If your beloved pet cat witnessed your murder... would it take revenge on your behalf? In THE SHADOW OF THE CAT (1961), the answer is YES! This latest entry from Hammer Productions is directed by John Gilling and stars Andre Morell, Barbara Shelley, William Lucas and Bunkie as Tabitha the cat!

It's 17th February 1964 – You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' by The Righteous Brothers is at number one in the UK. Sir Alec Douglas-Home is Prime Minister, Beatlemania has erupted in the United States, Southampton has been granted city status (can you tell this script was running short?), and the Channel Tunnel Agreement was signed, with an estimated completion time of five years (though it would actually take 30). Meanwhile, at the cinema, released as a double feature with The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, is today's topic – The Gorgon.    Anthony Nelson Keys, one of four filmmaking sons of comedian Nelson "Bunch" Keys, is well-known in this parish for a number of topics we've discussed before, including Quatermass and the Pit (Ep 34) and The Reptile (Ep 19). He joined Hammer in 1956 as an associate producer, later becoming a producer and occasional screenwriter. Keys also served as General Manager of Bray Studios in the 1960s and eventually co-founded Charlemagne Productions with Christopher Lee—or should that be production (singular)? As we know, they managed only one film together: Nothing but the Night (covered in Episode 42).     Richard Pasco plays Paul Heitz. Late in his career, he starred as Tom Colley in The Watcher in the Woods, a favorite film from Ross's youth that we must cover one day. Before that, he played Cardinal Richelieu in the 1966 TV adaptation of The Three Musketeers and Dr. Boris Zargo in Rasputin: The Mad Monk.    #BigChrisLee appears as Professor Karl Meister, while his best buddy Peter Cushing plays Dr. Namaroff. Despite popular belief that they always worked together, the pair hadn't shared the screen in four years before this production began.    Barbara Shelley stars as Carla Hoffman. Born Barbara Teresa Kowin in 1932, Shelley appeared in over 100 films and TV series. She's celebrated for her roles in horror classics like Village of the Damned, Dracula: Prince of Darkness, Rasputin: The Mad Monk, and Quatermass and the Pit.    For the role of the monster, former ballerina Prudence Hyman was cast, as the creature was intended to float gracefully, almost like a wraith. (Spoiler alert!) Shelley had hoped to play her character's Gorgon form herself for continuity and even suggested using a special wig with live green garden snakes for realism. Unfortunately, the idea was rejected due to budget and time constraints. After seeing the disappointing Gorgon effects in the final cut, Keys admitted to Shelley that her suggestion might have been the better choice. As #BigChrisLee quipped, “The only thing wrong with The Gorgon is the Gorgon!”    Visually, this film is stunning, so let's give a shoutout to Michael Reed's cinematography and Bernard Robinson's production design. Michael Reed's CV includes Dracula: Prince of Darkness, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and five episodes of CITVs Press Gang. Meanwhile, Bernard Robinson designed some of Hammer's greatest productions, spanning from the very first to the last of their classic horror films.     Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Today Matt and Todd are joined by Mike McCarty to discuss a favorite from 1968. Quatermass and the Pit, (or, if you have the time, watch Five Million Years to Earth the USA title). Quatermass and the Pit (1968) stars: James Donald, Andrew Keir (as Quatermass), Barbara Shelley, and Julian Glover. Directed by Roy Ward Baker. Written by the legend of British Science Fiction: Nigel Kneale, Quatermass and the Pit takes you to a deep pit, excavated in the underground of a London Building. What is found within begins to warp the minds of all around it, causing fear and chaos. Quatermass and the Pit will be enjoyed by fans of Dr. Who, or movies like Halloween III, Prince of Darkness and Pandorum. This is a classic blend of sci-fi and horror. Already well-known by Mike and Matt, this was a first-watch for Todd and an instant classic. This is a great time, check it out. We couldn't find this streaming anywhere in the US, but the fantastic Blu Ray is available and alive with 60s London Nostalgia, I thought it was a nice clean print.

