I don't remember too much about The Hunger movie-but the book was excellent. Great shot of Fright Night Val-that part made me jump the first time I saw it!
How about Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein? That was a good one Posts: 452 | From: California | Registered: Apr 2010 | Site Updates: 14

Riptide, so glad to see Vampire Circus on your list and another's. That is a terrific Hammer Film and a personal favorite. I remember years ago the first time I saw the uncensored climax of that movie at a convention where a guy was selling a VHS copy of the PAL videocassette, and I was stunned. Man, did we get ripped off when it was released and censored in the U.S. I just read that Circus, Twins of Evil, and Hands of the Ripper (another personal favorite) may finally be coming to DVD courtesy Synapse later this year. It's about freakin' time! I've waited for these things for years to turn up on the legit market.

And Valley, you put Vampyros Lesbos on your list! Who-hoo! Nifty "out-there choice"! I remember being a kid and reading all the genre books and magazines and seeing the same four or so photos of Soledad Miranda from the movie, which, of course, never played at all in the U.S. And then, we got the new century, and now I am the proud owner of the DVD! When I hunted for these grail quests for years, and they finally turned up, more often, I was so disappointed because they were less than what my mind's eye imagined. Not so for Vampyros folks!

I may be the only Hammer fan who doesn't really appreciate Twins. It's okay, but so far from The Vampire Lovers... Now Hands is a different story. It's terrific.

I really like Twins, but it does come around the bottom of the Hammer vamp films for me. But there's only one I don't like actually, Dracula A.D 1972, but I can never leave it out when I'm having a Hammer Dracula marathon

I agree with you on A.D. 1972. I am not a particular fan of The Satanic Rites of Dracula either, though the guys get plus points for trying something different. But I do think that Scars of Dracula, despite the threadbare production, isn't actually as bad as folks think. (Most hate the companion piece, Horror of Frankenstein, too, but I really like that one.)

I hear you and agree with you. Evil is just OK. It has a kind of a cookie-cutter, "programmer" feel, not terrible, just not terribly exciting or different. I know most folks like Revenge of Frankenstein the best, but I am very fond of Frankenstein Created Woman. It's just so well written and haunting. It has stayed with me for years as unforgettable, particularly the scenes where Susan Denberg takes out each of the bad guys (She's really beautiful, yet scary.) And I love the scene where Peter Cushng testifies at trial that he'd be a "doctor of witchcraft" if they gave out that degree. Just a splendid, beautiful horror film!

Ahh, Created Woman is the one I have the fondest memories of cos the BBC put that one on so much when I was a kid My top 3 tho would have to be Curse of, Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed and Revenge. Making Peter a rapist in Must be Destroyed was just so wrong lol

I adored both Horror of Dracula and Dracula Prince of Darkness since 93 when i saw them on TBS at 12. I became a fan of Hammer.
