Hello Everyone,

Can anyone tell me which Hammer films have been released on Super 8? I've seen a few here and there but wasn't sure of the color/black & white and sound/silent options. I've seen-

The Gorgon (400 ft color/sound)
Taste the Blood of Dracula (200 ft color/silent)
Scars of Dracula (400 ft color/sound)
Revenge of Frankenstein (200 ft b&W/silent)
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (200 ft b&w/silent)

What else is out there and are any of the ones listed above as silent available with sound?

Ken Films released black & white
silent versions of:

Was there a release of VAMPIRE CIRCUS, or am I confusing it with TWINS OF EVIL?

Posted by Mike Newell (Member # 23) on June 01, 2019, 05:49 AM:

Vampire Circus was released as a 200ft, 400ft digests 4x400 mini feature all by Walton and Full length by Derann.

Thank you! I was actually just about to try to delete my question because I finally noticed VAMPIRE CIRCUS hiding in plain sight on the list above, but that info is quite helpful.

Curse of the Crimson Alter 2x400,was this a Hammer film? ,Mark.

No !

Posted by Brian Fretwell (Member # 4302) on June 03, 2019, 02:23 AM:

It was Curse of the Crimson Altar not Alter, though Derann second hand lists did often spell it Alter [Big Grin]

It was a Tigon film. The trailer was also released by Walton.

Posted by Mark Mander (Member # 340) on June 03, 2019, 03:45 AM:

Also released as The Crimson Cult in the US,I can spell that Brian [Big Grin]

Ha Ha,Mark.
