For two decades (mid-50s thru 70's) ravenous horror fans were served a gore-met feast of Grand Guignol by the British studio Hammer Films. They re-introduced Frankenstein and Dracula to audiences (in bloody technicolor) and launched the careers of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Hammer dominated horror cinema worldwide with their particular blend of gothic atmosphere, a little bit of blood, sex appeal and glamour. Hammer Glamour is an affectionate term used to describe the damsels in distress and femme-fatales that graced the studios films through the years.
Every week I'm going to post some Hammer Glamour, begining with that voluptuous vamp Ingrid Pitt...
