Hammer on DVD/BD Thread

[mark meakin]

I have to admit I had trouble finding the UK release of Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires in my local shops.However I picked it up from Britannia Music cheaply before they went under (also incidentally taking DD Video down with them & screwing up the Sony Hammer deal in the process)I also prior to joining Amazon had trouble finding Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb & Die Die My Darling (aka Fanatic) in shops locally as the ones near me do not have a great deal of back catalogue titles preferring to concentrate on the big blockbuster releases sadly.

Trago Mills in Liskeard (not far from me) have plenty of them for ?5.

Anyway,I did manage to pick up Die Die my Darling,that's a Hammer I believe....anyone seen it without giving too much away?

What's everyone's favourite Hammer film by the way?

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Fancy a poll or 2?

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

A lot of hammer titles on them polls....tough decision....personal faves not on the polls include Dracula Has Risen From the Grave....probably shit myself when I was a nipper when the bloke couldn't kill Drac with the stake.....Frankenstein and The Monster from Hell is another favourite...old Dave Prowse's monster is a cracker,and with maybe the exception of FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED,is the I think the nastiest of the Hammer Frankensteins.....what does everyone else think?......
What's your fave Hammer film not listed on the polls?

Twins Of Evil (outstanding music & Cushing performance) and Demons Of The Mind (nastier and sleazier than usual for Hammer).

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Yeah Twins of Evil was also great,Demons,....I might have to give another go....
As mentioned elsewhere,VAMPIRE CIRCUS is also an entertaining little number,didn't really like Hands of the Ripper though....

I would say overall Hands Of The Ripper (1971) is my very favourite followed closely by The Brides Of Dracula.

I like Die Die My Darling a great deal.Stephanie Powers is very good as is Tallulah Bankhead.Quite a tense film in parts and also actually funny in some earlier scenes (intentionally).
