	Hammer Horror
		Hammer Studios did several science fiction films, but "Quatermass and the Pit" is one of the best and one film that all science fiction as well as Hammer fans should add to their list of "must-see" films.
		At the time, in part due to fears that the film's release may be jeopardized because of content, Hammer felt it necessary to submit their shooting scripts to the BBFC for final approval.
		So Hammer decided to team this new fade with the bread and butter of their success, "Dracula" in an attempt to save a dying studio.

		These films were hugely successful and established Hammer as a major force in horror; each film was increasingly successful at the box-office and, at the same time, each one generated an enormous amount of critical condemnation, which, as it always does, simply generated ever-greater successes.
		Hammer's other major innovation, beyond colour, was in creating a scientist with none of the doubts that plagued previous portrayals of Frankenstein.
		Hammer, however, had to act fast to take advantage of its newfound fame, financial wealth and notoriety and the next adaptation would be Dracula.

		In recent years a raft of horror titles have stormed the US box office and enjoyed success further afield, including Asian adaptations The Ring and The Grudge, remakes of classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Saw, a low-budget nail-biter that came from out of nowhere to become a critical and commercial hit.
		Horror these days is limited to jokey projects, a la Scream, and almost always focus on kids.
		A new Hammer film wouldn't have the same style and people and would be of interest as a curiosity, but not something sustainable.

	Biography for Christopher Lee (I) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		By the mid-1970s, Lee was tiring of his horror image and tried to widen his appeal by participating in several mainstream films, such as The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970), The Three Musketeers (1973), The Four Musketeers (1974), and the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun (1974).
		However, it was when playing the monster in the Hammer film, The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) that proved to be a blessing in disguise, since the movie did successfully, leading to him being signed on for future roles in Hammer Films Productions.
		Lee and Cushing often than not played contrasting roles in Hammer films, where Cushing was the protagonist and Lee the villain, whether it be Van Helsing and Dracula respectively in Dracula (1958), or John Banning and Kharis the Mummy respectively in The Mummy (1959).

		He might be best known as the young Victor Frankenstein in Hammer's Horror of Frankenstein, in which he campily portrayed the obsessed doctor with all the venom and vice and coxcombry he could muster.
		He seemed poised on the edge of gothic horror stardom, and was groomed for replacing the great Lee and Cushing, but Hammer's unfortunate demise was close at hand.
		With many of his starring Hammer roles now being released on DVD, like his unforgettable and chilling performance in "Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde", I hope Ralph Bates finally takes his place deservedly as a glittering jewel in the crown of male Hammer Horror Stars.

		Hammer made changes in their film like changing the name of Dr. Syn to Dr. Blyss.
		Hammer, though a worldwide and legendary name in horror, is somewhat of an acquired taste among modern genre fans.

		While I was growing up Hammer horror was a staple diet - Dracula, Frankenstein and Quatermass movies galore, Rasputin: The Mad Monk, She, Mark of the Devil, Kronos and The Devil rides out to name but a few that spring to mind, they were fantastic.
		They are also keen to play off the recent success of horror movies and remakes, which have brought higher than expected box office figures (for that read profit) than expected.
		Posted by: wampachow at January 14, 2005 05:27 PM I'm not terribly familiar with the Hammer oeuvre, but the Quatermass films, The Curse of Frankenstein and The Horror of Dracula are essential viewing in my opinion.
