The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959)

  Detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant, Doctor Watson, are assigned to a peculiar case ; a nobleman's life is threatened when he visits a property which will soon be inherited by him. The actual threat is an old legend that has a wild dog from hell roaming the grounds and killing all members of the Baskerville family...
  Hammer Films' prolific studios were suppliers of quality horror movies such as this throughout the 50's and the 60's. In this movie, the famous book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is brought to life. Terence Fisher goes behind the wheel once again and brings us a pure vintage and classy mystery film that is hard not to like. In my humble opinion, it is unfortunate that horror films evolved into something so much different than these productions. I miss the storytelling and the visual effects and I miss getting scared by something other than just sudden sound effects!
  The combination of actors in this film couldn't fail even if they wanted to. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee have appeared in so many Hammer films together that it is almost impossible to see one and not think of the other. While they usually play rivaling characters, here Cushing is actually helping Lee stay alive and intact. André Morell follows and makes sure every clue is collected and Marla Landi is the mandatory female character in the story. And guess what; she is a tricker!
Must watch this : on a windy night. Turn off any lights in your house and light up a candle. Cook up a mushroom velvet soup and enjoy this fucker with a side drink of brandy.

The Evil of Frankenstein (1964)

  Totally broke, Dr.Frankenstein returns to Karlstaad and starts his experiments once again in his family castle. He requires the assistance of a hypnotist called Zoltan in order to reanimate the creature, but Zoltan has other plans for it. He orders it to wreak havoc in town for his own profit and Frankenstein has to stop them both...
  Freddie Francis' first attempt at directing seems to have paid off just fine. Recreating and enhancing the dark persona of Dr.Frankenstein, Francis puts his own touch to the film legend. All the gothic and the Sci-Fi elements are there but this time we get an extra dosage of mysticism and parapsychology which definitely makes the film gloomier and more dangerous. A fine film with a smooth progress that doesn't let you get bored.
  Peter Cushing once again as Dr.Frankenstein and this time he sees his creations being abused by some other malevolent personality besides him. His arch enemy, Peter Woodthorpe blends in effortlessly in the film's mood. Katy Wild as the beggar girl and Sandor Elès as Frankenstein's assistant complete the main cast of this mesmerizing flick!
Must watch this : on a hot summer evening with a plate full of fish and chips. I don't know why but it seems like a good combination with this film.

Horror Of Dracula (1958) a.k.a Dracula

  After Jonathan Harker's failed attempt to murder Dracula in his castle, he flees to a nearby town and starts preying on Harker's fiancée. Doctor Van Helsing joins the fight against Dracula and he seems to be the only one able to protect her and strike a definitive blow to the vampire's heart...
  Classic Hammer Productions director Terence Fisher brings one of the most classic and most complete films in the cinema legend of Dracula.Back then, Hammer Films weren't yet evolved in what we all came to love and that is obvious in the settings and the mood of the film. You can witness the slow transformation, the turning into a very good production and you can see that this movie still didn't have those. But that doesn't mean that this film is not as good as the others. On the other hand, this film is the father!
  A long and fruitful legendary friendship and co-operation started with this film as this was the first time Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing met as arch enemies (in The Curse of Frankenstein they weren't sworn enemies). Paying total respect to Bram Stoker's work, the two actors together with the rest of the cast (Melissa Stribling, Michael Gough, Carol Marsh etc) present a fine work of professionalism and passion for the Gothic horror!
Must watch this : for some reason this movie goes well with a plateful of the good ol' goulash, a pint of smooth Indian Pale Ale and a pipe filled with  fine tobacco! Enjoy alone on a random night and make the night your faithful bitch!

The Vampire Lovers (1970)

  A countess leaves her daughter, Marcilla, with General von Spielsdorf so that she can go away and look after her sick friend. During Marcilla's stay in the Spieldorf house, their daughter gets suspiciously sick and and weak. When Marcilla goes to stay at another house, the same situation occurs there too. Legends and rumors start to spread about an old vampire family...
  Directed by the legendary Roy Ward Baker, this flick is one of the most atmospheric and gothic Hammer films. As always, amazing settings and story that bind together by some glorious photography and even more stunning performances. The overall mood is something like the feeling of being alone in the woods with the first cold autumn breeze blowing and you get the feeling that someone is after you! This movie is that good!
  Peter Cushing as always is the card that guarantees a good Hammer Film production. Kate O' Mara and Madeline Smith make the vampire world a better place with the classy beauty and Ingrid Pitt needs an collection of poems in her name to describe and glorify her venomous seductive stare! You can't miss it if you are a fan of true Gothic horror or at least a fan of vampire horror!
Must watch this : on the coldest night of October when the wind is blowing satisfyingly cold and the humidity is at right level! Set the mood with some red candles and red wine, invite a girl friend over and have a blood orgy after the film with this unholy cup of blood flowing!

