Full Description

This collection offers close readings on Hammer's cycle of horror films, analysing key films and placing particular emphasis on the narratives and themes present in the works discussed.

Ranging from the studio's first horror outing, The Mystery of the Mary Celeste (1935) to Hammer's last contemporary film, Doctor Jekyll (2023), the collection celebrates cult-favourites such as The Quatermass Experiment, the films of Terence Fisher, to overlooked classics such as Captain Clegg or The Mummy franchise. This volume also delves into Hammer's psychological thrillers, the studio's venture into TV with Hammer's House of Horrors, with theoretical frameworks varying from queer studies to postcolonial readings.

This volume will appeal to scholars and students of film studies, international cinema, film history and horror studies.
