My top 10 favourite Hammer Horror movies

[@horrorhands666]

I meant to say that Christopher Lee played Frankenstein’s monster, not Peter Cushing. Derp! 🙃

[@DavidLewin2023]

Great choices! I got into horror after watching the 1958 Horror Of Dracula as a kid in the late 1970's and never looked back. So many great films made by Hammer, excellent video 👌

[@horrorhands666]

That's a great one to start with :) thank you

[@Fairly-odd-kel]

Hammer horror movies are very gothic victorian aren't they? Vincent Price kind of stuff which is cool af. I'd like to see a list of your favorite hammer horror actors/actresses!

[@horrorhands666]

They are indeed very Victorian and gothic. Thanks, Kel - that’s a great idea for another list 👍

[@erikramaekers63]

Great idea.Michael Ripper for ever

[@2012MCTG]

Nice to see Scars of Dracula getting some love ! Always a fun watch 👍

[@horrorhands666]

Definitely! Thank you 👍

[@Truegho]

Being a fellow Hammer fan, I really enjoyed this video, Bryn. Some great choices. I certainly agree with you on Cushing's Baron Frankenstein and Lee's Dracula - two great legends of horror, and with such an awesome onscreen chemistry. Also great friends offscreen too, of course. The Devil Rides Out is a worthy selection for your No. 1 spot. I will be doing my own Top 10 Hammer films too very soon, which is going to be a little difficult, because as you rightly say, there are so many good Hammer horror movies that you end up leaving many out that you would have loved to have included. Still, there is always a Top 20 Hammer Films, but even then, there are bound to be a few more favourites which bubble under that list. Oh, by the way, am really excited that Scream Factory are releasing a Special Edition of THE VAMPIRE LOVERS (another huge favourite of mine), but that won't be until a few days before Christmas, so I will have to make it a New Year's treat to myself! Thank you for sharing this video, Bryn.

[@horrorhands666]

Thanks so much, Alan. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and would love to see your top 10. Yes, I saw Vampire Lovers was getting a release, that’ll be a nice one from Scream Factory 👍

[@MattVs_Movies]

Wonderful collection of Hammer Horror films I always enjoyed watching these. Never seen the the Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires sounds a great mix of genres need to track down for a good price. Great video mate 👍

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you, mate. 7 Golden Vampires is definitely worth checking out 👍

[@king-fisher]

Christopher Lee's *RASPUTIN* was like a trial run for his performance as SARUMAN decades later. He was so good at playing those imperious super-villains like Rasputin, Fu Manchu, Scaramanga, Saruman and Dracula.

[@horrorhands666]

He certainly was! Thanks for watching.

[@sarahofhorror]

Great video! A few of them I haven't seen yet, but planning on seeing, but I agree with the top 2, so good. Cursd of Frankenstein is a favorite of mine aswell 😀

[@horrorhands666]

Thanks, Sarah. Glad you agree with the top 2. Curse of Frankenstein is awesome.

[@eelponna3145]

Great stuff - I personally love Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell. Quite gory and probably Hammers last great film. It’s worth a watch if you haven’t already. I also love the Hammer House of Horror TV series - nearly the last thing the original Hammer studio did. What about Amicus? They’re the anthology masters and Hammer’s equal on many levels.

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you! I remember really liking Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell, it’s just been a while since I’ve watched it. I’m a huge fan of Amicus too and love their anthologies 👍

[@paulrichards6894]

Great list...the only one i have not watched is the 7 golden vampires film.....we forget how many great films hammer made...golden era

[@horrorhands666]

Yeah, they did some real classics. Thanks, Paul!

[@bushmanblu426]

Great video Bryn, I still need to pickup Doctor Jekyll, really enjoy that one, Scars of Dracula is one of my favourites, i like the way Dracula is violent in that one. i need to get that US release of Curse of Frankenstein, i believe the PQ is great on that one. Never watched 7 Golden vampires, i know shocking lol, The Mummy is brilliant enough said about that one. Not watched Rasputin but i do have it in that boxset that you sent me. Kiss of the vampire is great, Brides of Dracula has Cushing's best version of Van Helsing. Dracula would be my number one, great top 10 buddy. Mark.

