Product Description

Most critics, historians and filmmakers agree that no single entity has had more influence over the horror genre than Hammer Film Productions, a small independent British film company. This volume traces the life and spirit of the "House of Hammer" from its fledgling days of the late 1940s, through its successes of the 1950s and 1960s, to its decline in the 1970s. Through the eyes of many of the studio's key players, and through the works of film critics and historians, the text paints a picture of the rise and fall of a film empire.
