Top 10 BEST Hammer Horror Films

[@amberkelly3187]

Yes. I love classic Hammer movies. I used to watch them as a kid. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, my dream team.

[@johnnewton9965]

Ditto

[@jonbolton3376]

Loved them since i was 6 and first watched Dracula: Prince of Darkness in 1986.

[@billmurray7473]

And they both went on to STAR WARS. George Lucas was a fan ,too.

[@lunaskies624]

My favourite is The Devil Rides Out. Great to see Christopher Lee in the unusual role as the good guy and he plays it brilliantly

[@dreadtheweekend]

Great choice.

[@lizardspoint]

I love this film so much, brought it yesterday on DVD xx

[@jonhinson5701]

I love eating junk food and watching this movie come Halloween.

[@wangson]

That's an AWESOME movie! I still find it kind of scary actually.

[@tommorwood888]

The Devil Rides Out is a Bad Ass witchcraft/Satanism movie! Think I'll watch it right now!

[@cuse445]

Nothing beats Cushing and Lee, the two giants of gothic horror.

[@WritteninBlood]

I myself love Twins of Evil so much that I've got not only the Blu-ray but also the soundtrack, a t-shirt, and a full-sized comforter from RedBubble. I've also got t-shirts for Lust for a Vampire and The Vampire Lovers. Great channel and great list!

[@davidbutler1622]

Completely agree about curse of Frankenstein. It’s one of my comfort films I watch if I’m ever off work sick. Old British actors are so good and make any dialogue sound interesting

[@BillJohnson-x6s]

YES! Thank you for including The Plague of the Zombies. That is my number 5 ALL TIME favorite movie.

[@walterfechter8080]

Hello Daniel. I really like that T-shirt with Mr. Vincent Price and Dr. Phibes on it. In the early 1970s, I met Mr. Price. He was a truly great gentleman. Cheers -- W

[@aldunlop4622]

I can't remember most of the Hammer movies but what I DO remember was staying up late with my mum who loved them every Saturday night for Creature Feature. This was in the 1970s. They usually had a presenter talk about actors etc before the movie.

[@06mrselfdestruct]

Creature Double Feature, every Saturday afternoon on WLVI 56 in Boston

[@majorneptunejr]

My favorite Hammer film is "Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter". I thought the combining of vampire and swashbuckling was very unique .

[@MarkAS56]

If only we could have gotten further Kronos films.

[@rachaelbean1439]

I would have loved a TV series. It could be rebooted on Netflix.

[@hcu4359]

Lead actor is terrible and his sidekick is annoying though. When the most sympathetic characters in the film are Doomed Buddy Who Contacted Hunter for Help and Hunter's Bimbo Girlfriend, your movie franchise isn't going anywhere.

That was really a great movie. Total fun to watch.

[@chronovore3726]

[@yensid4294]

Peter Cushing will always be *my* Van Helsing & Dr. Frankenstein 👍 There are so many good ones but Oliver Reed in Curse of the Werewolf is a stand out in my memory from childhood. Bob Wilkins/Creature Features showed Hammer films as well as older classic B&W horror films every weekend in the late 60s/early 70s. That & Outer Limits, Twilight Zone & Night Gallery was my gateway into the horror genre.

[@applin121]

This is a wonderful channel. Not just the content but your enthusiasm is very infectious. It’s very gratifying to see a young guy loving these films which I loved when I was young, (and still do) watching them late night in the UK on a Saturday on the BBC when my parents had gone to bed on an 18 inch colour tv set in 1977 with all the lights off. These movies have definitely proved to be enduring classics. Good to see Brides of Dracula on your list, which was the very first Hammer horror I saw; terrified me. If you haven’t already, give The Devil Rides Out and Quatermass and the Pit a go. Anyway, thanks for reading and thanks for your superb content.

[@jbsvinylcassettes8585]

I have never heard someone say, “I find slasher films comforting”…and for that…you get a follow…

[@johngandy5225]

I agree with your number one pick, Curse of Frankenstein! This is the first horror movie I ever saw, at the drive in, when it was first released. I was so scared I slept with my mama that night!

[@walterfechter8080]

My favorite Hammer horror film is "The Quatermass Xperiment." "X-The Unknown" comes in at second place. Screenwriter Nigel Kneale was a genius.

[@davepx1]

Indeed he was. More sci-fi, I'd say (he wasn't keen on horror itself), but Quatermass & the Pit's the other great (along with the earlier TV version).

