The Hammer Story: Revised and Expanded Edition

The only authorised history of Hammer Films draws on exclusive access to the company´s archive of stills and paperwork to give the complete history of the company and its leading figures, a film-by-film analysis of its horror and fantasy titles, and the most complete Hammer filmography ever published. Established in 1934, Hammer Films is one of the most renowned and prolific independent production companies in the world. Hammer´s productions encompass almost every genre, but it remains best known for the groundbreaking reinvention of cinematic horror that was a phenomenon on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1950s.
