She's "The Mistress of the Dark," and our most popular horror hostess in recent memory. Cassandra Peterson played the spunky goth Elvira hosting "Elvira's Movie Macabre," a late-night B-movie show running from 1981-86 with a couple sporadic revivals. Her bubbly wit serves the perfect counterpoint to campy horror gore, making her an unforgettable part of horror culture.
Films from a golden age in British horror
Hammer is synonymous with horror, after defining the genre in Britain with classics such as Dracula, The Curse of Frankenstein and The Mummy, which spawned numerous sequels. However, only 1/3rd of Hammer films were horror! The company tackled other genres, including psychological thrillers, sci-fi, noir and historical epic.
This list includes the Dracula, Frankenstein and Mummy film series, other Hammer horror and vampire movies, plus the thrillers.
This list contains all movies of Hammer Studio's horror line.
The Hammer's horror cycle began with his film The Curse of Frankenstein (1956), directed by Terence Fisher.
