Hammer movies can't be beaten for me in look and feel Gazz 🤩🤩👍👍 Bray studios was a magical place wasn't it...that new Dr Jekyll movie coming out is a Hammer movie....wonder if Bray Studios could be a place they could possibly use? 🤔😁 cheers for watching Gazz 🤩🤩👍👍
I love Hammer and have been obsessively buying Hammer blus this year. Second Sights The Mummy SE is awesome, but Taste of Fear was an incredible revelation for me. Hammer seem to have risen from the grave this year! Love the video!
Cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍 it's a rabbit hole to fall down for sure, but at least they only made so many, so you can actually collect them all at some point 🤩👍Love that Mummy set 👌👌 haven't seen Taste of Fear yet, I'll have to seek it out 🤔🤩 "Hammer seem to have risen from the grave" love it mate 🤩🤩👌👌 cheers for watching 😁😁
Your Hammer presentation is steller loved it as i was watching most of those films when released in the cinema. With the low budget they spent on those films there was always attention to detail.
Thanks Hilda, still got a way to go to complete it but I'm having lots of fun collecting them 😊👍 must have been amazing to have watched these at the Cinena Hilda 😊👍👍 they made some of these movies seem like big budget affairs but as you say, the attention to detail and how the sets were dressed made them look amazing 👏 thanks again for watching Hilda 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies The great thing about watching them in the cinema was the fact it was almost always a double bill. Back then they were X certificate. Now they are great fun for anyone.
Yeah I've heard them say that a lot on the extras that they were paired up together 👍👍in fact when you went to the Cinema there was always a B movie on with the main feature 😁 ahh the good old X certificate 🤩🤩 yeah family fun now Hilda 😁😁👍👍
Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter, The Damned, Shadow of the Cat, Straight On Till Morning, The Old Dark House(comedy horror directed by William Castle produced by Hammer), The Nanny are also great films. I wish Warner would release Hammer's Hysteria(thriller/horror). Vampire Lovers, Lust For a Vampire & Twins of Evil are a trilogy based on Sheridan Le Fanu's novella "Camilla". I love Hammer horror, some of the my absolute fave horror films ever, especially the vampire flicks. Horror of Dracula, Brides of Dracula and Vampire Lovers(Germany has a really beautiful uncut version), Twins of Evil, and Vampire Circus are my faves. Australasia had a Blu Ray release of The Quatermass Experiment. The disc also includes as bonus features: Quatermass 2, and X The Unknown. Great video, really enjoyed your collection.
Thanks for watching Paige 🤩🤩👍👍 the movies you've mentioned are on my pick up list for sure 👌 I remember having a great time with Captain Kronos 😁 everyone talks about The Nanny as well, although I don't think I've seen it 🤔 the Camilla Trilogy, yeah that's it, I totally blanked on that name in the video 😵💫🤣 Hammer's vampire movies have never been equalled for me Paige!!! They have a very distinctive style 👍 so is Vampire lovers cut in the UK? That Quatermass disc sounds amazing!! 👌👌🤩🤩 thanks for this great info 😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Yeah, me and my Hubby love Hammer horror films! Some of the best films ever! We almost have a complete collection on Blu Ray, just missing a couple, one of which doesn't even have a release yet on Blu Ray(Hysteria), and Satanic Rites of Dracula(we have it on DVD, but it's not a fave sadly). There's nothing wrong with the UK and US Blu Rays of Vampire Lovers, :). Anolis in Germany released a really nice Blu Ray back in 2016 which included a few more seconds, at the start of the film where the first vampire is beheaded, before the opening credits. You see more of the severed head on the ground which does tidy up the sequence a little, but yeah, its a few seconds only, so it depends on how fussy you are,lol. But it does make it the most complete version released to date. It's a really nice looking Blu Ray overall too, really happy with the restoration work on that release. Apparently it was re-released by another German studio(HanseSound) in 2020. As you can tell I really love The Vampire Lovers,lol. My Hubby & I are very envious of you having a autograth of Ingrid Pitt.....That is so awesome! :)
That's great that you have a shared love for Hammer and also a near complete collection 🤩🤩👍👍Satanic Rites was a bit of a let down for me after loving A.D72 😵💫 great info about the missing scenes from the UK versions 👍 glad to know its not much but I might track that down 🤔🤩 I do like to get the fullest versions if I can 😁 good to know it looks great Paige 😊 yeah the Ingrid Pitt autograph is one of my prized possessions and so grateful to my mate for getting it for me.... I'm hoping to get him on a live stream in the future and I might as him what it was like to meet the fantastic Ingrid in person......I think it was in the 90s 🤔🤩 thanks for watching and say hi to your husband from me 😁😁👍👍
Thanks KMN 😁😁👍👍I need to get back to watching more Hammer Horror as its been a bit of time away from them 🤔🤩 I pretty much enjoy them all mate, such a great batch of films! Thanks for watching mate 😁😁👍👍
Great video and you need to watch some of your Blu-rays! You've got a great collection of films and you can't beat the Hammer films . You're very knowledgeable about the films and your love for them shines through.I think Christopher Lee was the ultimate Dracula and Peter Cushing the definite Frankenstein.
