    Unseen Horrors: the Unmade Films of Hammer

    Unseen Horrors: The Unmade Films of Hammer Thesis submitted by Kieran Foster In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2019 Abstract This doctoral thesis is an industrial study of Hammer Film Productions, focusing specifically on the period of 1955-2000, and foregrounding the company’s unmade projects as primary case studies throughout. It represents a significant academic intervention by being the first sustained industry study to primarily utilise unmade projects. The study uses these projects to examine the evolving production strategies of Hammer throughout this period, and to demonstrate the methodological benefits of utilising unmade case studies in production histories. Chapter 1 introduces the study, and sets out the scope, context and structure of the work. Chapter 2 reviews the relevant literature, considering unmade films relation to studies in adaptation, screenwriting, directing and producing, as well as existing works on Hammer Films. Chapter 3 begins the chronological study of Hammer, with the company attempting to capitalise on recent successes in the mid-1950s with three ambitious projects that ultimately failed to make it into production – Milton Subotsky’s Frankenstein, the would-be television series Tales of Frankenstein and Richard Matheson’s The Night Creatures. Chapter 4 examines Hammer’s attempt to revitalise one of its most reliable franchises – Dracula, in response to declining American interest in the company. Notably, with a project entitled Kali Devil Bride of Dracula. Chapter 5 examines the unmade project Nessie, and how it demonstrates Hammer’s shift in production strategy in the late 1970s, as it moved away from a reliance on American finance and towards a more internationalised, piece-meal approach to funding.

    ammer was the first film production company to exploit the ‘adults only’ X certificate for the purpose of horror entertainment. Not that everybody in late H1950s Britain saw the company’s innovative brand of Grand Guignol as entertainment. Detached eyeballs, severed limbs and splashes of Eastmancolor gore were eminently censorable, leaving some films so compromised that modern audiences struggle to see what all the fuss was about. The film’s scores, however, usually escaped the attention of those who struggled to keep up with the pace of cultural change. Hammer’s production design was noted for its elegance, and the actors the company employed were commendably understated, but composers and conductors usually appreciated that there was little call for subtlety in Hammer’s underlying approach. The posters proclaimed that these films were designed to shock, and as soon as the house lights dimmed it was the job of the theme music to heighten that anticipation. In the early years of Hammer horror the scores commissioned by John Hollingsworth and written by the prolific James Bernard were bombastic, doom- laden affairs, establishing Bernard’s trademark of echoing the syllables of the film’s title in the musical phrasing of the theme. The most famous example of this approach can be heard in the score for Dracula (1958), elements of which would be reprised numerous times up to and including The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974). Bernard’s association with Hammer typecast him in the eyes of the snobbish film establishment, but under the baton of Hollingsworth’s successor, Philip Martell, he would prove his versatility with more lyrical themes for She (1965) and Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970).

Indeed, ancient Egyptian funeral rites, and embalming in particular, were only one of the earliest and most striking instances of an essential human drive to escape death and oblivion. The choice of this metaphor by Bazin can be explained by a common history as well as a number of shared features between Egyptology and the budding practice of filmmaking and film- watching at the end of the nineteenth century, as Antonia Lant argues in “The Curse of the Pharaoh, or How Cinema Contracted Egyptomania”.

    Fictions 1860-1950

    RSA JOURNAL 28/2017 SERGIO PEROSA Through Pictures and Mirrors: Fictions 1860-1950 In memoriam: Claudio Gorlier a life-long friend and colleague Portraits and Mirrors Portraits and mirrors feature extensively, and often centrally, as motifs or topoi in Gothic, ‘sensational’, and Victorian fiction, and in the first half of the 20th century. In the first instance, they appear as animated portraits, moving in or out of the frame with uncanny and perturbing effects; then as prophetic or tell-tale portraits, revealing the disquieting nature, fate, and future, of either the sitters, the artist, or both; eventually as ‘killing portraits,’ bringing death on account of the diabolic connotations traditionally associated with portraiture, and of an intrinsic, deadly opposition perceived or dramatized between art and life. In portraits, moreover, one can perceive or discover a potential double, an alter ego, a different self, or Doppelgänger. The mirror motif, in turn, can act as a troublesome interference, beginning with the legend of Narcissus, who falls in love with his own image or ‘double’ reflected in the water surface (aequor in Latin, or even better specchio d’acqua, in Italian), and wishing to embrace it, falls in and drowns. Conversely, in the myth of Perseus, the hero is saved from the mortal gaze of the Gorgon or Medusa, and can destroy her, by looking at her image reflected in a mirror – which can therefore possess a saving, rather than lethal, power. As Giulio Guidorizzi has noted, “The mirror can recall to its surface frightening figures … and evoke ghosts; the use of mirrors to generate alienating sensations is 192 SERGIO PEROSA recorded by Pausanias himself [2nd cent.

    Now in It's 30 Year 25Th

    Now in it’s 30th Year 25th - 27th October 2019 Welcome to the first progress report for our 30th festival. This annual event has become part of our lives and we would like to thank you all for the support you have shown. We have already lined up some great guests and we are working to add a few more surprises. Please let us know what you want to see and how you think we should celebrate three decades? Guests We are pleased to announce that the following guests have confirmed that they can attend (subject to work commitments). Dana Deirdre Pauline Peart Lawrence Costello Gordon Clark Gillespie 1 A message from the Festival’s Chairman As we reach the 30th anniversary of the annual event which has brought us both friendships and a weekend when we can usually park our 1990 brains in automatic control, I have been recently reminding myself of some of the highlights (and lowlights) of the Festival which has become a 1991 real part of my life. When we started I was a relatively young man of 43 and look at me now. I believe that some of the creatures/monsters that we have seen in 1992 the films we have watched over that period have probably kept their looks better than me but what the hell, I have enjoyed almost every minute of it. 1993 What does bother me is how Tony Edwards, who started the event older than me, now seems to have found the fountain of youth and 1994 looks younger than I do! Anyway, to the point, I hope that you all enjoy the coming event, and I am grateful for the 1995 positive response received from those attending Festival number 29 last year.
