Hammer Horror (1957-1976)


I started out to make a list of all of the Hammer Studio trailers on a particular trailer compilation DVD I had and realized I should just list all of them since I'm going to eventually see them anyway. Nearly all of the trailers on the disc were fullscreen which was a huge letdown and there were some glaring film omissions. The other Hammer trailer comp. I have (from Anchor Bay) has them in gorgeous widescreen prints but there were only twenty and that simply won't do.

So what I've done is list all of the horror output from Hammer from when they hit the ground running in 1957 (although they had been around for more than 20 years, it's from '57 on that they really hit their stride with Gothic horror) until their demise in the late 70s. Obviously not all of these are of the Gothic horror variety they are so famous for but each of these films at least features some strong horror elements that made them the premiere horror film studio for a solid 15 year period, untouched by anyone else.

I LOVE Hammer films through and through. I've easily seen a third of these and it's going to be fun revisiting them like old friends. Even the worst ones I've seen so far are better than most that came out at that time. This is one list of films I am really looking forward to hammering through. Ahahahahahaha.
