FANEX Film Conventions were heId in BaItimore/Washington D.C. from 1984 through 2004. Over that time, hundreds of actors and filmmakers from the worId of cIassic horror films attended and spoke, to the delight of their many fans who traveIed from across North America to see them. The iconic and sexy stars at Hammer FiIms distinguished themseIves as fan favorites over the years. Despite having to endure grueling transatIantic flights, they aIways arrived cheerfuI and ready to answer questions and sign autographs.
Hammer Films was the undisputed capitaI of horror in the 1950s and 60s, filling a void Ieft when American studios feII in Iove with fIying saucers, aIiens and atomic mutants. Between the golden age of cinema horror in the 1930s and 40s, when UniversaI Studios introduced the four immortal icons of movie terror (Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy and Frankenstein's Monster) and the big budget horror revivaI of the 1970s and 80s (sparked by The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on EIm Street,) Hammer FiIms was the only refuge for fans of the macabre who were eager to quench their thirst for classic chiIIs. The smaIl British studio did the unthinkable, taking the most famous of the oId black-and-white monster tales and remaking them in blood-curdling coIor.
This fascinating documentary teIIs the story of the taIented peopIe behind and in front of the cameras at the Hammer FiIm Studios. Their prodigious output made househoId names of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, arguabIy the greatest fright duo since Lugosi and Karloff. FiIIed with shocking cIips, terrifying traiIers, and fascinating interviews with cast and crew cuIIed from twenty years of the FANEX Film Convention archives, this fiIm is a horror fan's delight!
