I was lucky enough to see some of the 60s hammer films when they were in theaters, and caught others on tv, still others on video.
Horror of Dracula (1958) is a vampire movie so good it makes later movies of the same subject look sick. Compare its economy of plotting and effects with a baroque overstuffed film like Coppola's Dracula.
I am currently working on a critique of the deservedly lesser-known Hammer film ---- for a vampire. When it's finished, I'll figure out what to do with it.
Favorites: Old Universal horror films
Directors Paul Naschy, Jess Franco, Joseph Larraz, Jean Rollin, Michele Soavi.
Campy sixties crud like "The Corpse Grinders."
That's enough for a start.
