just spent a very pleasant morning watching 2 of my favourite Hammer's.
Brides of Dracula and Kiss of the Vampire.
Any other Hammer fans out there?

Yes!!

Peter Cushing goodness in Hammer films, right?

oh yes!!!

I have almost every genre Hammer film ever produced. I was even considering a starting a thread.

I am missing a couple of the Frankenstein films, and then maybe a dozen of the much less well known ones. Like Abominable Snowman, Revenge of She, Hammers Slasher movies, like Paranoiac, Fanatic and others.

Just last nite I got Captain Clegg, (plus 2 Cushing movies that arent Hammer films) The house that dripped blood, and the Hellfire Club.

http://imdb.com/company/co0103101 a list of their output, much of it non-genre.

There are great places to find these classic movies online, and if there is something you are looking for, drop me a PM.

PS,

I really like the Karnstein Trilogy.

The Vampire Lovers
Lust of the Vampire
Twins of Evil

Brides of Dracula is, I think, my fave of all the Hammer flicks.

If only for the ad copy for the trailer

...whose beauty was her passport to the twilight world of the undead!

Oh, yeah

Little Shoppe of Horrors and The house that Hammer built are must reads.Wayne Kinsey has just published his last volume on the Hammer Years, im at 1973 just now.

I think I have others that havent been added to my list.

Twins of Evil was brilliant,Cushing was very gaunt and intimidating as Weil.im not such a big fan of the other two though.

His beloved wife passed away prior to filming, and it showed in this movie. I was surprised how much sex there was in a 1970s movie. Quite a show...

I have three Cushing movies that aren't Hammer films: Dr. Who & The Daleks, Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 AD, and, um, Star Wars.

Todd, Captain Kronos isnt on your list . . .

I have that one on DVD but havent ripped it to my archive. Good catch!!

I love Hammer movies, although I've never managed to see Abominable Snowman. My favourite is probably Frankenstein Must be Destroyed.

The first time I saw a naked woman was when, as a kid, I saw Ingrid Pitt chasing another blonde nymphette around a bed in The Vampire Lovers. It was on the telly late at night, and I wasn't supposed to be up that late, but there was a party or something, and I vividly recall that moment.

Kate Bush wrote a song about Hammer movies, as well.

Huge Hammer fan here.

I've got about 31 of their genre films on DVD so far, still have a ways to go. Hopefully, there'll be some re-issues in the future, because some of the films are fetching a pretty penny on the secondary markets.

I'll second Gerry's recommendation of Little Shoppe of Horrors, fantastic mag. I'm really looking forward to the next issue devoted to Terence Fisher. I haven't read a lot about the man, so this should be very interesting.

Face of Fu Manchu tonight. Not Hammer, but Chris. Lee plays chinese. Should be good!

how did you like Fu Manchu Todd?

So what do you guys think of the recent purchase of Hammer and the supposed return to production?

Well, if they could revive even a fraction of that magic, I think it'd be a very good thing. I don't know that they'd get away with some of the stuff they used to back in the 'olden days' now, but that's a revival I'd like to see happen.
