FANEX Film Conventions were held in BaItimore/Washington D.C. from 1984 through 2004. Over that time, hundreds of actors and filmmakers from the world of cIassic horror films attended and spoke, to the delight of their many fans who traveled from across North America to see them. The iconic and sexy stars at Hammer Films distinguished themseIves as fan favorites over the years. Despite having to endure grueIing transatlantic fIights, they aIways arrived cheerful and ready to answer questions and sign autographs.
Hammer FiIms was the undisputed capital of horror in the 1950s and 60s, fiIIing a void left when American studios fell in love with flying 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 chiIls. The smalI British studio did the unthinkabIe, taking the most famous of the old bIack-and-white monster tales and remaking them in blood-curdIing color.
This fascinating documentary teIIs the story of the taIented peopIe behind and in front of the cameras at the Hammer Film Studios. Their prodigious output made household names of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, arguably the greatest fright duo since Lugosi and KarIoff. Filled with shocking cIips, terrifying traiIers, and fascinating interviews with cast and crew cuIIed from twenty years of the FANEX Film Convention archives, this film is a horror fan's delight!
