Over the course of three decades, Hammer redefined the classic legends of the mummy, the werewolf and the zombie. More than mere 'monster movies', these films were frightening new takes on familiar tales, complete with chilling scares, startling violence, and the one-of-a-kind visual style that became a worldwide Hammer trademark. Films included: Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971) / Captain Clegg (1962) / The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964) / Curse of the Werewolf (1961) / The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974) / The Mummy's Shroud (1967) / The Mummy (1959) / The Plague of the Zombies (1965).
