Let's Be A Hammer Horror Film Production

I'm the cleavage that all the actresses are required to show plenty of.

I'm Britt Eckland's nude scene

[quote] I'm Christopher Lee

I’m Peter Cushing.

End of thread?

I'm the feminine, pretty, lipstick lesbian vampires... In real life, lesbians look nothing like us

I'm the gory and spooky special effects!

I'm John Hamill. I got my part by letting the producer suck me off and then also fucking the director.

I'm Miss Barbara Windsor as a busty vampire in the [italic]Carry On[/italic] parody.

I'm Charles Gray. The best damn homosexual villain there is.

I'm TCM playing the movies on the 1 AM to 7 AM timeslot in October.

I’m pre-Dame Joan Collins and I will show tits and snatch if it guarantees me a juicy part.

I’m the green mist.

I'm the deliberate attempts not to copy anything unique to the Universal horror films. The stories were in the public domain but certain aspects, like Karloff's monster makeup, were still copyrighted by Universal.

Movies!TV has been running all the Hammer horrors regularly this month.

[quote] if it guarantees me a juicy part.

And a paycheck.

Well, actresses were part of the prop department until 1975.

I’m the basement. You will come into me and you will NEVER LEAVE.

Im the closeups of the female actresses screaming, so close you can count their fillings.

I'm the goddamn contact lenses that are blinding Chris.

I'm the score- you know when to be spooked, when to laugh, when to cry, and when to get up and leave.

I'm the beautiful castle set.

I'm the gorgeous peasant girl who is also mute.

I'm the strawberry-magenta blood.

I'm Bosley Crowther with the New York Times. I hate it all!!!!!!!

I love these campy old movies; Peter Cushing is actually very good as Sherlock Holmes in Hound of the Baskervilles.

I am the matte paintings of castles in gloomy, forested, mountainous backgrounds. Beautiful, but not realistic in the least.

I'm Ingrid Pitt, Hammer's Queen of Horror despite only appearing in two of their productions.

I'm the accents! Received pronunciation or Cockney - nothing in-between, lol.

I'm the heaving lady melons in the décolleté costumes, which for some reason are worn as ubiquitous morning- and afternoon-wear by ladies and sported by every female servants' uniform.

Boobies boobies boobies.

You should see mine!

I'm the inability or unwillingness of the studio ever to hire an attractive young man as the male ingenue.

Lee would not have it!

I'm director Terence Fisher.

I brought color, sexual overtones and explicit horror to the genre.

Christopher Lee was a very capable character actor in Tim Burton's films; makes you wonder why he never had much of a career outside of Hammer in his younger days.

I'm the hideous looking, deformed and/or deranged, servant and sidekick to the title character.

Peter Cushing Christopher Lee

Oliver Reed

Madeline Smith

Michael Gough Andre Morrell

Barbara Shelley

Alec McCowen Charles Gray

Veronica Carlson David Prowse as THE CREATURE

and INGRID PITT

in Terence Fisher's

The MALICIOUS MALISON of MAYHEM with the MUMMIFIED MONSTER!!!

I'm the lead actress. I'm supposed to be a Victorian maiden, but I have a teased bouffant hairdo and tons of liquid eyeliner.

I'm the wiglets, falls and other 60's hairpieces worn by the characters no matter what year the movie is set in.

Don't think I'm limited to the actresses. Although, at least most of them didn't bother with the glue on mutton chops and sideburns.

I'm the first of November, you won't have to see me for another elven months.

Don't forget David Peel, who played Baron Meinster in he Brides of Dracula. He was rumored to be very gay.

R36 He's hot, so it is okay.

I’m the prettiest, blondest, bustiest and most virtuous girl. And the only girl who survives Dracula’s reign of terror.

I watched the Hammer Dracula series this past week, from the 1st movie to the bitter end. It was shocking to notice how Dracula's love interests declined over the years from young babes & attractive women like Barbara Shelley to ugly broads in bad wigs. Poor Dracula

You WISH you were Christopher Lee, hon.

I'm George Woodbridge!

I'm the scarf Peter Cushing wore

I'm Bray Studios

I'm the modern productions (Let Me In, The Woman In Black, The Lodge, The Resident, etc.) that have the Hammer name and but don't really feel like a Hammer film.

Working on horror movies must've felt like being the Walmart worker of the entertainment industry: low budget, expected to crank out a lot of content, little respect, etc. Granted, there are worse gigs in the world, but seeing how someone like Peter Cushing worked up almost to the end of his life makes you wonder if he *had* to keep working.

I’m the splotchy red blood everywhere

I'm The Studio That Dripped Blood. Narrated by Hammer Horror veteran Charles Gray.

I'm the Victorian or Edwardian era the film is set in!

I'm Ingrid Pitt, pissed as hell at having my voice dubbed for Countess Dracula.

R48 Should have shown your tits

I'm the occasional scene beautifully shot on-location at a real centuries' old castle. I'm one of the main reasons you're tuning in.