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you, Mark. Yes, the picture quality on Curse Of Frankenstein looks great. I only watched 7 Golden Vampires for the first time last year. I highly recommend Rasputin. Dracula is a solid choice for number 1 👍

[@davidarmstrong3817]

some great choices there,these were the movies that got me into horror movies as a kid watching them on tv on a friday and saturday night with my grandad,

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you. Sounds like a great memory :)

[@MRJORDproductions]

Nice list, man. 👍 Thanks for putting The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires on my radar.

[@horrorhands666]

No problem! That’s definitely a fun one 👍

[@dianaallison6110]

Very well done & summarized. Thx so much 4 this one. I've loved all the horror films since I was a kid..in the 1960's..& really enjoyed this review vid 🙂🙂💕💕

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@tylordstevenson]

I got to check out some of these! I've only really watched the Dracula movies. Also liked The Gorgon, but I'm not sure if that's Hammer.

[@horrorhands666]

There’s lots of good ones that are definitely worth a watch. Yes, The Gorgon is Hammer 👍

[@concreteoctopus]

Great list - and delighted to see some love for The Devil Rides Out (my absolute favourite too)!

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you very much! Glad we agree on that one

[@filmwolf4078]

Hi Bryn. A very varied and interesting list 👍 well done. Twins of Evil and Brides of Dracula are two of my favorite Peter Cushing roles ever. His Van Helsing in Brides of Dracula is very action packed 😜 Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter, Brides of Dracula, Vampire Circus, Vampire Lovers, Kiss of the Vampire are all awesome and proof that they did some arguably better stuff outside the Chris Lee Dracula films. I’ve always loved Dracula AD1972 - good fun 70s Satanic/Vampire nonsense 😜😂

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you! Yes, there are definitely some great non-Christopher Lee vampire film. I haven’t seen Dracula AD 1972 for years but I remember thinking how cool the character name of Johnny Alucard was lol

[@paulrichards6894]

are hammer films popular in the US??......

[@horrorhands666]

@@paulrichards6894 Yes, I believe so. They may not have the same legacy over there as they do in the uk but a lot of US horror fans definitely love them

[@spiritsnscreams]

Hey just checking out your channel. Awesome collection! Love your shirt too. I’m not super well versed in Hammer Horror but I’ve seen and love Christopher Lee films. Really glad you connected, you have a great channel. Can’t wait you check out more of your videos.

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you, Karen. There’s a lot of Hammer movies that are definitely worth checking out 👍 I appreciate you stopping by!

[@richardmoriarty3828]

Completely agree with your top 4, Hammer's finest. I'd probably throw Quatermass And The Pit and Plague Of The Zombies into the top 10 and maybe Satanic Rites Of Dracula as a guilty pleasure. Fantastic video yet again 👍

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you! I'm glad you agree. I nearly threw in the first Quatermass movie.

[@AtomicSnackBar]

This is the episode I've been waiting for my entire life....just didn't know it. Some great choices and a few I haven't seen. Definitely going to keep an eye out for Rasputin. I'd have to really think on my top ten. But I know my top four would be: 1. Vampire Lovers 2. Twins of Evil 3. Curse of Frankenstein 4. 7 Golden Vampires

[@horrorhands666]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Great list, Vampire Lovers is getting a Scream Factory blu ray release soon 👍

[@AtomicSnackBar]

@@horrorhands666 I've been holding off on buying it for some unknown reason. Glad I did.

[@tinasmith8791]

Great video! I have enjoyed the Hammer films that I have watched and hope to watch some other ones!! Thanks for your videos!!!!

[@horrorhands666]

Thanks, Tina. There’s definitely a lot of great Hammer movies out there 👍

[@SuperGrumpyDaddy]

Excellent Top Ten. Glad to see my all-time favourite is also your No. 1. 👍👹 Haven’t seen either of the ‘Vampire’ films, will have to rectify that sometime soon.

