  • 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.

The air of seriousness with which the stories are told also helps to wash away any lingering disbelief felt by the audience. The casts of Twins of Evil and Vampire Circus, particularly Cushing, who attacked every role as though he were playing Hamlet at the Old Vic, clearly believed in what they were doing, and their obvious relish makes the viewer forget (for the most part) the pre- posterousness of the proceedings.

    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).

  • Chapter 1 Chapter 2
    Notes Chapter 1 1. I have analysed part of this series (texts by Ovid, Freud and Lacan) in an earlier article (de Nooy, 1991b). 2. I take ‘topos’ to refer not simply to a topic (such as twins) but to its embedding in a particular thematic arrangement or ‘place’ – conjoined twins, twins as sexual rivals, good and evil twins, the author and his twin/double, the incestu- ous twin couple, twins in enemy camps, twins separated at birth – which will tend to coincide with its occurrence in a particular genre. 3. The notion of retelling is not intended to imply that at some point of origin there exists a master-story, which is then reproduced in the form of versions of the original. Rather than assuming a hierarchy between renditions, I follow Barbara Herrnstein-Smith in understanding all stories as particular retellings, ‘constructed by someone in particular, on some occasion, for some purpose’ (1981: 167). Thus telling always involves some retelling, some gesture towards existing stories, and retelling entails both repetition and difference. 4. Rank’s ‘Der Doppelgänger’ was first published in 1914 and substantially revised in 1925. English (1971) and French (1973) translations exist. I shall refer to both on occasion, as the work translated in the French volume includes additional chapters, one of which is devoted to twinship (cf. the publication history detailed in Rank, 1971: vii–ix). 5. The relative coherence of the Romantic literature of the double – or at least of the established canon of works representing it – makes it possible to conceive of The Theme of The Double during this period: a singular theme of a paradoxically singular double.

  • The Representation of Transgressive Female Desire in Daughter Of
    43 ‘Unsettling the men’: the representation of transgressive female desire in Daughter of Darkness (Lance Comfort, 1948) Paul Mazey The British film Daughter of Darkness (1948) is remarkable in the way it depicts its female protagonist. Not only is she presented as a psychologically complex character who is both a serial killer and a victim of her own dark desires, but her unbridled sexuality is expressed in a surprisingly forthright manner. In a break with the traditions of 1940s British Gothic melodrama films, she is neither an innocent young girl used by powerful men, in the manner of Caroline (Jean Simmons) in Uncle Silas (1947), nor is she a villainous woman who, in the pursuit of pleasure and comfort, scandalises the conventions of the period, as Barbara (Margaret Lockwood) does in The Wicked Lady (1945). With the added immediacy of a contemporary time-frame, Daughter of Darkness presents an exploration of the repression and desire of its lead character with recourse to the modes of Gothic melodrama and Gothic horror. ‘Melodrama’ and ‘Gothic’ both evade clear definition as cinematic terms owing to their varied evolution through literary and theatrical traditions. As a theatrical form, melodrama is characterised by ‘a structure based on moral polarities, an appeal to excitement and the emotions’ (Barefoot 1994: 95). In cinema, the wider usage of the term has distilled primarily into a description of forms that prioritise feelings and emotion, typically in films aimed at a female audience, with female protagonists and concerns (Gledhill 1987: 33). When considering the problem of defining the Gothic, David Punter notes that, in literature, elements of a Gothic style emerge in a range of literary traditions (1980: 403).
