Quatermass and the pit - top stuff!!!

They should make a modern version called Quatermass and the Shit, or something...(hey it could be set underground again, in the sewer?)

It's out of print (or whatever the DVD equivalent is).

Then, of course, there was the porno version called "The Pubic Lice of Henry the Nonce".

....hahahaha! It's a-LIVE!!!!!!

> THESE GUYS AR UDNERAPRECATED [etc]

I probably could have said it less clearly, throwing in something about the futility of trying to recapture the spirit of Hammer horror (The Reptile!), eh -- what next? Remaking Ealing comedies? Carry On maybe even (oops)?, b

but then I can't be bothered --- I have my just-arrived telescopic magnet-on-a-stick (with LED light!) to play w^h^h^h^h^h^h retrieve dropped screws from my desktop chassis.

You guys never heard of TPB??? Sheesh...

Have you tried to Torrent it?

Mines the one with Limewire in the pocket.

Low cut heaving cleavages with heavy breathing.

Excuse me while I have an Otto Chriek moment.

I still like the Hammer House of Horror productions. There is a slightly campy quyality to them despite having some of the biggest names in the genre in them. Horror movies now just seems to compete in how much blood they can fill the set with. No style.

Mine is the one with the plastic, glow in the dark vampire teeth.

Hammer Films...a British classic. No one thought ANYone could replace Lugosi until Lee (feral and predatory) showed his pearlies. And don't forget the collaboration with Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers studios, "Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires," with Peter Cushing and David Chiang battling Chinese vamps in the then-Brit Colony (with Julie Ege as eye-candy).

Still, the question remains, and I throw it as a gauntlet to readers of El Reg:

Ingrid Pitt? Or Barbara Shelley?

@ JIM THE BOSS. Yes you do type and spell like a boss, don't you?

I reckon Paris could have a role in one of those pagan burning cross/wicker type scenes.

All the vampire films bring back...uh exciting - memories. Horror movies today lack style but I suppose that makes me old.

Why is it that British people can't let things die in peace & have to keep "reviving" things which should have died a natural death long ago?

Hammer's films might have been good in their day, but they were already dated twenty years ago when the "Hammer House of Horror" TV series came out 25 years ago (that was a TV series by the way, nothing much to do with the films).

Perhaps something along the lines of a vengeful old vampire hunting down a shabby, hairy, movie director with a dodgy grasp of editing?

Come to think of it, Peter Jackson would be perfect for playing Drac's more-or-less human familiar. :D

No vampire bat, so toss-up between vulture and Steve Ballmer.

Finally!

A horror film I can get my teeth into!

Mines the one with the foldout vampire wings.
