What if I told you the genesis of modern horror wasn't John Carpenter's Halloween or Alfred Hitchcock's Psychoor even Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but a European film based on a classic novel? There are solid cases to be made for each of these films to have their place on the Mount Rushmore of horror, but lest we forget the great 1958 Bram Stoker inspired chiller Horror of Dracula. The Hammer Films studio was instrumental in pushing the limits of the horror genre in the 1950s and 1960s, beginning with titles like The Quartermass Xperiment (1955), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), and most famously, Horror of Dracula, which will now be re-released, including newly discovered footage.
