Only one Hammer film made @Variety's list of the 100 best horror movies of all time: variety.com/lists/best-horro…
I miss doing the whole Hammer horror thing, but as some of you know, I've had other things going on in the past year or so. For instance... I am now a friar! Disappointed I was not gifted wooden stakes and a hunting rifle when I took my vows, though. 1/

Star of A Body Like Mine is wonderfully craggy-faced Cornish actor Michael Ward.
Ward's Hammer credentials go back to What the Butler Saw and continued through Man About the House, and Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell where he notably plays 'Transveste'.

Starting my day off with a classic Hammer Horror... THE GORGON (1964). In the early twentieth century, a Gorgon takes human form and terrorizes a small European village by turning its citizens to stone. Starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley & Patrick Troughton.

Pretty sure I've just caught this handsome fellow in the background of Christopher Lee's GHOST STORIES FOR CHRISTMAS (2000).
ALT A blurry capture of the devil statue familiar from Hammer's THE KISS OF THE VAMPIRE (1963).
This charming piece of set decoration - a large statue of a satyr - appeared in Hammer's The Kiss of the Vampire (1963), then Doctor Who: Pyramids of Mars (S13 E10, 1975) and later in Midsomer Murders: A Tale of Two Hamlets (S6 E4, 2003). Credit to @harries71 and @Lovecraftianuk!

Aside: Nice meeting the various folk working at the revived #BrayStudios. They speak of an unusually “warm vibe” there, for a studio, which is consistent with well documented opinions of old… ❤️ @HammerGothic @HouseHammerPod

He also composed a cracking pastiche of James Bernard's style for the BBC Radio 4 production of The Unquenchable Thirst of Dracula, an unmade Hammer horror film scripted by Anthony Hinds (John Elder): teapaw.org/HammerGothic/status/15…
This musical motif by @blairmowat from The Unquenchable Thirst of Dracula (adapted by @Markgatiss from Anthony Hinds's unfilmed script) pays homage to Hammer horror by using a familiar James Bernard trick - composing a motif based on the rhythm of the title, as per Draaa-cu-laaa.

Blair Mowat is a prolific composer who has worked on numerous scores for both television and film. We are excited to announce that he has been nominated for his amazing work on the soundtrack of Joe Stephenson's Doctor Jekyll after creating the perfect Gothic soundtrack to accompany the film. 😈
The original score from the film is now available to stream/download on Amazon.
You can also watch Doctor Jekyll on VOD or Blu-ray.

Filing Hammer Films publicity materials...
Oh that Barbican season was something else. I was too young for it, but it sounded fabulous. Over 50 titles screened too.
