"Hammer Horror" is a 2005 eight movie collection of horror movies. The chilling movies produced by the Hammer Films studio have been scaring audiences worldwide for decades with their use of ominous and supernatural elements which foretold the coming of doom. Relive the chilling fear with some of their best classic stories in the "Hammer Horror" 8-Film Collection showcasing monsters that helped shape the modern day characters we love to be frightened by today. Featuring: "Brides of Dracula" (1960) "Night Creatures" (1962) "Nightmare" (1964) "Paranoiac" (1963) "The Curse of the Werewolf" (1961) "The Evil of Dr. Frankenstein" (aka "The Evil of Frankenstein") (1964) "The Kiss of the Vampire" (1963) "The Phantom of the Opera" (1962) Posters of Hammer horror movies by Dave Dunlap. Portrait of "The Phantom of the Opera" by Bradley Beard. "The Phantom of the Opera" - biography (taken from Bradley Beard's Facebook page) Masks instill either fascination or fear in most people with the possibility of what hides beneath. Presented here is the epitome of this ideal. Today's design is of Herbert Lom as Professor Petrie from the 1962 Hammer Horror classic The Phantom of the Opera; a distinctly lavish Hammer production with amazing sets, great cast, and incredible production values. This is a time honored gothic romance that everyone should already be familiar with so I won't go into details. Here the Phantom is portrayed as a tragic hero as opposed to earlier movies where he was more of a sadistic villain. The film was a box office failure but has garnered a cult following over the years. Today's been revealed; wait and see what tomorrow hides. Portrait of "The Evil of Frankenstein" by Bradley Beard. "The Evil of Frankenstein" - biography (taken from Bradley Beard's Facebook page) My design is of Australian wrestler Kiwi Kingston as the monster from the 1964 Hammer Studios classic The Evil of Frankenstein; also starring Peter Cushing as Dr. Frankenstein. In this movie, the monster is used as an instrument of revenge by a disgruntled hypnotist. The truly terrifying aspect of Cushing's portrayal is that he is so bent on the outcome of creating life from the dead that he never sees the horror in his actions. Remember to join me again to see what tomorrow brings to life. Portrait of "The Curse of the Werewolf" by Bradley Beard. "The Curse of the Werewolf" - biography (taken from Bradley Beard's Facebook page) Since the entire month of October was were-less (as in WEREwolf), I will make up for it this month starting today. This design is of Oliver Reed from the 1961 Hammer Studios classic Curse of the Werewolf. This movie was Oliver Reed's first screen appearance. This movie follows the cursed life of a man named Leon from birth through adulthood. His mother was thrown in prison after refusing the advances of an aging Spanish nobleman where she was later violated. Leon was born on Christmas and suffered a lifelong curse. The werewolf make-up is some of the most iconic ever created and Reed's werewolf one of the most frightening. I am glad to be back presenting more art for the next couple of months so you're not rid of me yet. Keep checking back daily... or nightly if you prefer.
