Hammer Films were almost as well known for the way in which they sold their films, as for the films themselves. This title collects the company's iconic movie posters, and celebrates the movie art at its best. It brings together hundreds of posters from around the world, and features Hammer's greatest films.

The only authorised history of Hammer Films draws on exclusive access to the company's archive of stills and paperwork to give the complete history of the company and its leading figures, a film-by-film analysis of its horror and fantasy titles, and the most complete Hammer filmography ever published. Nearly seventy years ago, Hammer Films released their very first horror movie, The Quatermass Xperiment. The now-legendary British company went on to make such classics as The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula (and their many sequels), making international stars out of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, changing the face of horror cinema, and inspiring a generation of Hollywood filmmakers, including the likes of George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton. Featuring a design refresh, this new version of The Hammer Story will include 32 additional pages and continue the story of Hammer Films as they came back from the dead in 2007 and began producing new horror films for a modern audience.

From Hammer Films' 1934 incorporation documents to promotional material from the 2011 release "The Resident", this title tells the story of the company.

Packed with previously unpublished material, this book includes prop photos, design sketches, production memos and other collectible memorabilia.

Tracing their progress from sharp-suited mods to psychedelic stars and pioneers of the rock opera through images of the band on the road, recording TV shows, performing at Monterey and the Isle of Wight, and in venues including Wembley Stadium, this title contains over 160 images of The Who.

Celebrates Hammer's female stars, including Ingrid Pitt, Martine Beswick, Caroline Munro, Barbara Shelley, Joanna Lumley, Nastassja Kinski, and Raquel Welch.
