Scars of Dracula (1970)
"You must give me time to prepare you for what we both have to do."
"Both?"
"Yes, both of us. Without my guidance, you'd never survive the ordeal; without your courage, I could not even attempt it."
#scars of dracula#1970#hammer horror#dracinema#hammer films#roy ward baker#anthony hinds#christopher lee#jenny hanley#dennis waterman#christopher matthews#patrick troughton#michael gwynn#michael ripper#wendy hamilton#anouska hempel#delia lindsay#bob todd#david leland#james bernard#absolutely chaotic in terms of script and plotting‚ with a first act that feels like the end of a different film entirely (the angry mob#burn down the castle in the first 15 minutes! and then it's not really a plot point after that!). Lee was late to agree to returning‚ so#this was written as a potential reboot with another actor; it also had the misfortune to be packaged in a double deal with Hammer's#Frankenstein reboot‚ the p woeful Horror of Frankenstein‚ which hasn't helped its reputation. but it's ok? not great by any means but not#quite as bad as its reputation either. Lee wrote and spoke very dimly of this film but he's actually giving it everything on camera and he#gets used to his strengths (he probably has more dialogue here than in the rest of the Hammer Draculas combined). Stoker purists will enjoy#little details from the book (Drac scampers around the castle walls at last) and for the rest of us there's Pat Troughton cosplaying as a#werewolf as Drac man's right hand arm Klove. he's pretty wonderful (tunelessly whistling and happily bobbing around as he butchers and#dismembers the corpse of an unfortunate victim) but it made me truly insane in the brain when i did the maths and realised this was barely#a year after he finished work on DW; he looks a decade older‚ at least. James Bernard's score is absolutely brilliant‚ too among his best

Smuggling EVIL Past the Revenue Men! “Night Creatures” reviewed! (Blu-ray / Scream! Factory)
The Marsh Phantoms are Coming to a Blu-ray Near You! A savage pirate is left for dead on a remote island by his ruthless captain, a small village avoids taxation from the British King’s revenue men by smuggling French Brandy, and on the same village’s marsh land, ghostly skeletons ride into the night, placing the fear into wanderers with ghastly-glowing skulls and undead horses.

After, or rather while, sampling The Gorgon, The Evil of Frankenstein and The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, all 1964, I dreamed that I was touring the script crypt at Bray. There Major Carreras cracked his bull whip over the sweating backs of the toiling writers, who moaned at their task while an assistant producer beat out the typing speed on his kettle drums. The light of the full moon poured in through the Gothic windows, and producer Anthony Hinds stared in horror at his hands, as they grew hairy and twitched - another script idea was taking them over, and he was turning into one or another of his dreaded alter egos, John Elder and Henry Younger. Young Baron Sangsterstein was there, cackling hideously and with fiendish cunning sewing together bits of scenarios from the old Universal book. The dialogue was inserted by a very old librarian entirely wrapped in off-white bible-paper; he was consulting a stack of stone tablets whose hieroglyphics were cliché when the riddle of the sphinx was only a gleam in the High Priest's eye.

Quatermass 2 (1957)
Quatermass 2 (retitled Enemy From Space in the United States and Canada) is a 1957 black-and-white British science fiction horror film drama from Hammer Film Productions. It was produced by Anthony Hinds, directed by Val Guest, and stars Brian Donlevy with co-stars John Longden, Sidney James, Bryan Forbes, Vera Day, and William Franklyn. Quatermass 2 is a sequel to Hammer's earlier film The Quatermass Xperiment (1955). It was originally shown in the UK as Quatermass II. Like its predecessor, it is based on the BBC Television serial Quatermass II written by Nigel Kneale. Brian Donlevy reprises his role as the eponymous Professor Bernard Quatermass, making him the only actor to play the character twice in a film. It is considered as the first film sequel to use the ‘2’ / ‘II’ suffix within the title.
The film's storyline concerns Quatermass's investigation of reports of hundreds of meteorites landing only in the Winnerden Flats area of the UK. His inquiries lead him to a huge industrial complex, strikingly similar to his own plans for a Moon colony. This top-secret facility is in fact the centre of a conspiracy involving the alien infiltration of the highest echelons of the British Government. Quatermass and his allies must now do whatever is necessary to defeat the alien threat before it is too late.

According to Aisha’s IG, ...
... Anthony Hemingway is directing the episode that they’re currently filming, and, as a “Shameless (US)” aficionado, I’m officially losing my resolve to not have some hope that some thing is happening.
Back in the clown car I go!
ETA: *Jumps back out of said car* Apparently, that picture was from filming an episode of “True Lies,” and she shared it just as a friend. This is how desperate I am for hope.

Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)
"We'll pay the price."
"You will be repaid a thousand times."
"And may the Devil take good care of you."
#taste the blood of dracula#dracinema#hammer horror#hammer films#1970#peter sasdy#anthony hinds#christopher lee#geoffrey keen#gwen watford#linda hayden#peter sallis#anthony higgins#isla blair#john carson#martin jarvis#ralph bates#roy kinnear#michael ripper#russell hunter#madeline smith#I'd almost completely forgotten it but actually the very first bit of fanfiction i ever wrote was for this film; a little sequel giving Roy#Kinnear's nervous shopkeeper a grisly end. how time flies. anyway‚ this is good Hammer fun; feels like an end of an era in a way‚ the last#gasp of 60s Hammer (gothic aesthetic‚ older established actors‚ thoughtful scripts) giving way to 70s Hammer (more nudity and gore‚ a new#stable of young actors like Hayden and Bates‚ a marked decrease in subtlety on all fronts). not that there weren't some good films from the#studio in the 70s‚ but the innocence was definitely gone. a solid plot is propped up by some great character actors (John Carson!) and in#his first ever film Bates is pretty wonderful. Lee‚ sadly‚ seems fairly unenthusiastic with it all (and probably was; the film was written#without him initially‚ until US backers demanded his presence) and Sasdy seems content to have him hang back and look moody for most of the#film. less forgivable is Sasdy's sexualisation of Hayden (then 17) or an ending which surely counts as Dracula's most pathetic defeat#but it looks very nice and that cast are all very wonderful so i find myaelf revisiting again every few years..
