I'm about to embark on a massive Hammer spree spread over the next few weeks....
Started off with THE WITCHES (1966) last night, one of my most-watched hammer's. As TheHamish says, it must have been an influence on the wickerman and later pagan / 'witchy' films. Love Joan Fontaine in it, she along with Deborah Kerr are easily my favourite of the classic hollywood leading ladies and its great to see her in a hammer horror, just as it was great to see Deborah Kerr the classic THE INNOCENTS (1961) and the less well known (but extremely good) hammer-like horror EYE OF THE DEVIL (1966). Perhaps they have both done other horror films I'm not aware of ??
Going to watch the Dracula's in chronological order starting tonight I think.
What's everyone's most-watched Hammer then? I think mine must be PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES, followed closely by both THE WITCHES, NIGHT CREATURES (CAPTAIN CLEGG) and HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.
