Product Information
The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy - all of Hammer's greatest horror films were all scripted by Jimmy Sangster. Sangster spent four decades at Hammer, working as a production manager, scriptwriter, producer and director. Nobody knows more about the inner workings of Britain's most famous film studio. In this completely new book, Sangster takes the reader inside the world of Hammer Studios in its heyday for the first time. Highlights include: * Foreword by Oscar-winning cinematographer Freddie Francis. * How it could have been - previously unpublished extracts from early drafts of Sangster's scripts. * How he created the films that made Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee stars. * Bury Him Darkly, a 1970 Sangster treatment for a Hammer Horror that was never made - and has never before been published. The book also includes over 150 colour and black-and-white stills, including scores of previously unseen images from Sangster's private collection and the archives of Hammer Film Productions.Product Identifiers
