Hammer House of Horror - Complete Set [VHS] Overview
Each generation creates tales of horror...Stories that seep through to the very heart of our collective fears... The legendary Hammer Studios is recognized as the high-water mark of the gothic macabre, spinning some of the most suspenseful and chilling horror films of all time, including Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula - Prince of Darkness, and Curse of the Werewolf. Hammer gave the world icons of horror with tales that seduced their way into our darkest spaces and our deepest nightmares. In 1980, Hammer took over the old Hampden Manor House in the heartland of England and produced a series of 13 short horror stories for television. With a host of Hammer regulars including Peter Cushing (Star Wars) and Denholm Elliot (Raiders of the Lost Ark), along with emerging newcomers such as Pierce Brosnan (Goldeneye), each episode provides a completely new and individual tale of terror and suspense. Now, A&E Home Video presents the complete run of Hammer House Of Horror--every episode ever made- -in this special collector’s set for the very first time. Volume 1: Witching Time/The Thirteenth Reunion Volume 2: Rude Awakening/Growing Pains Volume 3: The House That Bled To Death/Charlie Boy Volume 4: The Silent Scream/Children Of The Full Moon Volume 5: Carpathian Eagle/Guardian Of The Abyss Volume 6: Visitor From The Grave/The Two Faces Of Evil/The Mark Of Satan
Hammer House of Horror - Complete Set [VHS] Specifications
Witches. Deadly nightmares. Werewolves. Dagger-wielding authors. Body-snatching hitchhikers. For American horror buffs, this collection is something of a holy grail: the complete rarely seen 1980 anthology series produced by England's famed Hammer Studios, the masters of their gothic domain. Hammer aficionados will want to start with "The Silent Scream," which stars studio icon Peter Cushing in a terrifying story of captivity and comeuppance. Veteran character actor Denholm Elliott stars as an unhappily married real estate agent in the grips of a recurring nightmare in "Rude Awakening." As for rising stars, that's Pierce Brosnan in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo as Last Victim in "Carpathian Eagle," a story about a homicidal author who beds her victims. More Night Gallery than Twilight Zone, this series recalls Hammer's gory--I mean, glory--days as the premier producer of elegantly disreputable horror films that were a cross between Masterpiece Theatre and Herschell Gordon Lewis. There's nothing campy in this baker's dozen of episodes--just blood, dread, and fears (and a little nudity). --Donald Liebenson