Cheers Martin 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah I do need to fully watch these Hammer blus mate 😁😁 thanks for the kind words Martin 🤩🤩👌👌 yeah I've been a huge fan for many years and I totally agree that Lee & Cushing made those characters their own, and they haven't been equaled to this day Martin 🤔😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies I think in particular the original remakes are the definite version of each story.For example I still think the first Dracula film in 1958 is the best ever version, even though it might be on a low budget.Their Frankenstein in 1957 is incredible and of course on a low budget also.Though I think the best monster will always be Boris Karloff who was only 5 foot 11 by the way .Though Peter Cushing gives a marvelous performance in Curse Of Frankenstein and you really understand why he's so driven.I think Hammer tried to remake many old films including King Kong in 1966 but instead remade One Million Years BC.
@user-gl4ei8wy4k great info here Martin 😁😁👏👏 didn't know that about King Kong 😳🤩 I agree that the 2 "origin stories" of Dracula & Frankenstein remain my definitive story starts for both characters! That's not taking away the Universal Frankenstein though 👌👌👌 shame Hammer will never return to that period successfully although they do release new movies periodically 🤔🤩👍👍
good haul, I'd highly recommend Hands of the Ripper, quite bloody in parts and with excellent acting, story and cinematography from the director Peter Sasdy of Taste the Blood of Dracula and Countess Dracula.
Cheers Shaun, yeah I will be checking that out soon, had it in the collection for a while and always hear great things about it 😊😊 thanks for the info Shaun 😁😁👍👍
Thanks Lee, there are a few in this community and some have some cracking collections! Great to hear you support and collect Hammer 🤩🤩👍👍 cheers for watching and commenting Lee 😊😊👍👍
Hi John, I love Hammer House remember watching when I was a kid with my dad, on a Saturday night double bill on BBC1 in the late 70's. You have a amazing hammer collection. You and Keith should do a hammer special, I did enjoy your Halloween video.
Hi Ray, yeah Hammer house of Horror was a brilliant series! Really scared me if I'm honest 🤯 yeah my Dad and me watched them together as well 🤩 great memories 👍 thanks Ray, hoping to get more of them into the collection next year 🤞 that's a good idea, love doing the streams with Keith, so I'll chat about that with him 👌 cheers for watching Ray 🤩👍
Outstanding video John. Thanks so much for doing this - an incredibly informative video. I've picked up the two Second Sight releases which are my first look at Horror movies and I'm super keen to check out Lee's Dracula movies next. I'll be coming back to this video again and again I'm sure.
Thanks Simon 🤩🤩👍👍 glad it's helping you out bud 😁 the second sight releases are top quality 👌 the Christopher Lee Draculas are all really entertaining mate 🤩 thanks for watching Simon 👍👍
WHAAAT!? The Devil Rides Out is 1967, don’t know where you got ‘63 from! 😂😂 I need Dracula Has Risen From The Grave to complete my Dracula set! Great video John.
