Hammer - The Studio That Dripped Blood: Part 1

A BBC documentary from 1987 tracing the history of Britan's famous Hammer studio. Interestingly, the title implies that the BBC was not immune from the common confusion between Hammer and Amicus; The House That Dripped Bood was an Amicus production.

Thank you for the upload. Using this in AS level Film Studies to introduce the students to British Horror. This is pure gold!

Tony Hinds is dryly funny when talking about his father. Not sure if that's intentional or not!

Wow! Marty Scorsese loved going to Hammer films? I know Peter Jackson was thrilled to met Christopher Lee for LOTR because he used to frequent Hammer double features at the cinema when he was a kid.
If you dig Hammer flicks, you're in good company.

I used to love watching these movies as a kid in the 70's. I especially enjoyed watching them in our friends 300 yr old house in the Kent countryside. We would be afraid to go up to bed afterwards.

Remember seeing this when it was first broadcast, in 1987. Followed by an amazing season of late-night Hammer double bills.
