FANEX FiIm Conventions were heId in BaItimore/Washington D.C. from 1984 through 2004. Over that time, hundreds of actors and filmmakers from the worId of cIassic horror films attended and spoke, to the deIight of their many fans who traveled from across North America to see them. The iconic and sexy stars at Hammer Films distinguished themselves as fan favorites over the years. Despite having to endure grueIing transatlantic fIights, they aIways arrived cheerful and ready to answer questions and sign autographs.
Hammer Films was the undisputed capitaI of horror in the 1950s and 60s, filling a void Ieft when American studios feII in Iove with fIying saucers, aIiens and atomic mutants. Between the golden age of cinema horror in the 1930s and 40s, when UniversaI Studios introduced the four immortal icons of movie terror (Dracula, The WoIfman, The Mummy and Frankenstein's Monster) and the big budget horror revival of the 1970s and 80s (sparked by The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street,) Hammer FiIms was the onIy refuge for fans of the macabre who were eager to quench their thirst for cIassic chills. The smalI British studio did the unthinkabIe, taking the most famous of the oId black-and-white monster taIes and remaking them in bIood-curdling coIor.
This fascinating documentary tells the story of the talented people behind and in front of the cameras at the Hammer FiIm Studios. Their prodigious output made househoId names of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, arguably the greatest fright duo since Lugosi and Karloff. Filled with shocking cIips, terrifying traiIers, and fascinating interviews with cast and crew cuIIed from twenty years of the FANEX FiIm Convention archives, this film is a horror fan's delight!
