Few films had a greater impact on the '60s than the unforgettable genre known as 'Hammer Glamours' epics that delivered their own singular vision of history—and especially pre-history—with liberal doses of both flesh and fantasy. With special effects as eye-popping as the actresses, these films created puberty's essential bridge between the thrill of cool monsters and the sensation of gorgeous women. Films included: Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971) / Creatures the World Forgot (1971) / The Lost Continent (1968) / One Million Years B.C. (1966) / SHE (1965) / The Vengeance of SHE (1968) / The Viking Queen (1967).
