On Sunday, 26th of August he will introduce each of three classic Hammer films, in FrightFest’s Rediscovery Screen. All the films have been lovingly restored to their original glory. This is a rare opportunity to see these cult favourites, looking their best, on the big screen.

The day starts off with a 12.50pm showing of The Mummy’s Shroud (1967), which was the final feature Hammer shot at Bray Studios.

One thought on “Introducing Hammer at FrightFest

  1. Many thanks to Kim for three great, fun intros, and for staying for at least two of the films, and for giving a Hammer goody bag to ‘the guy who’s a fan of Michael Ripper’ – much appreciated. What a great day Sunday was.
