Inside Hammer: Behind the Scenes at the Legendary Film Studio

by Jimmy Sangster, Freddie Francis (Foreword)

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 book, Sangster takes the reader inside the world of Hammer Studios in its heyday for the first time. Highlights include a foreword by Oscar-winning cinematographer Freddie Francis; previously unpublished extracts from early drafts of Sangster's scripts; Bury Him Darkly, a 1970 Sangster treatment for a Hammer Horror that was never made; and scores of previously unseen images from Sangster's private collection and the archives of Hammer Film Productions.
