly at his friend and fellow actor Peter Cushing as he laughs hysterically at a joke Lee has just cracked. Taken from the voice-over recording for the ‘Flesh and Blood’ Hammer doc made in 1994.

Being a fan of Hammer Films, Christopher Lee and Dracula, I decided to make myself a little something inspired by Dracula A.D. 1972, my favorite film starring Lee as the immortal count. Not quite movie accurate, but close enough.
Perfect way to fill an empty spot on a wall in my studio! Still image from Dracula A.D. 1972. The portrait of Professor Van Helsing's nemesis hangs in his study. Still image from Dracula A.D. 1972. Close up of Dracula's portrait in Professor Van Helsing's study.

Double trouble from Hammer with delightfully lurid artwork by Mike Vaughan 🖤
Poster artwork for the double bill of Twins of Evil and Hands of the Ripper, featuring brightly coloured characters and font. The twins appear in bright red open night dresses on the left, and on the right a bare shouldered woman is screaming with the silhouette of two clawed hands reaching for her.

Also released on this day in 1971 - and paired with Twins of Evil for one cracking double bill (!) - was the violent and psychologically intriguing Hands of the Ripper 🖤

On this day in 1971, Hammer released the final part of their Karnstein trilogy, Twins of Evil. A delicious tale of sisterhood, seduction, and torch-wielding hypocrisy 🖤
