Overview: An overview of Britain's most successful film company, with specific reference to their most prolific genre, horror movies.
This Project will look at a number of key areas in Hammer's impressive history:
* Birth of a Studio - the origins of the Hammer name, the personalities involved and their route to success.
* The Hammer Filmography - a complete list of Hammer's cinematic output from 1935 to 1978.
* The Stars - actors like Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, actresses such as Ingrid Pitt, Kate O'Mara and Valerie Leon, directors and writers including Terrence Fisher and Jimmy Sangster, all worked together to bring Hammer an individual quality.
* Hammer Horror - the genre the studio was best-known for, this is an overview of the key horror and fantasy films in the company's history.
* What Makes a Hammer Horror Movie - the elements that are recognisably Hammer, and a suggestion, based on these criteria, for the best Hammer horror film of all time.
* Hammer on TV - the television productions, including the successful anthology series Hammer House of Horror.
* Hammer Films: The Final Years - the eventual decline of Hammer.
* Hammer Today - having spent almost twenty years 'resting', can Hammer resurface as a major player in the horror market once again?
