HAMMER Films Launches New Brand HAMMER STUDIOS LTD. To Restore Classic Horror Films And Produce New Ones!

When the history of Horror is brought up and someone doesn’t bring up Hammer Horror, you have our permission to slap them. Hammer Horror produced some of the best examples of British horror there is and even did their own takes on classic monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Mummy.

Variety reports today that Hammer Films has joined forces with Network Distributing to form Hammer Studios Ltd., the latest evolution of the iconic British film production company.

Variety explains, “The new entity will manage and control Hammer’s interests in its vast library of content such as “The Woman in Black” (2012), “Let Me In” (2010), “Dracula” (1958), “The Abominable Snowman” (1957) and “The Quatermass Experiment” (1953).

“Hammer Studios will invest substantially both in restoration and new production development from both its owned and newly created IP.”

Network’s Tim Beddows said in a statement, “This partnership is a really exciting opportunity to merge Hammer’s amazing library with Network’s infrastructure. Whilst we work our way through restoring its entire back catalogue for future generations’ enjoyment, we’re equally excited about the development of new productions from the Hammer canon.”

Between 1955 and 1979, Hammer Horror dominated the box offices of the UK. With over 300 films to date, Hammer Horror is a must for any true horror fan to get into.
