Book Presentation:
With the re-emergence of Hammer and their new releases including Let Me In (2010), which received critical praise, and their forthcoming 2012 release of The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe already garnering interest, we wanted to take a look back at our old faves and wallow in fond memories —even as we anxiously await their new films. So, for all those fans, who were vampire, Frankenstein and werewolf fans before it was cool, we offer a series of chapters on our favorite Hammer films. This book is not a complete listing of Hammer films—that’s been done. Nor is it a chronological listing of their cinematic output. Rather it comprises articles from Midnight Marquee as well as several new entries that we think Hammer fans will enjoy. Chapters include: VAMPIRES Hammer Films and the Resurrection of Dracula Peter Cushing, Terence Fisher and Hammer’s Vampire Christopher Lee, Count Dracula and Hammer Films Peter Cushing and Van Helsing The Dracula Films with No Dracula! Hammer’s Hunt For A New Vein of Vampire Film: Three Semi-Classics from the 1970s Why the 1970s Bite Let Me In: The Return of Hammer and the Spirit of Val Lewton FRANKENSTEIN Evolving Worlds of Hammer’s Baron Frankenstein SCI-FI X—The Unknown Val Guest and Nigel Kneale: Hammer’s Dynamic Duo FANTASY Surviving the Lost Worlds of Hammer The Hammer Factory: Hammer Films, Corman Style The Abominable Snowman The Curse of the Werewolf The Devil Rides Out MUMMIES Christopher Lee Is The Mummy; Peter Cushing Is Kharismatic Hammer Films Unearth The Mummy PSYCHOS The Phantom of the Opera Paranormic and Nightmare To the Devil… a Daughter WAR Hammer Declares War Night Creatures