This time, we listened to and read Ringing the Changes by Robert Aickman. Robert Fordyce Aickman was an English conservationist and writer. As a conservationist, he played a key role in preserving and restoring England's inland canal system. As a writer, he is best known for his supernatural fiction, which he described as "strange stories."On his mother's side, Aickman was the grandson of the prolific Victorian novelist Richard Marsh. Marsh is known for his occult thriller The Beetle, a book as popular in its time as Bram Stoker's Dracula. Aickman is best known for his 48 "strange stories," published across eight volumes.Podcast favorite Jeremy Dyson has adapted Aickman's work in various forms. Listen to episode 8 for our most in-depth look at Jeremy's work. A musical version of Aickman's short story The Same Dog, co-written by Dyson and Joby Talbot, premiered in 2000 at the Barbican Concert Hall.In 2000, Dyson, along with his League of Gentlemen collaborator Mark Gatiss, adapted Ringing the Changes into a BBC Radio Four play, airing exactly twenty years after the CBC adaptation. This adaptation was intended to start a tradition of 'An Aickman Story for Halloween,' but unfortunately, it did not continue. Dyson also directed a 2002 short film based on Aickman's story The Cicerones, with Gatiss as the principal actor.It is this Dyson/Gatiss adaptation that we listened to for this episode. (Thanks to ‘Mysterious Magpie' for putting this up on YouTube so we could listen to it)The cast includes George Baker as Gerald. Baker is known for his roles in The Dam Busters as Flight Lieutenant D. J. H. Maltby, Tiberius in I, Claudius, D.C.I. Wexford in The Ruth Rendell Mysteries, Decider Logrin in the Doctor Who story Full Circle, and appearances in two James Bond films. Fiona Allen plays Phrynne. Allen is an actress and writer known for 24 Hour Party People, Smack the Pony, and Poirot. She has been married to Michael Parkinson since April 2001. This surprised Ross when writing this until he discovered it wasn't ‘That' Michael Parkinson (see episode 18 of this podcast for more about him). Instead, it's the patronymic son of the chat show legend, whom she met while he was working as a location manager on Smack the Pony. Confused? I am! Friend of the show Mark Gatiss appears as the Narrator and Mr. Pascoe, the landlord. Commandant Shortcroft is played by Michael Cochrane, known for his role in 280 episodes of The Archers, Arnold (Private Godfrey) Ridley in We're Doomed! The Dad's Army Story, and for playing three different characters in three different episodes of Heartbeat.Barbara Shelley plays Mrs. Pascoe. Known to our podcast listeners for her portrayal of Barbara Judd in the Hammer version of Quatermass and the Pit (reviewed in episode 34), she also starred in The Village of the Damned (which we need to review soon), Dracula: Prince of Darkness (one of the Dracula films we still need to cover), Rasputin: The Mad Monk, The Gorgon, and the 1958 Hammer wannabe Blood of the Vampire, written by Jimmy Sangster. She also appeared in both Blake's 7 and Doctor Who— as I'm sure James is dying to know, we can tell you she played Sorasta in Planet of Fire and was considered for the role of Tanha in Snakedance… but that's enough Doctor Who for now… Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

One of the most iconic production companies in the history of horror, Hammer's productions and various sequels and spin-offs of Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman and the mummy are not just beloved by generations of genre fans but have endured just as the Universal Studios monster films have and become a lauded part of cinema history. And Hammer didn't just do classic monsters! Some of their original films such as “The Devil Rides Out” and “Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter” showed that Hammer wasn't afraid to step outside their formula. Hammer also provided career-making roles for several of the genres most beloved stars with Christopher Lee's towering take on Dracula and Peter Cushing's often scene-stealing performances as Doctor Frankenstein and Van Helsing. The studio also had its share of dynamic leading ladies with legends such as Ingrid Pitt, Stephanie Beacham and Barbara Shelley. And that's barely scratching the surface. Our guest in this episode is one of Hammer's great leading ladies. And a Bond Girl. And a Scream Queen. Today we are joined by the radiant and brilliant, Caroline Munro. Caroline was one of few actors to be signed to a contract by Hammer, something that wasn't really a practice for the studio but they knew what they had with Caroline. An actor whose beauty is matched by her chops, her presence and her character.  Caroline discusses her approach to the acting process, what she learned by working off screen legends such as Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Richard Widmark, the insecurity that is possessed by almost all actors and stealing scenes at the Cannes Film Festival with the great Joe Spinell. Let's bare our fangs and get ready to dance on a Sunday with Caroline Munro!  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Quatermass and the Pit (or as it's known in the US ‘Five Million Years to Earth') is a 1967 British science fiction horror film from Hammer Film Productions, a sequel to the earlier Hammer films The Quatermass Xperiment and Quatermass 2 (see General Witchfinders episode 17 for more details). Like its predecessors it is based on a BBC Television serial, of the same name, written by Podcast hero Nigel Kneale. It was directed by Roy Ward Baker (who is responsible for such highs as A Night to Remember And such lows and The scars of Dracula and The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires - see episodes 28 and 31 respectively)  And this incarnation stars Andrew Keir (featured in Cleopatra, Dracula: Prince of Darkness and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.)  in the title role as Professor Bernard Quatermass, replacing Brian Donlevy, who played the role in the two earlier films. James Donald, Barbara Shelley (also in Dracula: Prince of Darkness and The Gorgon) and Julian Glover (whos been in some little known films called Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Empire strikes back, Games of thrones, several Doctor Who stories and load of other stuff including being the voice of a giant spider in Harry Potter) they appear in co-starring roles.Nigel Kneale wrote the first draft of the screenplay in 1961, but difficulties in attracting interest from American co-financiers meant the film did not go into production until 1967. The director, Roy Ward Baker, was chosen because of his experience with technically demanding productions such as A Night to Remember; this was the first of six films that he directed for Hammer. Andrew Keir, playing Quatermass, found making the film an unhappy experience, believing Baker had wanted Kenneth More to play the role. Owing to a lack of space, the film was shot at the MGM-British Studios in Elstree, Borehamwood, rather than Hammer's usual home at the time, which was the Associated British Studios, also in Elstree.The plot of the film verison was condensed to fit the shorter running time, the main casualty being the removal of a subplot involving a journalist named James Fullalove, and the climax was altered slightly to make it more cinematic. The setting for the pit was changed from a building site to the London Underground. The closing scene of the television version, in which Quatermass pleads with humanity to prevent Earth becoming the "second dead planet", was also dropped, in favour of a shot of Quatermass and Judd sitting alone amid the devastation wrought by the Martian spacecraft.The script was sent to John Trevelyan of the British Board of Film Censors in December 1966. Trevelyan replied that the film would require an X certificate and complained about the sound of the vibrations from the alien ship, the scenes of the Martian massacre, scenes of destruction and panic as the Martian influence takes hold and the image of the Devil.It has been suggested that Tobe Hooper's 1985 Lifeforce is largely a remake of Hammer's Quatermass and the Pit. In an interview, director Tobe Hooper discussed how Cannon Films gave him $25 million, free rein, and Colin Wilson's book The Space Vampires. Hooper then shares how giddy he was: "I thought I'd go back to my roots and make a 70mm Hammer film.Three decades on, Andrew Keir reprised the role of the Professor in "The Quatermass Memoirs", a five-part docudrama scripted by Nigel Kneale and transmitted on BBC Radio 3 in March 1996.

