Back in December when we unveiled Hammer Presents, Steve Rogers ended our conversation about the range by assuring us it was ‘only the beginning’. Turns out that was an understatement. Already in 2026 we’ve had news that an array of Hammer soundtracks, remastered and available on vinyl, will soon be available, beginning with music from The Curse of Frankenstein (1957).
And now we’re delighted to confirm another major new range. The House of Hammer represents ‘a massive undertaking’ that will see a succession of Blu-rays and accompanying booklets released on a regular basis, providing archive rarities, brand new, bespoke programmes and lavishly illustrated, in-depth articles.
The Academy Awards are almost upon us, which means we’re locked into that annual jamboree of bold predictions, finger crossing for your favourites and a never-ending stream of articles about Timothée Chalamet’s chances of finally picking up an Oscar. Or not.
But this year we have something new. Horror fans rejoice! Because whatever happens on the 15th, our time is now! Sinners (2025), Frankenstein (2025) and Bugonia (2025) are just three of the films flying the flag for a genre that’s not always triumphed come awards season. And so as we approach the finale of the 2026 awards season, we’re taking a look at what the nominations mean for horror movies and audiences who love them…
We’re delighted to confirm the release of two atmospheric and wildly different horror movies from the early 1960s. Doctor Blood’s Coffin (1961) and The Snake Woman (1961) are a brace of belters, both directed by Sidney J. Furie who went on to helm The Ipcress File (1965) and The Entity (1981), which Martin Scorsese called one of ‘the scariest movies of all time’. These earlier works have now been restored in 2K and come with a raft of bespoke additional material. Hammer News looks into these latest releases and brings you the inside info from the ‘Keeper of the Crypt’, Steve Rogers…
One of the joys of the Limited Collector's Edition Range is discovering actors in Hammer films whose involvement comes as a welcome surprise. Sometimes their role shows off a side to their skills that’s been largely forgotten, whilst occasionally the mere sight of them can trigger a delighted, ‘Look who it is!’ moment. And so in tribute to all those stars who’ve lit up the screen with their unanticipated presence, we’re shining a light on cast members that viewers might not have expected to find in a Hammer production.
As we celebrate the upcoming 4K restoration and release of Dracula (1958) we’re re-examining the film itself and its enduring legacy. This two-part feature traces the genesis and evolution of Dracula’s fangs, and how they came to be so central to our vision of the character.
