Hammer - The Studio That Dripped Blood: Part 1

A BBC documentary from 1987 tracing the history of Britan's famous Hammer studio. Interestingly, the title implies that the BBC was not immune from the common confusion between Hammer and Amicus; The House That Dripped Bood was an Amicus production.

Does anyone know what the movie is at 1:20, with the white demon and the guy on the crane? Saw that on TV as a kid and it terrified me.

I used to love watching these movies as a kid in the 70's. I especially enjoyed watching them in our friends 300 yr old house in the Kent countryside. We would be afraid to go up to bed afterwards.

Remember seeing this when it was first broadcast, in 1987. Followed by an amazing season of late-night Hammer double bills.

I wish this were available on dvd. Classic British House of Horror.

Tony Hinds is dryly funny when talking about his father. Not sure if that's intentional or not!