It's the conclusion to the Summer of Hammer, and it's time to get evil! And we're not talking regular evil, here. This is pure, ancient evil! Wait, is the devil on horseback? Well, no. You'll have to get your cowboys versus Satanists jollies, elsewhere. But Christopher Lee has finally arrived in the Summer of Hammer! And he's here to thwart a Satanic cult, while riding (in a car) headlong into battle against the Goat of Mendes, the devil himself! Saddle up for the spectacular western (not really), The Devil Rides Out (1968)! And then from there, hang on a second! Are Martians automatically evil? Hey look, we're just talking about what we see in the movies, okay? Professor Quatermass, who prefers to limit his notoriety to the United Kingdom, thank you, oversees an excavation in the London Underground. When a large, unearthly object is uncovered, supernatural events begin to occur. It's Quatermass versus ghosts? Possession? But are these plot devices of earthly origin? It's Quatermass time! The Summer of Hammer ends, in Quatermass and the Pit (1967)!

Tonight's episode is the 196th edition of THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT and was broadcast on December 21st, 2020. Tonight's episode continues our month long celebration of the films of two of horror's most revered names: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The Hammer house of horror was built on 1957's THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, starring Cushing as Baron Frankenstein and Lee as the creature, and 1958's DRACULA (released as HORROR OF DRACULA in the United States), which featured Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing and Lee in his iconic role as Count Dracula. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee would go on to appear in 22 films together and remained the closest of friends for the rest of their lives.  Tonight's first film is a 1964 gem from the Hammer house of horror, THE GORGON, an atmospheric creature feature that reunites Cushing and Lee with director Terence Fisher (THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA, THE MUMMY). The film also features Barbara Shelley and an excellent score from James Bernard, who had previously provided the music for both THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA.  The next film is HORROR EXPRESS, a British/Spanish production from 1972 that is a riff on John Campbell's classic sci-fi novella WHO GOES THERE, the story that would become the basis for THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD and John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece THE THING.  Tonight's sponsors include Reverend Rieger's Old Time Religion, Cozy Corner After Dark, Junior's Hoedown, and the Church Under The Bridge (located under the bridge downtown).

Die Filme des Hammer-Studios folgen fast alle einem ähnlichen Schema, trotzdem stechen einige von ihnen heraus. THE GORGON aus dem Jahre 1964 zählt zu diesen Perlen, und wir können auch gleich am Personal identifizieren, warum: vor der Kamera stehen die besten Schauspieler, die das Studio zu bieten hat: Christopher Lee schaut kurz vorbei, Peter Cushing und Barbara Shelley haben sogar tragende Rollen. Dahinter inszeniert zudem Hammers Regie-Meister Terence Fisher mit gewohnter Mischung aus Routine und Cleverness im Detail. Wir sprechen darüber, wieso der Film trotz seines ideologischen Ballasts aufgrund der zutiefst viktorianischen Horror-Geschichte, des nie gebrochenen Gothic-Horrors und der Tatsache, dass wir eigentlich von Anfang an wissen, was los ist, eine Menge Spaß macht: nämlich eben aufgrund der tollen Schauspieler, der routiniert-starken Regie, die aus sehr wenig sehr viel macht, und nicht zuletzt einem clever gebauten und umgesetzten Drehbuch.

