After the original trend started by universal in the 30s gave way to the si-fi atomic bug era of the 50s HAMMER FILM PRODUCTIONS, revitalized the gothic horror scene in the very late 50s and thrived thru the late 60s and then sadly died out and went out of business by 75.

The Company was the star makers of Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing.

The Company took characters such as frankenstein and took them in different directions than universal did, while universals was stuck in a endless cycle of following the monster being killed, reawoken and killed again the hammer films followed the exploits and varied experiments of victor frankenstein (cushing) himself. allowing for far greater range in character development and story possibilities.

The company recently began anew and returns to there roots in gothic horror with Let me In (2008) & The Woman in Black (2012)

what is your favorite Hammer Film horror or otherwise?

Out of the few I have seen maybe the first Dracula they did. Haven't seen all the Hammer films nor enough to really give a vote.

Sucks how badly they treated Christopher Lee in regards to his role as Dracula.

Wow, that list, I was about to say you forgot "Lust for a Vampire" as a joke, but... you didn't. Mmmmmm yutte stensgaard

Anyway, I'll be boring and say the original Dracula or Frankenstein movie.

Though I watched Seven Golden Vampire's a few months back and it was surprisingly entertaining.

I've actually seen quite a lot of these movies over the years but tbh a lot of them blend into each other for me these days, I actually prefer Amicus horror movies like From Beyond the Grave and their EC adaptations personally.

for me at the moment

1.) the mummy

2.) dracula has risen from the grave

3.) the abominable snow man

honorable mentions go to one million years bc, when dinos ruled the earth, probably horror of dracula

how so?, from what i heard he was the one being troublesome after every single film he would swear to the public he would not come back to the role and then did so. he understandably did not wish to be typecast in the role but still...

did hammer legally force him to come back?

The Devil Rides Out easy!

still need to see this one, looked interesting

Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde, if only because it's so hilariously bad

Curse of the Werewolf. The only werewolf film Hammer made, and considered by many to be one of the best.

Runners up are Revenge of Frankenstein and The Night Creatures.