[@horrorhands666]

Thanks, Mark. Great that you like Devil Rides Out too. Yes, definitely check those out 👍

[@beyondz55]

Really respect your list/picks. Love Hammer and Amicus

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you very much!

[@maxwashingtonmusic7000]

Imma check out Rasputin and Curse of Frankie and the Kung fu one! Lee was brilliant. I’ve watched a few Hammer films. Darth Vader was good in Monster from Hell. I love the Kate Bush song Hammer Horror. I’m gonna rewatch Devil Rides Out. Haven’t seen it in ages. I love Captain Kronos. That was a bit different. Did u see that? It’s a great comic too. Awesome vid! U reminded me of movies I wanna see. Cheers 💠🌐❇️✳️✨🪐

[@horrorhands666]

Thank you, Max. They are definitely worth a watch. Yes, I did see Captain Kronos and it is definitely a fun one 👍

[@jduasvte2436]

Great video, I love Hammer Horror movies. i have all of those movies except Dr. Jekyll and Rasputin, I need to pick those up too 👍

[@horrorhands666]

They're definitely worth getting. Thank you for watching :)

[@Johnyc321]

Hi Bryn, all great movies. U cant beat Hammer for atmosphere. How is Horror Dad keeping by the way? Have U seen Halloween Kills yet?

[@horrorhands666]

Yes, I agree. Horror Dad is fine, thanks. We actually went to see Halloween Kills together and enjoyed it 👍

[@horrorintoj3577]

Great list mate you have to love hammer horror, I haven't seen the devil rides out for ages. My favourite is Dracula 1958

[@horrorhands666]

That’s awesome, mate. Thank you

[@cultflixfix2453]

Great List Bryn! The only one I’ve seen is The Seven Golden Vampires. I enjoyed it. I need to see more Hammer Horror Films. I’m going to look out for these titles. I enjoyed the Video and Take Care Buddy! 👊🏼👍🏼

[@horrorhands666]

Thanks, Leon. If you liked 7 Golden Vampires, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the others on this list 👍

[@Prof.CliffDavenport.]

Interesting list Bryn, I think this time mine is going to differ quite a bit(e). Here we go.. 10) Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter 9) Hands of the Ripper 8) Dracula, Prince of Darkness 7) Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires 6) Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed 5) Quatermass and the Pit 4) Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell 3) Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde 2) Dracula 1) The Devil Rides Out I could have done another 10 easily. Love Hammer films. Off the top of my head special mentions go to Hound of the Baskervilles, Taste of Fear, Taste The Blood of Dracula, Vampire Circus and any other Karnstein film, any one of the aforementioned could have made it into my Top Ten easily.

[@horrorhands666]

Really interesting list, Cliff. Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires is such an offbeat, but fun Hammer film! Definitely agree with your number 1. Thanks for sharing!

[@Prof.CliffDavenport.]

@@horrorhands666 No probs. Yes, Golden Vampires is a crazy film, loads going on in that and quite racy too, packed full of my kind of ‘entertainment’, plus it also helps that one of my other great cinematic loves apart from horror is Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts films from the 1970s, meaning I’m incredibly biased toward that one. Just wish Christopher Lee had played Dracula in Lot7GV though. Devil Rides out is a masterpiece! One of the greatest horror films of all time as far as I’m concerned.

[@HorrificNightmaresJM]

Loved your list. I may have to do a response. Awesome video Bryn.

[@horrorhands666]

Thanks, Jason. I’d love to see that

Everyone loves the devil rides out, bit surprised to see the golden vampires in the top ten though. But great list

My top 10 changed over the years.Hands of the Ripper, Vampire Lovers and Twins of Evil made it in my list recently(last ten years) My favorite Hammer movie is :The Brides of Dracula.PS Scars of Dracula is the first Dracula movie I saw in the cinema(1971)Kiss of the Vampire has one of the best climaxes ever.

[@horrorhands666]

Thanks so much for that. That’s cool that you saw Scars Of Dracula in the cinema 👍
