"You can't go home again. You can't recover the past." Wolfe was right. So are you. But it's a fun diversion. If any studio seriously does plan on resurrecting the Hammer franchise, it will of course tarnish the memory. Especially since part of Hammer's charm was its Technicolor take on iconic monsters using classically trained actors and/or little known Eastern European beauties. Shocking then. Nostalgic now. What's the other oft-abused phrase? Can't catch lightning in a bottle twice? But let us have our fun. A man's escapes should exceed his taste or what's a forum for.
