Hammer Horror’s "Hound”

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the closest that Arthur Conan Doyle comes to writing a real supernatural horror story (in his Holmes tales anyway) and one adaptation stands above the rest by truly committing to that idea. Happy Halloween and welcome to our case file on Hammer Film’s Hound of the Baskervilles!

Released in 1959 by Hammer Film Ltd., this horror-ified take on Doyle's classic story wasn't a commercial success at the time, but has gained cult status for its star-studded cast, moody scenic design, and over-the-top movie posters.

Never Has The Night Known A Beast Like… a great dane wearing a mask?

We talk about our love for old horror movies, Dracula on Dracula, and why it's so much fun to see lauded villain-playing, opera and heavy metal singing, Nazi-stabbing English acting legend Sir Christopher Lee... be the damsel in distress. Beware the moors… and Happy Halloween!
