Women of Hammer Horror

Posted by David Pescovitz, April 28, 2008 10:30 AM | permalink

Hammer Film Productions is a UK-based horror film company that made a slew of cheap but great horror films in the 60s and 70s. Their Dracula, Frankenstein, and Mummy series are classic. Flickr user Poletti has posted screengrabs of more than 100 female stars featured in the Hammer Films. The Flickr set is titled "Hammer House of Hotness." Link (Thanks, COOP!)

Just think, all of these women divided between Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. What fun times!

My personal Hammer favorite - Rasputin the Mad Monk.

Not bad, but I wonder if any casting people have ever had a better eye for good-looking women (who also often proved to be good actors) than those at "The Rockford Files." The list of successful "I saw her first on 'Rockford'" actors is pretty impressive. (Not bad for the men, either, starting with Tom Selleck--though the strength there tends toward character actors rather than leading men.)

I'm extremely surprised to see that the most obvious and by far the most famous example of Hammer Hotness appears to be missing?!?! Who could possibly forget such an image in such a list?!?

The nerd in me can't help but wonder how many women are in both lists. Instantly Susan Denberg came to mind.

Is this the girl (er - I mean female scientist) from Quatermass and the Pit?

I didn't recognize the boobieliscious Catherine Bach from any of those thumbs, and I don't care enough to click the link.
