ANDREW GARVEY reviews Hammer’s only ever werewolf film

STEWART KING reviews Island of Terror (1966)

ADAM SCOVELL reviews The Mummy (1959)

Best of Hammer Dracula sequels – Christopher Lee creates menace without speaking a single word!

ADAM SCOVELL reviews the Hammer occult classic The Devil Rides Out

ADAM SCOVELL reviews Terence Fisher’s Hammer Horror – The Brides of Dracula (1960) with Peter Cushing

Wonderful idea, great to see female baddie, but never reaches its potential

I DARTED to our local shopping centre the minute its new video store opened in the late 1980s.

But the opening of Video Ezy brought forth the unimaginable – a pristine copy of Horror of Dracula!
