  1. In the early 70s Hammer tried to breathe new life into their gothic horror cycle with some fascinating films that broke free of the rigid Hammer formula. Countess Dracula (1971) is one of their most successful efforts. Ingrid Pitt is terrific.

  2. Current reading: Slightly Foxed issue Winter 2020 (yes I have a bit of a backlog) and Kim Newman’s short book about Hammer’s Quatermass and the Pit movie.

  3. Peter Sasdy’s Countess Dracula (1971), based on the infamous real-life Hungarian Countess Erzsébet Báthory, believed to be the most horrific female serial killer in history.

    One of Hammer's most successful attempts to breathe new life into their gothic horror output.

    Ingrid Pitt is suitably gorgeous and evil.