[@walterfechter8080]

@@davepx1 Thank you, Dave P. I'm thinking that Nigel Kneale might have read, "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell, seeing that "Quatermass and the Pit" had leanings towards cosmic horror. That story was also decades before Erich Von Danikin's "Chariots of the Gods."

[@davepx1]

​@@walterfechter8080 There's also an early 1950s comic horror tale that he may have encountered in which an unearthed ancient human skeleton affects the locals. He cited contemporary race issues as his immediate inspiration (and of course the nazi episode was fairly recent). But he wove it all into a masterful narrative which both the BBC and Hammer brought to life admirably.

[@JessicaMcGowan-bu4ls]

I always enjoyed Hammer, the sets were beautiful. Glad you mentioned the zombie film - a monster magazine did photos of it and some were behind the scenes - one especially good one was an actor/zombie reading a script in one hand and holding a popsicle in the other. Loved that picture.

[@sidneygreenglass106]

I agree about the Gorgons in camera effects. The snakes are kinda hokey but Ill take that over Cgi any day!

I enjoyed your list. I totally agree with a few on your list, but my list would be different. In no particular order: "Vampire Circus", "Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde", "Quatermass and The Pit", "Blood from The Mummy's Tomb", "The Brides of Dracula", "Dracula", "The Witches", "Captain Clegg", "The Mummy", "The Plague of Zombies", These are the U.K. titles, the U.S. titles are often different.

[@adrianburchell8075]

Love that you included The Gorgon, the only Greek Myth they did. My absolute favourite Hammer Horror is The Devil Rides Out, the scene of them in the chalk circle is the greatest. More favourites are Quatermass and the Pit and X the Unknown

[@heartofjesusdj]

The colors in the Hammer movies were so vivid. That’s what I really loved about them. I wonder were they using a special filter.

[@Valkonnen]

Not a "Filter" but shot in glorious "Technicolor" which produced bright vivid colors , like Blood for instance...

[@glennhodges]

As a 65 year old "Monster Kid", I have to say that your picks are 100%. The only change would be "Twins of Evil" for a Karnstein movie with Ingrid Pitt. Dracula HRFTG was the first Hammer Dracula film that I saw first run and also I thought that I was alone in my fondness for the Hammer Phantom. And it wouldn't be a great list without several appearances of Michael Ripper. Always a bonus to a Hammer tale. All around excellent work!

[@postalghost830]

Me too!

[@franklintownsend7228]

Among my favorite Hammer films: "X the Unknown", "The Lost Continent", and "Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter"

[@tomt55]

Great list! There's so much here for a younger audience to discover and have fun with. I grew up with these in the 70s and 80s. I had a best friend that was much more astute on these movies than I was, so I learned a lot from him about these classic horror films. So many great titles. Hammer Horror is the only quintessential Gothic horror movies...

[@gatoelurso]

I love your enthusiasm. My favorite Hammer films, in no particular order: the Curse of Frankenstein, the Horror of Dracula, Curse of the Werewolf, Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, Count Dracula and His Vampire Brides, Brides of Dracula, the Mummy's, Quatermas and the Pit, and the Gorgon.

[@HalRappaport]

Know it's probably not as popular, but as a kid, I loved Dracula 1972 AD

[@jonathanfarrell2378]

I’m so glad you mentioned Hammer’s version of Phantom, it’s a gem. The music is really good. And it’s an underrated film. It’s also an unusual homage to Joan of Arc and the spirit of the artist in society.

[@markcoyan192]

Great list. I'm also a huge Hammer fan. 2 of my top 5 that weren't on this list would be "The Devil Rides Out" and "Vampire Circus". Those are 2 that I go back to quite often.

[@cobwebschannel]

Also terrific choices!

[@RaiderJoe44]

Excellent list and very entertaining episode! So glad to see THE GORGON make your top 5; it’s such an underrated Hammer horror film. My Top 5 would be: 1) THE HORROR OF DRACULA, 2) THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, 3) THE GORGON, 4) THE MUMMY and 5) THE DEVIL RIDES OUT.

[@cobwebschannel]

That's a great top 5! I'm also a fan of The Mummy and Devil Rides Out, even though they didn't quite crack my 10. Still excellent movies.

I'm particularly entranced by The Gorgon and would usually state it as my favorite Hammer film, though I am generally smitten with Hammer's horror output.

[@rickykilby4672]

The Gorgon is wonderfully atmospheric,peter cushing is brilliant in this.

