what?! No updates since Wednesday? Nahh, that can't be right, can it? Ok, yeah, due to a number of circumstances, I've fallen a bit behind in posting... but, a triple feature now, a double feature later this afternoon, then back on schedule tomorrow, and we should be caught up, right? At least on the trailers... of course, then we've got a whole bunch of other stuff that's run across the desk here, but... well, let's get on with this part, at least...
So last time we looked at Hammer's entry into the horror field with The Curse of Frankenstein. No, it wasn't really the first horror film that Hammer studios made, but it's the first one that we really think of as a true "Hammer Horror". And it was merely the beginning of many more to come. Today we look at the three movies that rounded out Hammer's cseries of remakes (or reaeely, to use today's terminology, re-imaginings) of the 1930's Universal monster movies. First up, here's the trailer for Hammer's direct follow-up, The Horror of Daracula, or as it was known in the states, simply Dracula.
Then, the next year, Hammer followed on their success with Christopher Lee appearing this time as The Mummy.
Finally, in 1961, Hammer decided to reuse some already standing sets to send an unwary Oliver Reed to 18th Century Spain where he unfortunately contracted The Curse of the Werewolf...
Ok, no bonuses this time around, but check back later as we head into the castle...
