#MONSTERMONDAY:
Today our candidate for MM is Billali (Christopher Lee), from Hammer's
adventure film She 1965, Ayesha's fanatical priest (Ursula Andress), who
wants immortality for himself, believing it is his due after his years
of selfless service.
#MONSTERMONDAY: Billai (Christopher Lee) attempts to enter the blue flames himself and become immortal from Hammer's She (1965)
Principal photography of She commenced in southern Israel's Negev
Desert on 24 August 1964, with scenes also shot at MGM's Elstree Studios
in London when Hammer's Bray Studios proved to be too small for the project. It was the most expensive film Hammer had made up until that time, but
upon release it was a hit both in North America and in Europe. Somewhat
different to the Gothic horrors Hammer were producing at the time, over
the years it has mixed reviews from fans. Are you a fan of the film?
