#HAMMERFILMSSATURDAY : HAMMER'S ARCH VAMPIRE DRACULA

#HAMMERFILMSATURDAY: Few films from the Hammer film catalogue can have made such an impression as the first two films that both Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee made for the company in 1957 and 58.... The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula / Horror of Dracula. The second really did kick start Lee's career and both set Peter Cushing in a direction that he would never stray very far from for the rest of his career. 

In the segment above from Don Fearney's 'Legend of Hammer Vampires', Edward De Souza tells the story of just how Hammer, Terence Fisher, Cushing and Lee presented the Count and Van Helsing to a new audience. An audience that still shrieks with horror and glee today 🙂 Is this film your favorite of the Hammer / Dracula series?

#HAMMERFILMSSATURDAY: Above Johnny Alucard (Christopher Neame) watching as Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) emerges from the smoke from Hammer's Dracula AD 1972 : Requested by Chris Norman.

EXCLUSIVE PEEP : AMICUS: THE VAULT OF HORROR HARDBACK : A TRUE TREASURE

Amicus : The Vault Of Horror by Donald Fearney:

I love pictorial hardbacks...and this one is exceptional. Here we have a special exclusive peep of a book that is so limited... the run is in SINGLE figures! Rare photographs, full page colour pics, art designs by  Amicus set designers, all lovingly printed in hi res on double heavy quality paper... each of the Amicus fantasy genre productions is represented by it's promotional cinema poster and a raft of full colour and black and white key book stills and contact print rarities. If you are an Amicus fan, and have been waiting for the book that does their films justice...wait no longer, you'll be extremely happy with this impressive 102 paged hardback treasure!

The book is NOT FOR SALE, it can only be WON! The book is part of the promotion rumble behind a very exciting documentary on Amicus films, that Donald Fearney is currently working on, and will be on sale for a limited time early next year. There will only be 300 dvd's produced of the documentary, 'Amicus: The Vault Of Horror'.

Along with the dvd there is also a very nice line in extras and gifts, that are included in 'some' of the dvd's packaging. Think, Golden Ticket and Wonka Bar..and you'll get the idea. Free with ALL 300 dvd's is a packet of suspect looking seeds..these were part of a promotional campaign for Amicus films 'Torture Garden' back in 1967. In SEVENTY EIGHT dvd cases the is one original Waddington's tarot card, just like the cards in the  pack used by Peter Cushing in Amicus films, 'Dr Terror's House of Horrors', each autographed by several actors and technicians who worked for Amicus. Just TWO dvd cases contain a 'GOLDEN TICKET' which entitles the winner to one copy of the book, 'Amicus: The Vault Of Horror'. And finally...   Just ONE dvd also contains another ticket that entitles the winner to the prize of a genuine bankers cheque, signed by Peter Cushing, from his business bank account account, Peter Cushing LTD.  We'll keep you posted of release dates and promotional video ads. - Marcus Brooks
