The Devil Rides Out! That's a great classic

I love the hammer films, I have a handful - including odder ones like the Hound of the Baskervilles

hammer and amicus always have the perfect atmosphere for a good horror movie!

haha Such a fun video! I'd love to see more videos on Hammer. I'm really passionate about those movies, but it's hard for me to find people I like online talking much about them.

Well that sir was a mighty fine instalment and love, LOVE the love for Hammer... Watched many as a young one growing up as my folks would record them off of late night TV here in the UK for me (Dracula: Prince of Darkness being a personal favourite)! Keep up the good work sir and so happy to see the channel growing! :)

I agree Prince of Darkness is the best of the Hammer Dracula films even thur it gets no love! Plague of Zombies and The Devil Rides Out are two of my favorites as well.

Hammer Horror RULES !!

Great video/ set Heath! I have the older "cube" version of this and paid quite a bit more, lol. I like that this set fits better with other DVDs on a shelf. Such a great collection of films. Hopefully Hammer upgrades this full set to Blu-Ray soon.

I have the Blu-ray Legacy sets of the mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man. I had the dvd sets for the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Invisible Man, but I sold them when they announced the Legacy Blu sets of those. Then it came out that the Creature set is messed up and a replacement disc program is underway, so I’m holding off. I’ll probably just buy the corrected set and the invisible man set whenever that happens. I have the previous universal monsters box set, so then I would have everything. But I will say that I do feel like I’ve been punished by Universal for buying each of their Legacy sets along the way. I would rather have had the box set with everything all in one package and that exclusive booklet.

Hello. This is a lovely little channel. I live in England in the UK and we are very proud of our Hammer horror films. It’s always heartwarming to see how well they are appreciated across the pond in the USA. The cut-out section in the bottom of the DVD case was for a plastic security tag to be inserted. They are normally taken out at the cash out when the customer purchases the product. You got this for a very good price. Currently this is around £35, that’s as of October 2019 (which is about $45). Having not explored all your videos yet, I don’t know if you’re familiar with the Hammer House of Horror? It was a 13 part TV series shown in the UK in 1980. It’s really worth checking out if you can. Some of the story themes are lycanthropy, cannibalism, Satanism.

You are correct...the rights to Hammer are all over the place. I think Columbia bought the rights to the first couple of US releases, then Universal wanted a slice of Hammer pie when they were successful and their next release was a Frankenstein movie. Most of the major studios own the rights and some have fallen into public domain. I have a complete set of Hammer on DVD and it is literally three feet long sourced from every possible place; a few I had to get burnt onto DVD-R by the studios as they are not well known enough to be commercially viable. It's a nice idea to have a complete boxset, but it would cost a lot and a lawyer would get very rich sorting out all the rights issues.

@@CerealAtMidnight You probably know this, but that was supposed to be the start of a new franchise.

Hammer was struggling at the time so wanted sure-fire hits, abandonded any sequel and went back to Frankenstein and TV adaptations (Monster from Hell and Man About the House).
