Favorite Hammer Film
This is easily mine; The intricate story line, score, rich sets and perfect teaming of Cushing and Lee put it over the top. Any other fans?

shareI don't think this was made by Hammer, but I know what you're saying. It's from that "golden time" and it has Lee & Cushing in it. I consider this as my favorite as well, though sentimental fondness may be a lot of the reason because I have such clear "70's memories" of seeing it in the theater in my early teens. Though my mind may be playing tricks: I am certain this was a double-feature in the NYC metro area with Golden Voyage of Sinbad, yet according to the IMDB release dates, these two films were released in the USA over a year apart.
Well, regardless of how time plays tricks, Cushing and Lee bowled me over in that theater and planted enough of a seed so that 30 years later it would make me grab up most of their films on DVD. I recently picked up Hound of the Baskervilles and I'm patiently waiting for Dr. Terror's House of Horrors for Region 1.
This is not a Hammer film. It was made by a rival British company. Yet the presence of Lee and Cushing, and a director who directed quite a few Hammer films, definitely gives the feel of Hammer.
shareI spotted some re-decorated sets that Hammer frequented. That gives it a very Hammer feel as well. Cushing's foyer as Hildern is the same as when he played Frankenstein in 1957. And the pub seems to be the same one from "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave" re-dressed.

mine too. also known as the devil's bride when released in the US cause the devil rides out they say sounded too much like a western!
shareThis NOT a Hammer film
but it is Great When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
I was suprised to see my thread still standing after three years. "The Creeping Flesh" indeed is not a Hammer film, but a Columbia/World Film Services picture.
Nonetheless, I still consider this my favorite British horror film. "The House that dripped Blood" from Amicus and Hammer's "Frankenstein must be destroyed" are my runners up. I only wish that horror films of this nature were still in production; I have no interest in the current psychotic killer theme.
Well, actually the production company was Tigon.
shareAnything with naked women vampires made by Hammer is always good.
