Description
Explores the production issues and cultural contexts of Hammer's unmade films
"Hammer Films is known the world over for its trailblazing, full colour, gothic horror films. Yet, despite its iconic status it failed to get many a project off the ground. In Hammer Goes to Hell, Kieran Foster explores a number of these projects. Drawing on new research, Foster offers a lively and engaging revisionist history bursting with new information and insight." -Johnny Walker, Author of Contemporary British Horror Cinema: Industry, Genre and Society and Editor of Hammer and Beyond: The British Horror Film.
Kieran Foster is a Teaching Associate in Film and Media Studies at the University of Nottingham. He was the Principal Investigator on an AHRC/M4C post-doctoral project that produced a live reading of the unmade Hammer script Vampirella (1975), staged before a capacity audience at the Regent Street Cinema in London in October 2019.
