Created in memory of the captivating Veronica Carlson, who left us on this day in 2022 🖤

It’s troubling to watch, was added for the wrong reasons and I agree it’s out of line with the baron in the other films (except maybe Curse). The one thing that does track though is Anna’s demeanour thereafter. She’s clearly disassociated. A stellar and underrated performance from Carlson overall. 🖤

Fisher, Cushing and Carlson on set for Hammer’s Frankenstein Must be Destroyed, which completed filming on this day in 1969 🖤

Hammers sumptuous take on the tale is beautifully shot with a gloriously sinister Lom behind the mask and Gough in fine villain form. Underrated. 1962.

Splendid stuff. With its roots in folklore and misty moors it's Hammer horror at heart. Ripper and Reed are top support while creepy Cushing owns it. 1962.

Although the soul-transference angle is a bit silly, Cushing is on electric form, the tragic love story works, and Denberg is unsettling as the possessed Christine (a device later echoed in Hands of the Ripper). Camp and enjoyably outlandish at times, but it closes as a bleak, oddly moving tragedy.

The Queen of Hammer, Barbara Shelley, was born on this day in 1932. Here’s her magnificent transformation in Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966), her personal favourite and most iconic Hammer role. 🖤

Disciple of the count, a young baron and Dr Jekyll no less, a happy heavenly birthday to Ralph Bates today! 🖤

I grew up in the 80s and was all over the new movies then, but Hammer was just as much part of the viewing selection. I feel like we were more exposed to older stuff than kids are today, and they're unfortunately missing out.