Yeah Mark, I'm blaming the website I researched this video on 😵💫🤣 Dracula has risen from the Grave is a really decent entry to the Dracula series 👌👌 cheers Mark 🤩👍
Cheers Alan, wish I could of put more info in the video but it would have went on for ages 🥴 yeah best experience of my youth watching Hammer on a Friday night 😁😁 glad the video helped you out Alan 🤩🤩👍👍
Good collection, John. Devil Rides Out was 1966 not ‘63. Definitely watch Kiss Of The Vampire…good opening scene and the finale was originally intended for Brides Of Dracula !
Cheers mate, I got that date of a website (I thought it seemed a bit off) on imdb it says its 1968 😵💫🤣 I should have put my glasses on and read the sleeve 🤔🤩🤩 that's interesting about Kiss of the Vampire 👍 I think ill try and watch it soon 🤞 cheers for the info DB 🤩🤩👍👍
Seems ‘68 is the release date, I had a book of horror as a kid said 66,. Anyway, watch all your stuff and costing a fortune (Arte Originale Arrow box sets of Argento, recently 😳, ha ha )
@DBZ5371 it's funny that some dates can fluctuate, Dr Caligari, I always thought it was 1919 but a lot of sites say 1920, some say 1919 😵💫🤣 thanks for watching DB 👍appreciate that and hopefully you got some of them in a sale 🤞🤞🤞🤩🤩🤩
Hi John like you I am a massive Hammer fan. If you want the Quatermass Xperiment. Shock video from Australia have released a stunning Blu ray / DVD set that includes 2 bonus movies Quatermass 2. And X the unknown . They have also released a brilliant Blu ray / DVD of Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter.. these 2 are well worth picking up.😎
Brilliant info Shaun 🤩🤩👍👍that's great to get the full Quatermass in one shot mate 😊😊👍👍 also captain Kronos is another one that really gets no love in the UK, so I'll be after those 👌 cheers Shaun 🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Vampire Lovers did get a 4k remaster but unfortunately only got a 1080p release. Hopefuly kino or severin or studio canal will release 4ks eventually,

Great video and Hammer collection.... I am about to start collecting the Hammer Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy - I would love to get them in 4K or even a Blu-ray complete collector set but something tells me with all the different studios involved and the cost that those sets are never going to happen and probably never going to get 4K releases...
Cheers Gordon 🤩🤩👍👍 good point mate!! Actually at the moment collecting a lot of the Hammer stuff (especially Frankenstein & Dracula) isn't too difficult (for the most part) I think it's easier at the moment than it was say 10 years ago, best thing about them is there isn't too many versions of these movies around so you can pick knowing you will get a great version, the first Frankenstein film The Curse of Frankenstein, get the US version as the UK version's picture quality isn't up to much!! Speaking of 4k I think your right, too many companies are going down the Hammer route and I would think only maybe the first Dracula might get the 4k treatment!! Saying that the blu rays can look pretty spectacular Gordon 😁😁👌👌 have a good time collecting them, shop around for good deals mate and Merry Christmas 🎅🎅🎄🎄🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 - can’t wait to see what you get as presents. You are definitely right about it being easy to collect Hammer right now - between Amazon US and Amazon UK I can get all the Dracula films on Blu-ray. The only one for some reason that is not available anymore on Blu-ray is Dracula has risen from the grave (which is one of my favorites) - is available for cheap on DVD, and there is one Blu-ray Media book I believe from Germany on eBay but they want over $50 for it.... i’m really hoping that someone re-releases that one Dracula film on Blu-ray would be a shame not to have a complete set...
@GordonKWaddell cheers Gordon 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah that one seems to be a but tricky at the moment mate, what I would probably advise you to do is pick the Frankenstein and Dracula ones off to avoid disappointment in the future and then you know if they go oop you won't gave the same problem, but keep a search going on UA-cam for Risen from the grave, I got mine really cheaply a while back and hopefully you can snag one cheaper if you keep an eye out on these (hopefully in the future it'll get a re release) the blu ray I have looks great by the way but its bare bones Gordon 🤩👍 if you get a version of it for under £20 I say go for it 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
What did you think of Kiss of the Vampire? I thought it was an amazing film, one of Hammer's best despite not having Messrs Cushing and Lee. Captain Kronos is a must, Caroline Munroe has never looked better - jaw droppingly beautiful in this film (even though she's jaw droppingly beautiful in every film, lol)...
great vid, someone has probably already said in the comments but a few hammer films were created two at a time to save money on sets etc. i always thought clegg and werewolf were a likely pair.
