Customer Reviews for
Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein)
Hammer Horror Series DVD
The movies are as I remember them. Entertaining and no gratuitous violence. Don't go looking for great plot development. Some of it is pretty stupid: In "Brides of Dracula", what kind of stupid vampire would leave his worst enemy alive albeit slightly bitten and go fetch the pretty heroine so that he could bite her in front of his enemy instead of taking her just about any time he could have enroute back.
My only real complaint is that "curse of the werewolf" froze up right at the climactic end and no amount of wiping and cleaning could fix it.Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein)
Outstandingly Good!
The Hammer Horror Series was an excellent Purchase for me. I only viewed "The Phantom of The Opera"; (1962 version) However, the playback was very clear. This 1962 version was extremely hard to find so I was extraordinarily glad to have found it.Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein)
Hammer Horrors
The Hammer Film collection is a great 'must-get' DVD set, which include my favorites - Brides of Dracula & the Vampire's Kiss. I'm also glad that the set came in qith open/closed capition benefits. I'd love to see the Dracula, Prince of Darkness/Satanic Rites of Dracula duo equipped via those benefits for deaf & hearing-impairing fans like myself!Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein)
Take a second look at those lobby cards!
RE: The lobby cards reproduced on the inside of the gatefold cover of this DVD set: Has anyone other than myself noticed that the lobby card supposedly representing Hammer's 1962 "Phantom of the Opera" is actually from Universal's 1943 version (showing Claude Rains, in green mask, preparing to drop the chandelier on the audience). Someone in Universal's DVD dept. didn't do their homework, folks. (There must be something about the phantom which inspires confusion: The very same mistake was made in Howard Thompson's otherwise flawless 1970 book, "The New York Times Guide to Movies on Television", which is now lamentably out of print.)Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein)
Double sided DVDs are worthless
My DVD player will not play both sides of the recording. Two sided DVDs do not play right and never will. I would not buy this item.
I would give it a zero if I could.Hammer Horror Series (Brides of Dracula / Curse of the Werewolf / Phantom of the Opera (1962) / Paranoiac / Kiss of the Vampire / Nightmare / Night Creatures / Evil of Frankenstein)
