Hammer is best known for their horror, but also spread out into other genres such as pirate films, crime films, adventure fantasy films and psychological suspense films referred to as “Mini Hitchcock’s”.
I’ve come to find out about more of them as I began delving into my book “Twice the thrills! Twice the Chills! Horror And Science Fiction double features from 1955-1974”. Of which Hammer films often packaged their films as double features, either with their own creations or with other films.
Sad to say, I’ve not had the chance to watch any yet. But I plan on it soon. My question then is this:
What Hammer films, other then the obvious Dracula, Frankenstein and Mummy reboots as well as the many sequels for them they did*, should I focus on?
*Frankenstein has 6 sequels, Dracula 7/8 depending on sources#, and The Mummy has 3.
# there is some debate about whether The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires should be considered a part of the series.