I'm torture porn.

I’m the vaguely Germanic but also vaguely Slavic setting. I am the mysterious “Mitteleuropa”.

I’m Christopher Lee’s long swooping cape! Watch me at the top of the stairs!

R52 BUT I am set in Romania

[quote] I'm the inability or unwillingness of the studio ever to hire an attractive young man as the male ingenue.

Except for Anthony Higgins in "Vampire Circus" (1972), who I've been in love with since I was a boy.

The MALICIOUS MALISON of MAYHEM with the MUMMIFIED MONSTER (1973)

I'm 9 years old, sitting in a theater, watching an actor getting a cage of hungry rats strapped to his face. I'm still terrified of rats, wild or domestic. What were my parents thinking, letting me go see this?

I'm the pendulum about to slice through the white puffy shirt of the hero tied to a massive stone platform, about which a deep stone pit threatens.

All the boys in the audience are waiting for the reveal.

I'm the classic novel that I am very loosely based on.

R57 and 58 aren't even referencing Hammer films.

R60 what movies are they referencing?

R58 is talking about Roger Corman's The Pit and The Pendulum from American-International Pictures the home of Frankie and Annette.

Is R57 "Willard" (1971)?

I wonder if R57 is referring to the film 1984 with John Hurt. There's a scene where a cage of rats is tied to his head to get information from him.

R57 here. I think it was something to do with witch hunting in the olden times. There were other torture scenes, IIRC.

I'll ask the therapist after my next hypnosis session.

You might be talking about Mark of The Devil.

I'm the village pub that goes silent when a stranger walks in.

I'm the midget - sometimes I'm the sidekick of the hero - sometimes I work at the pub - but I always wear tights.

I'm the scene where Peter Cushing plays the violin to show this film is a high caliber production

I am Eric Porter in Hands of the Ripper!

[quote] I'm the feminine, pretty, lipstick lesbian vampires... In real life, lesbians look nothing like us

Speak for yourself, hon.

I'm dry ice.

"I am the mysterious “Mitteleuropa"

Vulgaria?

I'm Barbara Steele. I'm mad as hell nobody's mentioned me yet. I'll just leave here and go make a horror flick in Italy. I'm still alive. Alive!

I'm Melissa Stribling's pussy wet for Drac.

I the evil ivy creeping around the doorway blocking your escape

R57 My dad used to drop me off at the movies. to watch horror films by myself. My friends weren’t allowed to see scary movies. I remember how the Blob and Village of the damned scared the crap out of me for yrs

When my parents went to see Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, they took me. I was nine. The scene where Blanche was starving to death still makes me shiver! What were MY parents thinking?????

<- Joan had some stunning scenes in that movie. She used all of her 40 years of film acting experience. The starving scene; calling Dr. Shelby; and the final beach scene. And you totally believed she was a cripple.

I'm the crossover with the films referenced in this thread.

Rep 77: what were they thinking? My mother would drop my brother and I off at the movies. Lolita was playing at our local theater. They would not allow an unaccompanied child to view the film.

So she drove us over to the next town to watch WEHTBJ. Seen today Lolita seems very tame. Serving roasted rats and parboiled parakeets does not.

Erratum: rep 57!

To me the scariest thing in ANY Hammer Horror Film was Hazel Court.

Is any station showing these this year? Because I totally need my fix of the dripping blood leaving a River of blood leading to the dangling, dripping, vampire puncture marks.

R4, There are lipstick lesbians.

I am Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing looking good mainly because of everyone else in the cast.

I am the peculiar Garish Gothic set designs, and the occasional domestic interior that looks like the Grip's mother's house was used while she was out getting her toenails trimmed.

I am Basil Rathbone!

I'm the décolleté..

R68, being fancy doesn't get you past R1.

I'm the day-for-night outdoor scenes, invariably filmed under strong daylight with a special filter that makes everything look as if the lens had been smeared with blue shoe polish. I'm about as believable as the magenta blood that R21 has mentioned, and the crummy special effects.

I'm The House that Bled to Death!

Does TV Hammer count? Still remember this one for giving me nightmares, never was a fan of horror.

I'm Denholm Elliott

R83 there are a couple on late tonight on TCM - EST.......

R57 R80 I guess this is why most of us ended up here @ DL..not that I ever censored what my kids would watch but In never take my 9 yr old to se WHBJ

I still find it unpleasant to watch

Tell me about it, R94.

John Carradine here. Any roles for me? I'll do almost anything. .

I'm the beautiful heroine in a diaphanous nightgown wandering down a creepy hall with a candle.

I'm the Kate Bush song inspired by Hammer Films:

Who calls me from the other side

Of the street?

And who taps me on the shoulder?

I turn around, but you're gone.

Christopher Lee was way to good looking to play in all those monster pictures.

I am the Grand Dame of Hammer Horror, Vincent Price, narrating and acting with my velvet voice.
