Hammer Horror to rise from the dead
Updated on 11 May 2007
Hammer Horror films are set to rise from the dead after the makers of Big Brother snapped up the British movie company.
Hammer productions was famous for its quality, low-budget films - often starring the likes of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
The movie house made cult flicks such as The Curse of Frankenstein and The Vampires Lovers, but now a new generation of Hammer Horror movies are likely to go into production.
The new owners have also acquired the Hammer group's 295-strong title library, including Hammer House of Horror film classics such as Dracula.
