Monster from Hell and Revenge are probably my favourites too. The worst? Definitely Horror of Frankenstein. A poor 'remake' of Curse with added comedy elements, which just don't work.

....And Kate O'Mara's magnificent cleavage which definitely does work.

Even though Ralph Bates was great in other Hammer outings:No Cushing=no Hammer Frankenstein.

I'm sure there is some law of gravity being broken here...

Studio Canal are finally releasing another Hammer title...

StudioCanal have confirmed that they will release on Blu-ray Don Chaffey's film One Million Years B.C. (1966), starring Raquel Welch, John Richardson, Percy Herbert, Robert Brown, and Martine Beswick. The release will be available for purchase on June 13.

Synopsis: In this vivid view of prehistoric life, a man from the mean-spirited Rock People (John Richardson) is banished from his home, but soon finds himself living among the kind, gentle Shell People. There, he falls in love with one of their tribeswomen, played by bikini-clad Raquel Welch, in the role that made her a major star. The two decide to strike out on their own, living by their wits in a deadly land of treacherous beasts and unknown dangers - all leading to a thrilling climax by the edge of an angry volcano. With stunning primeval imagery created by pioneering special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen, One Million Years B.C. is a true science fiction classic.

I've had this box set for years, and I've not watched a single disc from it in all of that time



Yesterday I picked it up and had a look through it and I'd forgotten about all the good films in it;

'She' (1965), 'The Nanny' (1965), 'One Million Years BC' (1966), 'The Plague of the Zombies' (1966), 'The Witches' (1966), 'Rasputin the Mad Monk' (1966), 'The Reptile (1966), 'Dracula Prince of Darkness' (1966), 'Quatermass and the Pit' (1967), 'Prehistoric Women' (1967), 'The Viking Queen' (1967), 'Frankenstein Created Woman' (1967), 'The Vengeance of She' (1968), 'The Devil Rides Out' (1968), 'The Horror of Frankenstein' (1970), 'Scars of Dracula' (1970), 'To the Devil a Daughter' (1976), 'Blood from the Mummy's Tomb' (1971), 'Demons of the Mind' (1972), 'Fear in the Night' (1972) and 'Straight on Till Morning' (1972).

Should I just start from disc 1 and go through until I reach the end or do you all think there is a better, or more interesting way to go about it. I have to admit I have only seen probably about half of these.

I think I watched them one 'book' at a time, but it might be better to do it thematically (fantasy, horror, drama, thriller etc.), or just watch whatever sort of film suits your mood at the time.

I felt inclined last night to spend April watching them so I might just go through in order Although this means starting with She which I've never seen before.
