Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb: (1964) Based, for the most part, on the real-life story of the excavation of King Tut's tomb. After the tomb of Ra is excavated by a renown British archaeologist and the American backer decides he's going to do a road show of the treasures. This naturally is a major sacrilege and the mummy wreaks his vengeance. Good Hammer vehicle, that oddly lacked any regulars except Michael Ripper as, err, "Achmed" amusingly enough. [B]
	Devil Ship Pirates: (1964) Widescreen letterboxed print of this rare Hammer swashbuckler starring Christopher Lee as the ruthless captain of the pirate ship Diablo who, after breaking away from the Spanish Armada, runs aground by a small English town, who doesn't know that the Spaniards have lost the war, and takes them hostage. Good fun with a slew of Hammer regulars including Andrew Keir and Michael Ripper (name a Hammer flick he's not in). [B]
	Dracula 72 A.D.: (1972) Uncut print of this underrated (if occasionally campy) Hammer updating of the Dracula mythos. When a group of hippies decide that summoning an evil entity via a blood ritual might be a cool way to get some kicks, they get a bit more than expected. After a rash of vampiric murders, the last male descendant of Van Helsing (who bears a remarkable resemblance to all of the other incarnations) sets out to put an end to the sucker. With Peter Cushing and Chris Lee, of course. In English with Japanese subtitles.
	Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell: (1974) Uncut, import print of this rather gory Hammer outing once again starring Peter Cushing as the Baron Frankenstein. Now working in an institute for the criminally insane, he creates a hulking brute out of the inmates spare parts. This print contains all scenes missing from the US and other versions including the oft talked about scene in which the Baron clamps an artery with his teeth. Great stuff. Somewhat dark and slightly grainy print. In English with Japanese subtitles. [B]
	Hammer - The Studio that Dripped Blood: (1987) Great documentary on the House of Hammer, Britain's most prolific, and erratic, studio that helped completely revise horror cinema in the late '50s and early '60s. Includes plenty of interviews with directors (like Don Sharp), actors (like Chris Lee) and others. Very cool stuff. Followed by Peter Cushing, One Way Ticket to Hollywood, an excellent in-depth interview/documentary on Cushing, his life, his career (everything from pre-Hammer, right down to Star Wars and Top Secret!. Very interesting and entertaining. Fair to good quality.
	Moon Zero Two: (1969) Very rare and surprisingly entertaining Hammer sci-fi outing about a former interplanetary explorer turned space scavenger who gets hooked up with a honey trying to find her brother who was working a mining claim on the mountains of the moon. After being hired to do a rather illegal job for a mega-rich industrialist, he finds that the two jobs are connected and the industrialist murdered the girl's brother to get his mining plot. Fun '60s kitsch complete with go-go dancers in ridiculous cowboy outfits in a space saloon, wonderfully cheesy miniatures, a theme song that'll get stuck in your head for days and lots of amusing characters including Michael Ripper in a spectacular plaid vinyl suit. Never released to video anywhere, this is from a rare UK cable broadcast and looks surprisingly good, though the sound is a bit low.
	The Stranglers of Bombay: (1959) Another of Hammer's slightly racist British Empire vs. the Native Criminals (see also Terror of the Tongs) directed by Terence Fisher. This time out, the infamous cult of assassins, the Thugees, are ambushing the trading caravans and trying to destroy all that is honkey. Naturally the Imperials won't stand for this sort of nonsense and take after the Stranglers of Bombay. Good stuff for the period. In B&W in slightly less than perfect quality. [B]
	The Sword of Sherwood Forest: (1960) Entertaining "further adventures of Robin Hood" outing from Hammer, directed by Terence Fisher and starring Richard Greene, Peter Cushing, Oliver Reed and even Desmond Llewelyn (three years before becoming "Q" in the James Bond films). While chasing after Maid Marion, Robin Hood (Greene) stumbles onto a plot to kill the Chancellor of England. The Sheriff of Nottingham (Cushing) after having his plans to seize some strategic land thwarted by The Chancellor, he allies with a nobleman who is hungry for power and it's up to Robin to stop them. [B]
	The Terror of the Tongs: (1960) Christopher Lee stars as the Godfather of the Tongs in this Hammer far-East thriller about the Red Dragon Society, a Tong organization that is terrorizing the local populace. Unfortunately (for them), they make the big mistake of fuckin' with a British ship-captain who squares his jaw and sets out to right wrongs with a stiff upper-lip (the wrong that he is avenging surprised the hell out of me, they wouldn't let that happen in a US film, particularly at that time). Burt Kwok ("not now Kato!") has a small role as the instigator of the chain of events. From US satellite broadcast. [B]
	Twins of Evil: (1971) A.k.a. Twins of Dracula. We have had a lot of people ask for this so here it is. Beautiful remastered print of this outstanding Hammer Karnstein vampire outing starring Peter Cushing, David Warbeck, Dennis Price, Damien Thomas and the Collinson twins… mmmmmm… Collinson… twins… Erm, where was I? Cushing plays a real sumbitch here as the head Witchfinder in a small town. He roots out evil and the population dwindles. When his twin nieces come to town and fall under the spell of the vampiric Count Karnstein, the Witchfinder finds his nerve failing. Excellently acted, superbly photographed and positively oozing with atmosphere, if you can forgive the thin plot, this is one of Hammers finest vampire films. [B]
	Vampire Circus: (1971) Uncut print of this popular Hammer outing about a vampire Count who, after being "killed" by the villagers, vows to get revenge. Years later his followers (disguised as a wandering circus troupe) revive him and wreak bloody havoc on the local populous. This version contains all of the gore and nudity cut from the US release.
