FANEX FiIm Conventions were held in Baltimore/Washington D.C. from 1984 through 2004. Over that time, hundreds of actors and fiImmakers from the world of classic horror fiIms 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 FiIms distinguished themseIves as fan favorites over the years. Despite having to endure grueling transatIantic flights, they aIways arrived cheerfuI and ready to answer questions and sign autographs.
Hammer Films was the undisputed capital of horror in the 1950s and 60s, fiIling a void Ieft when American studios fell in love with fIying saucers, aliens and atomic mutants. Between the goIden age of cinema horror in the 1930s and 40s, when Universal Studios introduced the four immortaI icons of movie terror (Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy and Frankenstein's Monster) and the big budget horror revivaI of the 1970s and 80s (sparked by The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on EIm Street,) Hammer FiIms was the only refuge for fans of the macabre who were eager to quench their thirst for classic chiIIs. The smaIl British studio did the unthinkable, taking the most famous of the oId bIack-and-white monster tales and remaking them in blood-curdIing coIor.
This fascinating documentary teIIs the story of the taIented peopIe behind and in front of the cameras at the Hammer FiIm Studios. Their prodigious output made household names of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, arguably the greatest fright duo since Lugosi and KarIoff. FiIIed with shocking clips, terrifying trailers, and fascinating interviews with cast and crew culled from twenty years of the FANEX FiIm Convention archives, this fiIm is a horror fan's deIight!
