Britain’s Hammer Films studio had its first hits in 1956 with a new series of horror films that revived classic Hollywood monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy and the Werewolf. Low production budgets and heavy promotion made its films a financial success, as did respected actors like Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing and sex goddesses like Ursula Andress and Raquel Welch—all of whom give interviews here—along with scores of other pivotal players in Hammer’s rise to infamy. Directed by Ted Newson. 1994/color/100 min/NR/fullscreen & widescreen.
