Horror cinema legends Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were made famous by starring in numerous Hammer films, like the six classic tales of terror which are included in the Hammer Horror DVD Collection. The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave, Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, Horror of Dracula, The Mummy and Taste the Blood of Dracula are some of my favorite thrillers, and to have them all in this DVD box set is fantastic. Christopher Lee (LORD OF THE RINGS) is the ultimate consummate villain, swathed in shadows and darkness. Peter Cushing (STAR WARS) plays the off-beat scientist role well in these timeless gems that fans of the genre would be very pleased with. Compared with today's lame attempts at horror, it's great to know that vampire movies made 40 years ago still have bite.

I like vampire movies especially the Dracula movies and I think its so darn cool that this DVD set has some of the Hammer Dracula movies on DVD but there are other Hammer horror movies on this DVD and thats cool but I want them to put out a boxset with all of the Hammer Dracula movies that they made and I mean every one of the Dracula movies and not just a select few so please put out a special Hammer Dracula movie DVD boxset!

Hving only seen "Curse Of Fankenstein" I am in no position to comment on the quality of the other discs in this box. But if "Curse" is any indicator, they must all not be quite what they should be. "Frankenstein" is framed at 1:85 when it should be 1;66, and some reels of the print are SEVERELY color-faded.
But no complaints about the film - having just been introduced to the Hammer horror universe, I can honestly say that I look forward to seeing everything else. In fact, I can't wait to get Hammered again!

finally a hammer films collection with top quality video making those old classics come to life! the great christopher lee and peter cushing created dozens of cheap horror films(mostly vampiric) together usually lee was the monster and cushing the professor in this collection you get dracula mummy frankenstein etc several of the best lee and cushing hammer films alltime with improved video! buy this and ship it before halloween for a real treat

This is an absolutely top-notch collection. The widescreen transfers are nearly flawless, with rich colors - far and away better than any previously video releases. My only beef (minor at that) are the lack of extra disk features. This is especially notable when you compare this set with the recent Universal Monster Legacy collection. That aside, viewing this collection makes it easy to see why Hammer was so popular in its day - high production values, great casts, great pictures. I am just hoping that Warners follows up this US set with a second one because on the Amazon UK site I noticed that there is another box set with lesser, but no less desirable, Hammer titles such as Scars of Dracula, Horror of Frankenstein, The Devil Rides Out, Lust for a Vampire and Blood from the Mummy's Tomb. It would be nice to have that one available in a Region 1 version...
