Tisher Price Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 If you like Hammer Horror films, which are yr favourites? Since the age of 7 I became a Hammer Horror fan. That's when I first learned of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, my very first favourite actors. No one in my class at school had a clue what I was talking about when my childlike babble would recall the various movies I had seen. (When I was 7 they showed Hammer movies often past the midnight hour on Friday nights/Sat mornings on a certain station, when i'd sneak out of bed to watch them). I told my younger sister and cousins of Christopher Lee but being unfamiliar with the actor, they joked and called him "Christ-a-Furley"--we were all fans of Three's Company's "Mr. Furley." Then they stopped showing Hammer movies. Many years later as an adult I asked a boyfriend, studying to become a film director if he's ever heard of "these gothic/Victorian type films that were British and looked like they were from the 1960s. They started a guy named Christopher Lee, and a guy named Cushing?" He told me they were called "Hammer Movies." So the long and the short of it, i'm a huge fan. I own almost all the Hammer Horror films on DVD except for the ever elusive "The Reptile" and "Rasputin, the Mad Monk," along with "Twins of Evil" and I have yet to be four other Dracula movies starring Lee--"Satanic Rites of Dracula" "Dracula 1972 A.D." and 2 others. Here are my favourites: Horror of Dracula Dracula, Prince of Darkness The Curse of the Werewolf Paranoiac Die! Die! My Darling! (Tallulah Bankhead cracks me up) Frankenstein Created Woman Dracula Has Risen From The Grave The Curse of Frankenstein Nightmare The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll The Gorgon Plague of the Zombies The Nanny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBeacon Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 My two favorites are: "The Brides of Dracula" "The Curse of the Werewolf" I think they seem more believable than the Universal monsters. Also the music seems to play a bigger part in the films for a fuller experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
