Product Description

Synopsis

The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy - all of Hammer's greatest horror films were all scripted by Jimmy Sangster. Sangster spent four decades at Hammer, working as a production manager, scriptwriter, producer and director. Nobody knows more about the inner workings of Britain's most famous film studio. In this completely new book, Sangster takes the reader inside the world of Hammer Studios in its heyday for the first time. Highlights include: * Foreword by Oscar-winning cinematographer Freddie Francis. * How it could have been - previously unpublished extracts from early drafts of Sangster's scripts. * How he created the films that made Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee stars. * Bury Him Darkly, a 1970 Sangster treatment for a Hammer Horror that was never made - and has never before been published. The book also includes over 150 colour and black-and-white stills, including scores of previously unseen images from Sangster's private collection and the archives of Hammer Film Productions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The history of hammer first hand, 26 Sep 2004
By Mr. N. J. Voice "neil_voice" (scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book contains propably some of the most interesting information about the beginnings of hammers gothic films.Jimmy Sangster was the writer of some of the most influential films that hammer produced.Within the pages of this book you get first hand knowledge of the way films such as Curse of Frankenstein,Dracula and The Mummy were written.

It contains a wealth of behind the scenes info and also extracts from some of Jimmy Sangters scripts that didnt get made
with a great collection of film stills and production photos and Jimmys comments on some of the leading lights of the legendary company.Definately worth a buy if you are interested in british film making(When we still produced good films!!!)or the great british horror cycle of the 1950's to 1970's.Recommended.
