Any fans of British Horror 1950's - 1970's

Hammer, Amicus, Tygon ect....

 

I just watched the fantastic, Dead Of Night. The ventriloquist episode alone is worth the price of admission.

 

Yes. Lots of them. Hammer's first Dracula and Frankenstein films, The Devil Rides Out, its Quatermass films and, on a less artistic level, the movies with Madeline Smith and Ingrid Pitt!!!! I like its Hound of the Baskervilles; it's not a horror but it uses a lot of the conventions.

Dead of Night, The Haunting, Night of the Eagle, Night/Curse of the Demon, Witchfinder General, Dr Terror's House of Horrors, Night of the Big Heat, The Skull, for instance...

 

I see old Hammer writer/producer and son of one of the founders Hammer Anthony Hinds died recently. 91 years old.

 

I got The Asphyx on DVD recently.

 

Love most of it. the series with Cushing as Dr. Frankenstein is great.
I own must of the stuff now on dvd and if you told me as a kid i would own these
one day I would have said NO WAY !
One of my favorites of all time is The Skull.
There are so many good ones.

 

I grew up watching UK horror on Saturday afternoon TV, so I have a soft spot for Hammer and Amicus films. Just got to see ASYLUM and BRIDES OF DRACULA at the annual Drive-In Super
Monster-rama in PA this summer and it was quite a treat. I love the lush costumes, sets, and elegance that the stories are so often set in, making the horror all that much more shocking when
it rises from the tomb.

 

Oh hell yes! Been a fan since I was a kid, I remember seeing "Dracula Has Risen From The Grave" on one of those local Friday Fright Night style shows in the late 70s and I've been an avid fan of all things Hammer & Amicus ever since.

 

Always love Michael Ripper who was in so many of these movies.

 

Hammer Film The Curse Of The Werewolf (1961) With Oliver Reed Is Great.

 

This is an up to date (I think) list of Brit Horror films I amassed over the years. It's a mix of Original DVDs, copy DVDs, original VHS and loads recorded from TV on to VHS.

Big fan here! I've got a pretty massive collection of Hammer Horror DVDs.

I've actually been working on re-watching the entire Hammer "Dracula" series lately... in fact, I'm watching Scars of Dracula right now.

 

The Hammer House of Horror Tv series is really good. Better than a lot of the films.

 

My 3 fav Hammer Drac's would be:

Dracula
Dracula, prince of Darkness
The Satanic rites of Dracula

 

Oh yes, big fan (but trying to lose weight). When I was around ten years old in the mid-70s, ITV used to show a sixties or seventies horror film after News At Ten. The films were preceded by a special trailer - the thread was called 'Appointment With Fear' and featured the partially-animated faces of Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, Wolf Man, The Mummy etc., accompanied by the creepiest sound effect as the faces morphed from one to the next. Honestly, I could barely bring myself to look at the screen until the film started. 'Dracula' is without doubt my favourite Hammer film; the final ten minutes of that film is about as good as film gets, sensational.

 

The Duc's niece in The Devil Rides Out had a great house. Loved the interiors in that. Even seeing that kind of stuff in B&W when I was younger-+ the interiors of Dracula's castle in the other movies- made me want to live in a house like that when I got older.

 

Just picked up Dracula Prince of Darkness o

I would add Brides of Dracula. Cushing is marvelous.

 

There was an echo effect on Appointment With Fear...Apointment ment ment with fear fear fear. Brings back memories watching with my grand dad and then talking about it with my mates at school the next day.

 

Nix that, not British as I had read previously.

 

Like a lot of the Hammer and Amicus stuff.

My blu-ray of Hammer's THE MUMMY just arrived yesterday and I'm really looking forward to watching it in the next day or so!

 

I love most of the Hammer films. I wish Warner Bros. would get off their duff and properly release them on Blu-ray.

 

pretty comprehensive list there!
i'm sure i've seen most of them myself.
one i can't see,and recommend for you [unless you have it under a different title?] would be the Vincent Price and Diana Rigg movie "Theatre of Blood."
he plays a stage actor who does away with his critics in gruesome fashion.

 

Love Hammer, Amicus and Tygon. I've also become a big fan of the films of Pete Walker, although he leaned a bit more in an exploitation direction at times. I think "Frightmare" is especially good.

 

Let's get To the Devil a Daughter out on Blu-Ray.