Thoroughly enjoyed this John, I have a few of these too, great collection and superb knowledge of the subject as well, wow you must have edited a lot out then lol, I’m going to have to watch again with a note pad 👍 take care mate👍😀👍
Thanks Alan 😊👍👍well I've been a fan of Hanmer since I was in nappies it feels 🤣🤣 yeah it was a nightmare to edit, kept making loads of mistakes and looked up the years, then thought, did I say 64 or 65, the redoing it 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤣🤣 glad this has helped you, if I can get more titles I might do a follow up sometime 🤔 cheers for watching Alan 😊😊👍👍
great vid john hammer movies great looking back on hammer great movies never had a lot of money but we look back with fondess uesd to be on itv years ago friday night fright dont see thease on tv mutch now tc steve
Cheers Steve 😁😁👍👍the ultimate Friday feeling knowing you would get a double dose of Hammer after school great memories and yeah, nothing like that on TV now mate 😔👍👍👍
Hi Steve, cheers mate we are all doing well, hope you and yours are good too 🤩👍👍 1917 is a movie I need to rewatch as well, great movie! Really well done 👏 🤩🤩👍👍
Hi David, thanks a lot for watching mate, if you go onto Wikipedia or Google and put in full list of Hammer movies, you will get every one they have released, also I think you will find a sub category for Horror as well....I think in total there is about 50 or so Hammer Horror movies (roughly) that's what I used David 🤩🤩👍👍 cheers again mate 😁😁👍👍
Hi John. Great video and Hammer collection. You can get Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed is on a US blu ray release. Have loved these films since I watched them when I was at school and like you have enjoyed collecting them on blu ray.
Cheers Roy 😊👌👌I thought FM be destroyed would be available somewhere mate, cheers for the heads up Roy 👌I was so happy when they announced Hammer was getting the blu ray treatment 😊😊 yeah part of growing up weren't they 😁😁👍👍
Always loved Hammer, I've built up my collection in recent years. I'm very lucky to have The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires on Blu ray, it's an American release. I love the idea of vampires and martial arts! Peter Cushing always elevates a film!
Hammer have always been a favourite of mine too 😁😁 the US release of 7 Golden Vampires was high on my list until it started going for silly money Ian, hope the UK gets one and they use the amazing original art for it 🤩 something about Vampires and Kung Fu! It really does work 👌 you see Peter Cushing in a movie and you always get your monetary worth 🤔😁😁👍👍
Loved the video John even though I’m not the biggest Hammer fan. One film that I do remember seeing years ago and liking, was Scream of Fear. I’m surprised that you didn’t include, or don’t have, their prehistoric outings. I think they made three.
Cheers Christopher 😁👍there are definitely a few out there I have to pick up and I pretty much know I'm going to love them all 🤩 funnily enough I found 2 in HMV the other day and one was 1million years bc but the slips were raggy so I left them.... but definitely after yhe prehistoric ones as I loved them back in the day 😁😁👍👍
Now there's a thing James!! 🤔🤔 I don't think I've ever read a book on Hammer, but I did read (and still have Horror books from the 70s that went into a lot of Hammer movies 👍 a really good one is a pictorial history of Horror movies by Dennis Gifford on Hamlyn books, from around 1974...... it can be found on ebay but I would imagine there has to be books on Hammer Horror itself....try Alan Scouser on here, he is a huge Hammer and book fan he might help you out more James 🤔🤩🤩 thanks mate love me a good Hammer movie 😁😁👌👌
Great collection John, some cracking filums there and some that bring back memories of when I used to stay up late watching Hammer horrors with my mum. Amicus have also done some great movies, do you have many of those? Cheers mate
Cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍I think everyone has that 70s/80s nostalgia of watching Hammer/Amicus/Tigon movies on a Friday night 🤩 maybe that's part of the draw of them 👍I haven't got too many Amicus filums unfortunately, although I rate them highly 🤩🤩👍👍
Hi John, That Kiss of the Vampire is well worth a watch. It has a really good creepy vibe and story. Also are you on Letterboxd mate so I can follow you on there. Absolutely awesome collection mate. Atb Andy H
