The Devil's Men (1976)
Devil worshippers led by Peter Cushing are abducting tourists and only Donald Pleasance can stop them.
Sep 1, 2024
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)
One of the best films Hammer ever made, this is the Anglo-horror cycle at its bleakest and finest.
Sep 1, 2024
The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)
Widely considered one of the better films in the Hammer catalogue, this sequel sees the improbable return of Cushing's Frankenstein.
May 31, 2024
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?
Nov 3, 2023
Legend of the Werewolf (1975)
Horror had moved on by 1975. Tyburn Film Productions with Legend of the Werewolf had not and were still stuck in the early 60s.
Nov 3, 2023
The Ghoul (1975)
Late lacklustre British horror offering which was about twenty years too late in terms of what the genre had transformed into by this point.
Oct 1, 2023
The Flesh & The Fiends (1960)
Fantastically underrated retelling of the Burke and Hare murders with star turns from Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance.
Aug 21, 2023
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.
