The Gorgon (1964)

Solid mid-60s effort from Hammer is one of their best standalone horror films.

Night of the Big Heat (1967)

Can an alien invasion be stopped by the legendary pairing of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee?

The Mummy (1959)

The last of Hammer's initial "big three" horrors isn't as strong as the other two but is still a damned fine example of British horror.

House of the Long Shadows (1983)

The Expendables of horror, this well-intentioned horror film unites four legendary horror stars on-screen together for the first time.

Arabian Adventure (1979)

Feeble fantasy from Amicus with flying carpets, evil genies and a load of British actors pretending to be Arabian.

The Curse of the Crimson Altar (1968)

Boris Karloff. Christopher Lee. A witch looking for revenge on the descendant of the man who killed her. What could go wrong?

To the Devil a Daughter (1976)

Hammer's final theatrical horror film in it's original production run is its most shocking and depraved outing yet!

Scream and Scream Again (1970)

Cushing. Lee. Price. All together in the same film for the first time? You can't go wrong, can you?

Tale of the Mummy (1998)

Flawed if not entirely watchable mummy flick which got massively overshadowed by Brendan Fraser's big budget extravaganza.
