Classic Horror Movies

In 1957, Hammer breathed new life into the horror classics — Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, The Wolf Man — that Universal Studios had mined so successfully in the thirties and forties, and thus began a new era of Gothic cinema in blood-curdling colour. These titles comprise the best of both those generations of gore.