Hi Andy, I'll take a look at it as it's been on the shelves for a bit now, good to hear it's a decent movie 🤩🤩👍👍 I'm not on letterboxed Andy, I think I might have set it up but have never done anything with it mate, sorry about that Andy 👍👍👍
Actually I was thinking that the other day, Hammer were supposed to be making a bit of a comeback a day then.............nothing 😵💫 yeah they might as well be back to the 70s when the ceased to produce stuff George 🤔🥴😁👍👍
My sister bought me a Hammer film ,but she said "You can't touch this",,,till Christmas😂 By the way John,i remember you saying you'd watched X...Have you seen the origin story Pearl yet? It's even better than X..It's a tribute to thirties films,horror films,and comedy..It get's really,really dark,and i have to say Mia Goth steals the show I haven't seen a better performance from a female actress for a long time..The mother is really good too I will say,i watched Causeway with Jennifer Lawrence,and that was excellent..Slow burner.. Also,i highly recommend On the Line with Mel Gibson
Gotta do what sis says but its hard not to if you know there is a movie somewhere with your name on it! 😵💫🤣 haven't seen Pearl but really interested in seeing it after watching X great to hear its good Barry 👍👍 haven't heard of the other 2 movies Barry 🤔🤔 cheers for the grear comment Barry 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies you're welcome John..Pearl is out on the 15th of this month..Always look forward to your new video's..Can't wait for another live stream🙂
I relied on Google to make this list to save time and it had this odd date on Devil Rides Out 😵💫 yeah I'm usually good with the dates, but these days I'm blaming age and eyesight a lot more Michael 🥸🤣🤣👍👍
I would just start with any you see in store and also take a look online to see what the prices are as some can be cheap some can be nuts!! 😲😲 also I would try and get your favourites first 👍 as for the Final Cut labels see if there is another company that's released them as there might be a better version out there 👍 research as much as you can online Richard 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies yes John, have to start somewhere, it's just daunting thinking of the cost in completing a collection like that. So many films and the thought of starting from scratch again only completed the Ha.mer collection on dVD only a couple of years ago and what that cost too, I'm still undecided about making the switch to Blu ray because I know once I get started I could get carried away. Ummmm.....????

Maybe go for your favourites or ones that have more extras or much better picture quality, check them out on blu ray .com as they usually give the best info! I agree that it's daunting taking on a new franchise in a new format 😵💫 if I had to make the jump to 4k for all of them I would feel the same Richard, I think if you do some research it will definitely help you in your quest if you want to do it! Some dvds might still be better on that format so you might not have to upgrade the full lot 🤞🤩 good luck mate 😁😁👍👍

Seems ‘68 is the release date, I had a book of horror as a kid said 66,.
Anyway, watch all your stuff and costing a fortune (Arte Originale Arrow box sets of Argento, recently 😳, ha ha )
@DBZ5371 it's funny that some dates can fluctuate, Dr Caligari, I always thought it was 1919 but a lot of sites say 1920, some say 1919 😵💫🤣 thanks for watching DB 👍appreciate that and hopefully you got some of them in a sale 🤞🤞🤞🤩🤩🤩
Some, I did, John. Tenebrae was difficult ironically, it disappeared overnight from everywhere 🙄 but did find one eventually 👍😊
Great, it's funny how Tenebrae was difficult, did you get the Creepers cover? Glad you got one 🤩🤩👌👌
Hi John like you I am a massive Hammer fan. If you want the Quatermass Xperiment. Shock video from Australia have released a stunning Blu ray / DVD set that includes 2 bonus movies Quatermass 2. And X the unknown . They have also released a brilliant Blu ray / DVD of Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter.. these 2 are well worth picking up.😎
Brilliant info Shaun 🤩🤩👍👍that's great to get the full Quatermass in one shot mate 😊😊👍👍 also captain Kronos is another one that really gets no love in the UK, so I'll be after those 👌 cheers Shaun 🤩🤩👍👍
Love this! 👊🏻
Thanks for watching David 😁😁👍👍
Hammer horror films are classics & I also have a lot of their blu rays.
