For Hammer Films, the future is bright. But it’s not just bright red! Today at Hammer News we take a glimpse into the future and reveal a little of what lies ahead for fans of Hammer's back catalogue, beyond the crypts and the creatures of the night that have become so synonymous with the studio’s ethos.

It’s one of the most effective starts to any Hammer movie. A stormy evening. The sound of low thunder and the hooting of an unseen owl. A man furtively approaches a shack where a corpse lies supine across a wooden table. But when the inside door of the ramshackle home opens, we find a young girl entering, and we see what she sees...

There’s a rich tradition of Yuletide horror movies, stretching back to cinema’s silent era and classics like Körkarlen (1921), a remarkably pacy Swedish production that still retains the power to chill. So, what does Hammer bring to the (Christmas) party?
