Mention the name HAMMER FILMS and immediately images of gothic horror leap into your mind. Van Helsing staking another immortal vampire into the abyss. Frankenstein breathing life into the Undead. From 1957 to 1975, no other movie studio matched to shear horror as HAMMER did. These pages are dedicated to those films and the people who made them.
This site is currently undergoing major upgrades. If you been here before you'll find a lot of new additions, more information and a totally new look. If you haven't been here before-enjoy! This site is virtually being upgraded daily. I am setting a goal of having all the information compiled and enter by the end of September. I am open to any suggestions so feel free to write me at using the email link at the bottom of this page.
