The British independent film company Hammer Productions was founded in 1934, and flourished in the mid-1950s through the 70s with "Gothic Horror" films often based on classic literature characters and imaginative story fragments.  Fans immediately were drawn to regulars Christopher Lee - unforgettable as hypnotic Dracula - and Peter Cushing as an intense, passionate Dr. Frankenstein. With supportive casts, including a bevy of busty starlets, and brilliantly established period settings and costumes - helmed by directors such as Terence Fisher, Val Guest, Robert Aldrich, Freddie Francis, Don Chaffey, utilizing scripts penned by the creative force of the prolific Jimmy Sangster, Hammer Studios found rewarding success both domestically and abroad maintaining a cache of loyal followers. Although the studio delved into, noir, science fiction, war-dramas, psychological thrillers and comedy - they were known worldwide for their elegantly established horror series, even creating a television programme in 1980 entitled Hammer House of Horror. For many years, Hammer's charismatic essence dominated this genre's film market, impacting immensely on the entire industry and the studio continues to attract new converts decades later.

We've attempted to organize a listing of most of the Hammer films available on Blu-ray, with button access to our reviews, purchase links, and we briefly address the, imitating, competitor's work plus providing some book recommendations and subsection for Amicus and Tigon Studios. We will continue to update this page as necessary. As Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter stated "What he doesn't know about vampirism wouldn't fill a flea's codpiece", so if there are titles we've neglected, please let us know! Thank you!
