Impossible not to laugh along with Peter and Chris larking around during the ‘Mr Cushing and Mr Lee’ special feature. Bloody delightful! Mad wit and such warmth. Made ever more moving due to it being the final time the two would meet before Cushing’s passing. WHAT a team they made 🖤

Being a fan of Hammer Films, Christopher Lee and Dracula, I decided to make myself a little something inspired by Dracula A.D. 1972, my favorite film starring Lee as the immortal count. Not quite movie accurate, but close enough.

Braved a night out on a school night and to the 4K premiere of The Curse Of Frankenstein in London. It was *chef’s kiss* A big shout out to the two lovely chaps who kept my daughter and I company while waiting for the doors to open. Wonderful to chat classic films while out in the wild.

Live at the premiere of Hammer’s glorious restoration of The Curse of Frankenstein in Leicester Square! @jamescswanton.bsky.social was superb as the creature haunting the foyer, and 90 year old actor Melvyn Hayes (who portrayed young Frankenstein) stole the show with his humour and wit! 🖤

The Devil Rides Out (1968) – Review We all know the deal with a Hammer horror movie by now, right? More often than not it's an adaption/sequel of an existing property such as Dracula or Frankenstein that sees either Peter Cushing and/or Christopher Lee either seek to vanquish evil from a period…

Hammer’s The Vampire Lovers, starring the iconic Ingrid Pitt as the bloodthirsty yet tragic Carmilla/Mircalla Karnstein, premiered in London on this day in 1970 🖤