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein is now in ail waiting his conviction and confesses his lifetime experiences to a priest. We learn about his early days and how he was tutored by Paul Krempe and later became his assistant and colleague. He explains his first attempts to bring to life a dead dog and finally how he managed to bring his monster to life and come at knives with Paul Krempe.
  The first film in the long film story of Frankenstein and what a way to start it! Terence Fischer could not be absent from the director's seat! Directing leaves a great space to the characters to express their talents and evolve their characters grim psychosynthesis. This movie delves deeper into the psychological cosmos of Dr. Frankenstein rather his creation.
  Peter Cushing as Frankenstein (who else? ), Christopher Lee as the creature, Robert Urquhart as  Dr. Krempe and Hazel Court as Elizabeth, Frankenstein's fling thing. A classic British cast worthy of its name and fame, all these actors do more than a great job here. It is like you are reading an old and dusty book in a hut in the woods by the fireplace and the writing is so vivid that you are actually in the book! This movie is that good.
Must watch this : as I set the mood with fireplaces and everything , I should keep it. Watch this on the windiest night of February, by the fireplace with a selection of cheese and sausages. Let the wind be a reminder of all the foul things that linger in the dark outside...

The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)

  Baron Victor Frankenstein escapes his execution by having a priest beheaded and buried in his place. He runs to Germany where he goes by his new alias, Dr. Stein. He creates his new profile by working at a pauper's hospital but secretly he collects dead body parts in order to restart his wicked experiments...
  Another fine addition to the ever great legend of Frankenstein. Directed by none other than Terence Fischer, this film has every Hammer element we love to the max ; secret labs with oozing smoke, foggy and gloomy places and classic performances!
  Peter Cushing, once again, goes all the way in portraying the character of Dr. Frankenstein. He has achieved the unachievable by actually becoming his role. You can't tell his real intentions or whether he is good or bad. congrats to Francis Matthews as well, as his young and naive doctor accomplice.
Must watch this :  on a day with deep fog and ominous black clouds. Make yourself a cappuccino and let the film suck you into its atmosphere.

Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

  Baron Frankenstein is back on his usual track. This time he is hiding his true identity and with the forced help of young doctor Karl and his fiancée Anna he wants to fulfill his new plans ; to perform the first brain transplantation surgery eve. He kidnaps deranged Dr. Brandt for his brain but not everything goes as planned...
  Loosely based on the original Frankenstein story, this film can stand on its own as a variation of the series, with an interesting plot and everything. Terence Fisher on the wheel (who else would it be?) and he sure is one hell of a "driver"! Unbeatable Hammer Productions sets and mood, British finesse and a horror legend that refuses to die! A fine film for every devoted horror fan.
  Peter Cushing (no need for introductions) goes beyond the usual evil. He kidnaps, schemes, hold hostages and even rapes (rumor has it that he apologized to his colleague after the scene) all in the favor of science. Simon Ward and Veronica Carlson (you guessed it! she gets the rape) are the unlucky young couple in love that happens to be in his way. True spiraling horror!
Must watch this : with a cappuccino and chocolate cake on a rainy November afternoon. After the film, go out for a stroll in the rain. I don't know why but it always sounds like a good idea after  horror film!

The Brides of Dracula (1960)

  Van Helsing, the known vampire hunter, returns to Transylvania in order to save the day once again. A young and innocent teacher on her way to her new position, sets free the horrors of the vampires by mistake. A seemingly easy task for Van Helsing, but will he make it?
  Hammer Films and quality horror stories go together like cocaine and waffles. Nothing can go wrong with Terence Fisher on the wheel, Price in the lead and a couple of classy female characters! The Gothic-Baroque vibe is intense, the dialogues are strong and sophisticated, the characters well-developed and the story imaginative and horrifying. And just for the thrill, you also get some young, sophisticated ladies to fill up the secondary roles.
  Peter Cushing, David Peel, Martita Hunt, Freda Jackson, Yvonne Monlaur and all the rest. All actors of a time long gone, actors of a different breed and culture for whom a role was their life. I can't write too much or I risk ruining their significance. Just watch the film and judge for yourself.
Must watch this : after a trip to Central Europe, maybe Czech Republic. Get all the Gothic and Baroque atmosphere you can, mix with memories of people and places from this trip and blend with a high-potent well-prepared glass of absinthe.

The Skull (1965)

  A collector of historic and occult antiquities gets hold of a human skull from his usual provider that is supposed to have belonged to the notorious Marquis De Sade. Soon, the collector finds that the skull is possessed by an evil spirit that turns him into a maniac killer!
  Long live the British classy horror story mood! It may seem like one of the numerous horror films by legendary by Hammer Films but it is actually the work of Amicus Productions, another British company dealing with the horror genre. Story by well-known Robert Bloch and directed under the guidance of director Freddie Francis, this film perfectly adds to the majesty of British horror in its own way.
  Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing ! There has never been a better duo in the history of film (personal opinion). One completes and competes the other in almost every film they have starred in. It is almost as one gives reason to the other to exist. Like good and evil, yin and yang, love and hate, they would not exist without each other! See this not only for their performance ( and the other actors' too) but also for these incredible British sets ; libraries, English foggy and gloomy weather, gentlemen of another age and horror from beyond this world!
Must watch this : on a cold November night, with a cup of premium Earl Grey,by the fireplace (or under your blankets is you don't have one) and your favorite cuddling person.