[@hcu4359]

@@rickykilby4672 I feel like it's a good demonstration of his only real weakness as an actor; he's good at making the audience understand what makes his characters tick; but he's not very compelling when the audience is not supposed to understand what's up with his character. It's a problem in Gorgon (not the worst problem; that would be the Gorgon's snotty idiot of a boyfriend, who manages to make a less than compelling Peter Cushing character with muttonchop sideburns seem like Cary Grant by comparison); it's a problem in the first half of the Ghoul; it's possibly a problem in his Dr. Who movies.

I can't do a top 10 yet because I haven't seen 10 yet, but I'm working on a collection because what I've seen so far I love. I love Horror of Dracula and The Gorgon, those are my favorites so far. Those movies are just beautiful to look at. I often just pause the movie and look at the scenery and the sets and the costumes. I obviously didn't grow up with these movies but I somehow get a sense of nostalgia from them. I can't wait to see the next movies I track down.

[@shazzycushing]

I love most of the Hammer series of films, but my personal favorite has to be Vampire Lovers. Yes, it's exploitative and there's nudity, but I'll be damned if Ingrid Pitt doesn't play a vampire who manages to be sympathetic and horrifying in equal measures. Truly a great movie. I have a soft spot for the 70's Hammer films too. But they are all eminently watchable. Great list!

[@cobwebschannel]

Vampire Lovers is so good!

[@HudsonMedia]

My introduction to Hammer horror was through weirdly Doctor Who. The show in the 70s had a very gothic horror vibe which was inspired by these films and in the last few years I’ve nose dived into them. They’re my favourite type of film. My favourites have to be The Mummy 1959, The Mummy’s Shroud, The Gorgon and Curse of Frankenstein. For me horror films are at their best when they’re oozing with atmosphere and tension and creep factor. Not necessarily how likely it is to give you a heart attack like most horror is now.

[@moviehoarder8382]

I grew up on Hammer Horror movies! Saturday screenings in my home town cinema in the Sixties. One of the things that impressed me about them was the richness of colour: the saturated greens, browns and of course reds. This is something that even the BluRay remasters haven't quite managed to get right. So many choices but The Devil Rides Out, Rasputin, the Mad Monk, and The Witches are three favourites. Quatermass and the Pit is another, despite the terrible FX segment around its midway point. And I still think Ollie Reed's Werewolf is one of the best ever werewolf movies.

[@DinGrogu16]

Claude Rains Phantom of the Opera is the best. Classic performance. Can't beat the team of Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee. Bela Lugosi will always be my favourite Dracula though.

Love that film.@@robertogonzalezsierra219

Oh I've seen it. On Thriller Double Feature here in Windsor, Ontario back in the 1980's. Seems to me that the film was an anthology, no?@@franciswright6672

There was a time ... a wonderful storytelling with the best visual art and craft time. It was Hammer late fifties and sixties essential masterpieces time. You showed it in many of your personal top 10 best list ... and I agree and see a coherent sense of class and style. My own first cinema theater horror movie sreening in my life was at age 11 with my parents and big brother. A double programe featuring "Kiss of the vampire" ( Don Sharp ) and " Evil of Frankenstein " ( Freddy Francis ). Since that night I am a young Hammer Fan ... 70 years old .

I would have picked Vampire Circus over Twins of Evil, but otherwise I agree with your list.

Love that one too!

The first 10 minutes of Vampire Circus captivated me. I love that movie.

I'm half way through watching every Hammer movie (there are about 180), there are some hidden gems that are Thriller's rather than horrors. Here's my top ten so far, starting with the best: 1. Curse of Frankenstein 2. Horror of Dracula 3. Yesterday's Enemy 4. Taste of Fear 5. Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde 6. Hell is a City 7. Frankenstein Created Woman 8. Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires 9. The Revenge of Frankenstein 10. The Damned Cpt Kronos would be joint 10th.

The actresses in the Twins of Evil I believe were the first twins to pose asPlayboy's playmates.

They remind me of Linda Blair.

They were from Malta and hardly spoke English, so their voices had to be dubbed. Beautiful girls, great movie.

Fantastic top 10 and i liked the way you tried to stay away from the franchise's and just pick one from each. I do have a soft spot for Scars of Dracula mainly because i like how violent Dracula is in that movie. The Vampire lovers is also a favorite as it was the first ever movie with nudity that i watched as a young boy. Quatermass and the pitt would be in my top 10, loved the video buddy. Mark.

Thanks very much! Scars of Dracula is nuts. I can’t say I love it, but there is trashy fun to be had. haha And Lee gets to talk more!
