Narrated by Charles Gray.

May 1957: The Curse of Frankenstein shocked and delighted an unsuspecting public. Since then, Hammer has been synonymous with horror, and the overnight success of that movie established its creators as a dynamic force in the production of fantasy cinema. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and other stars and leading members of the production team recount the story of the company from its 'B feature' origins to international fame.

Featuring spine-chilling moments from Hammer's classic titles including: The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula, The Plague of the Zombies, Rasputin the Mad Monk, The Curse of the Werewolf and The Devil Rides Out.

(A season of Hammer Horrors begins on BBC2 tomorrow night with Dracula Prince of Darkness and The Evil of Frankenstein)
