Re: A Return To 70s Hammer/Amicus mayhem..

Here are a few questions about British horror films from the 1960s and 1970s. I have cast the net a bit wider to include films from smaller companies.


1. In which film was Peter Cushing's character's hand cut off to prevent him suffering a worse fate?

2. In which film was there a 'werewolf break'.

3. Which Hammer starlet was the Lamb's Navy Rum girl?

4. Which Hammer leading man of later productions starred in a successful BBC sitcom in the 1980s?

5. Synopsis: A surgeon carries out horrific murders to help him with restoring his fiancee's beauty. What was the film?

6. Which Hammer film was based on a story by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu?

7. In which film did a group of four people investigate a haunted house? Hints: There are connections to Planet of the Apes and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

8. In which film did the character 'Johnny Alucard' play an important role?

It is one of the Amicus anthologies.

Spot on. Hands of the Ripper, Hammer, 1971. Jack the Ripper's toddler daughter witnesses him slaughter her mother. As a grown woman she is possessed by the spirit of her father and continues his killing spree. Angharad Rees played Annna, our female JTR. The climax takes place in the Whispering Gallery of St. Paul's. A fine later Hammer with buckets of gore--well recommended.

This one?

Something to do with Jack the Ripper. Edward de Souza was the male lead from memory. Am I on correct track?

You are on the right track with Jack the Ripper, but Edward De Souza wasn't in it, I'm afraid. As a clue, the climax landmark has a certain area associated with whispering.

Okay, here's a brief description of a British horror film from the 60s or 70s:

A young woman, possessed by the spirit of a murderer, commits further gory killings in Victorian London. The climax takes place at a famous landmark.

What was the film?

The Blood Beast Terror.

Yep. Post one friend.

No one know this? The great Cush was in it. Concerns a flying insect. Does that help.

Shall I post another. I may also add Tigon Films to this game as there were some fine films from that studio too.
Here is one.

Well done.
The film you asked about is 'The Satanic Rites of Dracula'
I think it's the scene where Dracula is dead and alive! Under a glacier. That particular footage gave me nightmares as a child.

I t is indeed Satanic Rites.... No it is the scene when Van Helsing leads Drac into a bush of the same thorn that Jesus wore on the cross. That was a a new one on me to kill the blood sucker.