Yeah Mark, classic is the word mate!! Usually the blu rays look amazing!! Wonder if they will make it onto 4k? 🤔🤩🤩🤩
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Vampire Lovers did get a 4k remaster but unfortunately only got a 1080p release. Hopefuly kino or severin or studio canal will release 4ks eventually,
Fingers crossed for that 🤞🤞 would be great to see what they can do with HDR and the Hammer colours 😊😊😊👌👌👌
The skull is about the marquis de Sade it's his skull apparently and is possessed good film from amicus.
Good info, I remember the Skull being freaky when I was a kid Gary, loved these old horror films, great story lines 🤩🤩👍👍

Cheers for watching Cheekster 🤩🤩👍👍
Brings back some great memories. Thanks for showing these films
I think Hammer movies is right up there for nostalgia value Johny 👌👌 cheers for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Great video and Hammer collection.... I am about to start collecting the Hammer Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy - I would love to get them in 4K or even a Blu-ray complete collector set but something tells me with all the different studios involved and the cost that those sets are never going to happen and probably never going to get 4K releases...
Cheers Gordon 🤩🤩👍👍 good point mate!! Actually at the moment collecting a lot of the Hammer stuff (especially Frankenstein & Dracula) isn't too difficult (for the most part) I think it's easier at the moment than it was say 10 years ago, best thing about them is there isn't too many versions of these movies around so you can pick knowing you will get a great version, the first Frankenstein film The Curse of Frankenstein, get the US version as the UK version's picture quality isn't up to much!! Speaking of 4k I think your right, too many companies are going down the Hammer route and I would think only maybe the first Dracula might get the 4k treatment!! Saying that the blu rays can look pretty spectacular Gordon 😁😁👌👌 have a good time collecting them, shop around for good deals mate and Merry Christmas 🎅🎅🎄🎄🤩🤩👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 - can’t wait to see what you get as presents. You are definitely right about it being easy to collect Hammer right now - between Amazon US and Amazon UK I can get all the Dracula films on Blu-ray. The only one for some reason that is not available anymore on Blu-ray is Dracula has risen from the grave (which is one of my favorites) - is available for cheap on DVD, and there is one Blu-ray Media book I believe from Germany on eBay but they want over $50 for it.... i’m really hoping that someone re-releases that one Dracula film on Blu-ray would be a shame not to have a complete set...
@GordonKWaddell cheers Gordon 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah that one seems to be a but tricky at the moment mate, what I would probably advise you to do is pick the Frankenstein and Dracula ones off to avoid disappointment in the future and then you know if they go oop you won't gave the same problem, but keep a search going on UA-cam for Risen from the grave, I got mine really cheaply a while back and hopefully you can snag one cheaper if you keep an eye out on these (hopefully in the future it'll get a re release) the blu ray I have looks great by the way but its bare bones Gordon 🤩👍 if you get a version of it for under £20 I say go for it 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
What did you think of Kiss of the Vampire? I thought it was an amazing film, one of Hammer's best despite not having Messrs Cushing and Lee. Captain Kronos is a must, Caroline Munroe has never looked better - jaw droppingly beautiful in this film (even though she's jaw droppingly beautiful in every film, lol)...
great vid, someone has probably already said in the comments but a few hammer films were created two at a time to save money on sets etc. i always thought clegg and werewolf were a likely pair.
