We're delighted to confirm that the next film to be restored and released as part of the ongoing Limited Collector's Edition range is The Abominable Snowman (1957). A stone cold classic (quite literally!) It stars Peter Cushing, was directed by Val Guest and written by the man behind Quatermass – the great Nigel Kneale.
It’s controversial, creepy and cool, and hagsploitation has once again been thrust into the spotlight with the restoration and release of Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1971). So to celebrate the film becoming part of the Hammer Presents range we’re wiping away the make-up and staring into the face of one of cinema’s most contentious categories and asking, whatever happened to hagsploitation?
On World Dracula Day (or as some people call it, May 26th) Hammer announced hugely exciting news: ‘This October, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are together again as Hammer’s original Dracula returns to cinemas and makes its worldwide home entertainment debut in stunning 4K.’
We needed to find out more so sat down with Hammer’s Steve Rogers to get the inside story on this very welcome return.
