Hmm, tough question maybe Le Vampyre (1913) had some nudity, you could shoot anything you wanted back then. Even death at a battlesite...so on so forth.

That would be worth checking into to see if infact Le Vampyre was the 1st to have nudity.

Ya it would, you'd be amazed by some of the things in film history that were firsts.

Classic I am always amazed at what movies came first in horror 1st Vampire movie 1st Werewolf movie 1st Mummy movie etc. And more often than not the movie you thought was the 1st wasnt.

Yup, that first cartoon was made in 1892-93 can you believe that??? Thats pretty amazing.

Just a wild guess classic but was the 1st cartoon a cartoon about a Dinosarur? I know the 1st Dinosaur movie was made back in 1915 titled The Dinosaur and the Missing Link. The movie was made by Willis O Brian. Warner Brothers bought the film from OBrian then hired him to help make The Lost World in 1925.

Hammer Horror
 

Hammer was got me into horror when I was about six years old and my Dad used to let me stay up and watch the Friday night horror movie on TV every week. Films like Dracula and The Devil Rides Out had such an impact on me that I've been a fan ever since, I'm now 37. Although watching the old Hammer films now doesn't have the same effect as it used to I will always have great memories of the excitement and anticipation of watching Hammer films from a small boy and into my teens. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are genuine movie legends and Hammer gave me my first sexual fantasy when watching Vampire Lovers for the first time. Ingrid Pitt to a fast developing 11 year old was truly amazing! There are too many great films to try and pick an all time favourite but apart from the ones Ihave already mentioned, other titles to leave a lasting impression on me are Taste The Blood Of Dracula and Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter. It's just a shame that there is nothing like Hammer in the modern day movie world today.

Hi LeeChallenger when did you see the Devil Rides Out on tv when you were a kid? I know your 37 years old and The Devil Rides Out a 1968 Hammer horror movie never came to theatres here in the USA. I only saw the Devil Rides Out on Tv just a few months ago on Turner Classic Movies. I was vey impressed by the movie and I think its far better than the Exorcist and the Omen combined. The Hammer movie that got me turned on was 1Million years BC with Raquel Welch oh yeah!! I saw that movie at the Drive in 1966 I was into Dinosaurs and my parents took me to see that.

"The Devil Rides Out" was hurt by the AWFUL effects though, esp that superimposed spider obviously climbing up a bit of glass!

There are a few things I really enjoyed about the Devil Rides Out one was the scene with the Devil. I liked how the Devil had a goat head that really looked wicked cool.

Hammer Horror (The Devil Rides Out)
 

To Gojira in Texas , as I was born in 1967 and The Devil Rides Out was shown on the BBC here in England during the mid-seventies that makes me about 8 or 9 when I saw it.Still a kid in my book. As well as the Friday night horror on commercial TV we were also lucky enough to have the Saturday night horror double bill on BBC 2. The first film would be a black and white classic from the thirties and forties such as a Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff movie.This would be followed by a colour movie such as a sixties/seventies Hammer or Amicus production. Even quite new films at the time such as Race With The Devil and The Crazies were shown.Those were the days ,eh!

Damn you Lee Challenger you lucky Bastard you got to see the Devil Rides Out on TV in England LOL Damn you I say Damn You LOL. That movie is pretty bitchin in my book I like it a great deal. I think you can get the Devil Rides Out on DVD at Movies Unlimited.

Re: Hammer Horror
 

I remember seeing Horror of Dracula when i was ten an i can remember loving it so much that i watched it twice more before i went to sleep...
Long live Chris Lee...the only dracula.

My favorite Hammer film is Taste the Blood of Dracula.

I agreeTaste the Blood of Dracula is one of the better Dracula movie by far. I liked how it shows 3 civic leaders who are thought of as being good pillars of the comunity are infact greedy evil people. Yeah that movie rocks.

Not least of which because of the great turn by Ralph Bates who should have been in for longer.

It's a deal :D

UMM yummy good I wouldnt mind eating Caroline Munro Alive oops did I say that outloud Again

Yes the first cartoon was with a dinosaur. But the first animation....was really early, I'm gonna do a little more studying then I'll tell you.

Wel the guy who probley invented animation was Frenchman Emil Reynaurd in 1877. He invented a machine called the Praxinscope and in 1882 he combined the use of the Praxinscope with a projector. Thomas Edison invented movies in 1891 and Frenchman Georges Melies made the 1st horror movie 5 years later in 1896.

Hammer comes back from the dead
 

Hi people,

As some of you may be aware we are a film production company that has just entered into an agreement with Hammer Film Productions to start making Hammer films again.

At present we are fund raising with a view to start production on the first film in April.

We'd love to hear from you to find out what you would want from a modern Hammer film, do you want to see remakes of the old classics or a more up-to-date horror such as The Grudge or Saw?

If any of you are interested in investing in these new films (and we know how flush with cash you all are) then you can get more information from our web site
http://www.harvestpictures3.co.uk

We'll also check back here for your response.

Hope to hear from you soon.

There are other territories - if you can recognise them (and we're not going to tell you what they are), perhaps you will knock out some decent movies.

Peace.

:cool:

I wouldnt mind seen a remake of the Creature from the Black Lagoon. but instead of the girl jumping in the lagoon in her swim suit in a remake she should go skinny dipping.

Re: Hammer comes back from the dead
 

Is this the organization Ingrid Pitt is involved with????

Re: Re: Hammer comes back from the dead

Re: Hammer comes back from the dead

ITS HAMMER TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Re: Re: Hammer comes back from the dead

we should be having one here in Toronto ... they always seem to get the same guys : Tom Savini and Kane Hodder ...

but thats cool ...eventually i'll have Savini's autograph on every damn thing i own..

Re: Hammer comes back from the dead
 

No.

If Harvest Pictures is serious about this venture, then perhaps resurrecting Hammer's "lost projects" would be a good place to start. At the very least, it would be a great anecdotal aside for this thread. I refer mostly to Jack Hunter's list in House of Horror.

Personally, I would love to see a return to period horror -- costume pieces with gothic sensibilities. That, and Ingrid Pitt cloned.

I want to see a hundred computer-generated Ingrid Pitts fighting Agent Smith.

Now there's one sequel to the Matrix that would actually be worth seeing!

Let's see. One hundred computer generated Ingrid Pitts X 2, um...

On a serious note, I actually got to meet Ingrid Pitt at a Horror con last summer and she was delightful. Proof that age cannot destroy true beauty.

Watch it n00b, you're talking about my woman!!!!!! :mad:

You got that right!!!!!!!!!!