Yeah David, Hammer were all about saving money 😁 good call with Clegg & and Werewolf 👍 wish they had made more Werewolf movies mate 🤔👍👍👍
Thoroughly enjoyed this John, I have a few of these too, great collection and superb knowledge of the subject as well, wow you must have edited a lot out then lol, I’m going to have to watch again with a note pad 👍 take care mate👍😀👍
Thanks Alan 😊👍👍well I've been a fan of Hanmer since I was in nappies it feels 🤣🤣 yeah it was a nightmare to edit, kept making loads of mistakes and looked up the years, then thought, did I say 64 or 65, the redoing it 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤣🤣 glad this has helped you, if I can get more titles I might do a follow up sometime 🤔 cheers for watching Alan 😊😊👍👍
Oh youve got second sights the mummy! So jealous! Now we need a ranking video of all your titles
It's a stunning set Mauricio 🤩🤩👍👍 I have a top ten Hammer video somewhere on my channel 🤔🤩🤩👍👍 cheers mate 😁
Fantastic collection my friend ❤
Thanks for watching Nos, I'm sure I'm passed the halfway mark but still a few to get 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
great vid john hammer movies great looking back on hammer great movies never had a lot of money but we look back with fondess uesd to be on itv years ago friday night fright dont see thease on tv mutch now tc steve
Cheers Steve 😁😁👍👍the ultimate Friday feeling knowing you would get a double dose of Hammer after school great memories and yeah, nothing like that on TV now mate 😔👍👍👍
hi john hope you and yours are ok as you said in one of your vids you want to rewatch some movies again cant wait to watch 1917 again tc steve
Hi Steve, cheers mate we are all doing well, hope you and yours are good too 🤩👍👍 1917 is a movie I need to rewatch as well, great movie! Really well done 👏 🤩🤩👍👍
Great video and great selection of horror hammer films
Thanks a lot Garry, love me Hammer movie mate 🤩🤩👍👍
hi John I have most of the hammer blu rays great watch really good video
Cheers Mike, great series of movies to pick up on blu ray!! 👏 one day we shall own them all 🤩🤩👍👍
Thanks loved the overview of the hammer collection, do you have a list? Really want to get all of these too!
Hi David, thanks a lot for watching mate, if you go onto Wikipedia or Google and put in full list of Hammer movies, you will get every one they have released, also I think you will find a sub category for Horror as well....I think in total there is about 50 or so Hammer Horror movies (roughly) that's what I used David 🤩🤩👍👍 cheers again mate 😁😁👍👍
Hi John. Great video and Hammer collection. You can get Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed is on a US blu ray release. Have loved these films since I watched them when I was at school and like you have enjoyed collecting them on blu ray.
Cheers Roy 😊👌👌I thought FM be destroyed would be available somewhere mate, cheers for the heads up Roy 👌I was so happy when they announced Hammer was getting the blu ray treatment 😊😊 yeah part of growing up weren't they 😁😁👍👍
Always loved Hammer, I've built up my collection in recent years. I'm very lucky to have The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires on Blu ray, it's an American release. I love the idea of vampires and martial arts! Peter Cushing always elevates a film!
Hammer have always been a favourite of mine too 😁😁 the US release of 7 Golden Vampires was high on my list until it started going for silly money Ian, hope the UK gets one and they use the amazing original art for it 🤩 something about Vampires and Kung Fu! It really does work 👌 you see Peter Cushing in a movie and you always get your monetary worth 🤔😁😁👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies Signal One are doing the 7 Golden Vampires. Can't wait!
I'm the same mate and hope it comes out soon 🤩🤩👍👍
Loved the video John even though I’m not the biggest Hammer fan. One film that I do remember seeing years ago and liking, was Scream of Fear.
I’m surprised that you didn’t include, or don’t have, their prehistoric outings. I think they made three.
Cheers Christopher 😁👍there are definitely a few out there I have to pick up and I pretty much know I'm going to love them all 🤩 funnily enough I found 2 in HMV the other day and one was 1million years bc but the slips were raggy so I left them.... but definitely after yhe prehistoric ones as I loved them back in the day 😁😁👍👍
I actually like Creatures the World Forgot and it's available from Indicator. That's one that I might pick up.
@@christopherwynne7665 that's a great movie that I will be definitely picking up as well Christopher 😁😁👍👍
Slight tangent, but can you recommend any decent books about Hammer horror films? Great collection by the way.
Now there's a thing James!! 🤔🤔 I don't think I've ever read a book on Hammer, but I did read (and still have Horror books from the 70s that went into a lot of Hammer movies 👍 a really good one is a pictorial history of Horror movies by Dennis Gifford on Hamlyn books, from around 1974...... it can be found on ebay but I would imagine there has to be books on Hammer Horror itself....try Alan Scouser on here, he is a huge Hammer and book fan he might help you out more James 🤔🤩🤩 thanks mate love me a good Hammer movie 😁😁👌👌
Great collection John, some cracking filums there and some that bring back memories of when I used to stay up late watching Hammer horrors with my mum. Amicus have also done some great movies, do you have many of those? Cheers mate
Cheers mate 🤩🤩👍👍I think everyone has that 70s/80s nostalgia of watching Hammer/Amicus/Tigon movies on a Friday night 🤩 maybe that's part of the draw of them 👍I haven't got too many Amicus filums unfortunately, although I rate them highly 🤩🤩👍👍
Hi John,
That Kiss of the Vampire is well worth a watch. It has a really good creepy vibe and story. Also are you on Letterboxd mate so I can follow you on there. Absolutely awesome collection mate.
