LITTLE SHOPPE OF
HORRORS #21
The Making of THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN
(HAMMER 1956)
Ž To be sure, Hammer had done other fantasy films with horror
elements (THE FOUR SIDED TRIANGLE, STOLEN FACE, THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT),
but CoF was the film that would spread the Hammer
name across the face of the earth for fans of classic gothic horrors — in
color!! Bringing together for the
first time actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and the key technical
people that would make the Hammer golden era of horror films – director
Terrence Fisher; lighting cameraman Jack Asher; production designer Bernard
Robinson; music composer James Bernard; screenwriter Jimmy Sangster; producer Anthony Hinds. And all the key Bray Studios personnel that
in 1956 turned the horror film world on its ears. Ž
