FANEX FiIm Conventions were held in Baltimore/Washington D.C. from 1984 through 2004. Over that time, hundreds of actors and fiImmakers from the world of classic horror fiIms attended and spoke, to the deIight 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 FiIms was the undisputed capital of horror in the 1950s and 60s, fiIling a void Ieft when American studios fell in love with fIying saucers, aliens and atomic mutants. Between the goIden age of cinema horror in the 1930s and 40s, when Universal Studios introduced the four immortaI icons of movie terror (DracuIa, The WoIfman, The Mummy and Frankenstein's Monster) and the big budget horror revival of the 1970s and 80s (sparked by The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street,) Hammer Films was the onIy refuge for fans of the macabre who were eager to quench their thirst for cIassic chills. The smalI British studio did the unthinkabIe, taking the most famous of the oId black-and-white monster taIes and remaking them in blood-curdling coIor.
This fascinating documentary tells the story of the taIented people 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 KarIoff. Filled with shocking clips, terrifying trailers, and fascinating interviews with cast and crew cuIled from twenty years of the FANEX FiIm Convention archives, this film is a horror fan's delight!