Atb Andy H
Hi Andy, I'll take a look at it as it's been on the shelves for a bit now, good to hear it's a decent movie 🤩🤩👍👍 I'm not on letterboxed Andy, I think I might have set it up but have never done anything with it mate, sorry about that Andy 👍👍👍
Whatever happened to Hammer. Started releasing films from around 2010, but gone off the radar massively recently
Actually I was thinking that the other day, Hammer were supposed to be making a bit of a comeback a day then.............nothing 😵💫 yeah they might as well be back to the 70s when the ceased to produce stuff George 🤔🥴😁👍👍
My sister bought me a Hammer film ,but she said "You can't touch this",,,till Christmas😂
By the way John,i remember you saying you'd watched X...Have you seen the origin story Pearl yet?
It's even better than X..It's a tribute to thirties films,horror films,and comedy..It get's really,really dark,and i have to say Mia Goth steals the show
I haven't seen a better performance from a female actress for a long time..The mother is really good too
I will say,i watched Causeway with Jennifer Lawrence,and that was excellent..Slow burner..
Also,i highly recommend On the Line with Mel Gibson
Gotta do what sis says but its hard not to if you know there is a movie somewhere with your name on it! 😵💫🤣 haven't seen Pearl but really interested in seeing it after watching X great to hear its good Barry 👍👍 haven't heard of the other 2 movies Barry 🤔🤔 cheers for the grear comment Barry 😊😊👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies you're welcome John..Pearl is out on the 15th of this month..Always look forward to your new video's..Can't wait for another live stream🙂
Great to know Barry, thanks for these kind words mate! 😁😁 hopefully a live stream will be in the next week or so 🤞🤞🤩🤩👍👍
Good video
Cheers Danny, appreciate you watching mate 🤩🤩👌👌
The devil rides out was from 1967
Yeah Michael, researched that wrong......I blame Google 😉😁😁😁
@@MondoChelloveckMovies hello I always look at the bottom of the case I for release year
I relied on Google to make this list to save time and it had this odd date on Devil Rides Out 😵💫 yeah I'm usually good with the dates, but these days I'm blaming age and eyesight a lot more Michael 🥸🤣🤣👍👍
Don't like the fact that some of the covers are black and white, when Hammer were known for lavish technicolor.
Good point mate, yeah Hammer was all about colour weren't they 🤔😊😊 👍👍
Ah, the old hammer horrors..... I must upgrade my DVD hammer collection but where do I start...????
Great advice Brandon 😁😁 yeah it can be like a rabbit hole can't it, it's going to be pricey at times for sure 😵💫🤩👍
I would just start with any you see in store and also take a look online to see what the prices are as some can be cheap some can be nuts!! 😲😲 also I would try and get your favourites first 👍 as for the Final Cut labels see if there is another company that's released them as there might be a better version out there 👍 research as much as you can online Richard 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies yes John, have to start somewhere, it's just daunting thinking of the cost in completing a collection like that. So many films and the thought of starting from scratch again only completed the Ha.mer collection on dVD only a couple of years ago and what that cost too, I'm still undecided about making the switch to Blu ray because I know once I get started I could get carried away. Ummmm.....????

Maybe go for your favourites or ones that have more extras or much better picture quality, check them out on blu ray .com as they usually give the best info! I agree that it's daunting taking on a new franchise in a new format 😵💫 if I had to make the jump to 4k for all of them I would feel the same Richard, I think if you do some research it will definitely help you in your quest if you want to do it! Some dvds might still be better on that format so you might not have to upgrade the full lot 🤞🤩 good luck mate 😁😁👍👍
the lost continent is 78 i think
Cheers Michael 🤩 👍👍
