In the early 70s Hammer tried to breathe new life into their gothic horror cycle with some fascinating films that broke free of the rigid Hammer formula. Countess Dracula (1971) is one of their most successful efforts. Ingrid Pitt is terrific.

Lust for a Vampire (1971). Possibly excepting Dracula AD 1972 this must surely be the most reviled of all Hammer’s movies.

Its problem is that it's sleazy and trashy but probably needed more sleaze and more trashiness. But it's still good fun.

Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense (1984), the anthology TV series that was Hammer's last gasp. It's much better than its reputation suggests. In fact it's excellent.

An extremely varied mix of supernatural horror, thriller, spookiness and weirdness.

The German DVD set includes all thirteen episodes in English.

The Horror of Fang Rock needs more love: effectively a but in a lighthouse on a fogbound island, capturing a lovely vibe in a Victorian Gothic setting. What's not to love?

Since retiring from MSM I have written for magazines and webzines, some of which had had to close due to prevailing economic circumstances.

I retain the copyright and will republish some of my favourites. This was written for Horrified Magazine but never published.

The man in the middle of this picture is George Mossman, who was the coachman in most Hammer horrors. The Mossman family handled virtually all Hammer's horse and carriage work.

Dracula Prince of Darkness (1966), first Hammer horror film to suggest that vampirism is all about awakening female sexuality.

That's not to say the movie is in favour of female sexuality. The fact that it clearly made the director uncomfortable is what makes it such an interesting movie.

Includes a horrifying staking scene.

Now watching: I enjoy this quirky take on Priestley's Benighted more than the 1932 version, though it's more like Kind Hearts and Coronets than the supposed source material.

Hammer's traditional home ar Oakley Court provides the interiors and exteriors of Femm Hall and the cross country drive courtesy of Chobham Common.

Any fans of The Devil Rides Out (1968)? It’s an Occult thriller starring Christopher Lee and Charles Gray, made by Hammer Horror. Known as The Devil’s Bride in the U.S. - and it inspired our track Goat of Mendes on the album Casebook. Hope you enjoy this TikTok which contains the trailer for the movie. vm.tiktok.com/ZMFgDCHLo/

Peter Sasdy’s Countess Dracula (1971), based on the infamous real-life Hungarian Countess Erzsébet Báthory, believed to be the most horrific female serial killer in history.

One of Hammer's most successful attempts to breathe new life into their gothic horror output.

Ingrid Pitt is suitably gorgeous and evil.
