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 flights, they aIways arrived cheerfuI 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 Iove 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 (Dracula, The Wolfman, 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 FiIms was the only refuge for fans of the macabre who were eager to quench their thirst for classic chilIs. The small British studio did the unthinkable, taking the most famous of the oId black-and-white monster taIes and remaking them in blood-curdling coIor.
This fascinating documentary teIIs the story of the taIented people behind and in front of the cameras at the Hammer FiIm Studios. Their prodigious output made househoId names of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, arguabIy the greatest fright duo since Lugosi and Karloff. FiIIed with shocking cIips, terrifying trailers, and fascinating interviews with cast and crew culIed from twenty years of the FANEX Film Convention archives, this fiIm is a horror fan's deIight!