Madeline Brumby returns and talks with Jim about about the 1960 Sci-Fi classic "Village Of The Damned," starring George Sanders, Barbara Shelley and Michael Gwynn. A small village in Great Britain  experiences a bizarre 2-hour period in which all living things black out. A few weeks later, twelve women in the village are found to be pregnant. The  children who are born exhibit some unusual characteristics. Find out all about it on this episode of "Monster Attack."

It's one of Jim's favorite Hammer Sci-Fi films as he recounts the impact "Five Million Years To Earth" (1967) had on his wanting to eb a filmmaker. The movie, which stars Andrew Keir, James Donald, Julian Glover and Barbara Shelley was directed by Roy Ward Baker and was the third of the popular "Quatermass" films. This "cerebral" film is the subject of Episode 86 of "Monster Attack."

Jim examines a 1964 Hammer Gothic, "The Gorgon," with roots in Greek mythology, starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Barbara Shelley and directed by Terence Fisher. A small town is plagued with a series of strange murders - all of the victims have been turned to stone. A professor and a young man, looking into his brother's death, uncover what looks to be a huge conspiracy. What is the town hiding? Find out on this episode of Monster Attack.

“Is there no limit to the power of these children?" John Wyndham’s 1957 novel “The Midwich Cuckoos” is the foundation for Wolf Rilla’s 1960 film “Village of the Damned.” It’s hard to say which title may actually be worse, but the story in both seems to work for most people. It’s a decent sci-fi story that, while dated, creates an interesting scenario with all the women in a village being impregnated at the same time by some alien force. Even with that interesting scenario, however, for every element that works in favor of the film, there seems to be another working against it. At least with today’s eyes. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Naughty Children series with Rilla’s 1960 film “Village of the Damned.” We talk about what works and what doesn’t, as well as why some of that matters more when it comes to actual enjoyment of the film (at least for Andy) and what they could have done to make it better. We chat about the performances, notably George Sanders, Barbara Shelley and Martin Stephens, and what they bring to the table. When it comes to Shelley, we also chat about the fact that her part is largely dismissed and why it bothers us so much. We discuss the look of the film with Rilla’s documentary approach as well as cinematographer Geoffrey Faithfull’s overall look, which worked nicely for us. And we look at MGM’s history with the film and touch on why they filmed it in England instead of Hollywood. It’s a fun film that, if you think too much about, you’ll find tons of problems; Pete sees the problems while Andy sees the fun. Check out the movie then tune in!

John Wyndham's 1957 novel “The Midwich Cuckoos” is the foundation for Wolf Rilla's 1960 film “Village of the Damned.” It's hard to say which title may actually be worse, but the story in both seems to work for most people. It's a decent sci-fi story that, while dated, creates an interesting scenario with all the women in a village being impregnated at the same time by some alien force. Even with that interesting scenario, however, for every element that works in favor of the film, there seems to be another working against it. At least with today's eyes. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Naughty Children series with Rilla's 1960 film “Village of the Damned.” We talk about what works and what doesn't, as well as why some of that matters more when it comes to actual enjoyment of the film (at least for Andy) and what they could have done to make it better. We chat about the performances, notably George Sanders, Barbara Shelley and Martin Stephens, and what they bring to the table. When it comes to Shelley, we also chat about the fact that her part is largely dismissed and why it bothers us so much. We discuss the look of the film with Rilla's documentary approach as well as cinematographer Geoffrey Faithfull's overall look, which worked nicely for us. And we look at MGM's history with the film and touch on why they filmed it in England instead of Hollywood. It's a fun film that, if you think too much about, you'll find tons of problems; Pete sees the problems while Andy sees the fun. Check out the movie then tune in! Film Sundries Script Transcript Original theatrical trailer Original poster artwork The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham Flickchart Trailers of the Week Andy's Trailer: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies — “I'm not really sure about this whole mashup thing — it's fun and all for a short period of time. I'm still not sure how well it could actually work for an entire feature film. That being said, I do love ‘Pride & Prejudice.' And I do love zombies… " Pete's Trailer: Hail, Caesar! — “The Coens are back with a blow-out cast musical that celebrates …ummm… movie musicals! ScarJo and ChaTa and JoBro? Yeah, this is my kind of movie. Of course, I liked Hudsucker."
