This week we cover the HAMMER wave of horror movies that reinvigorated the classic monsters. The Curse of Frankenstein, and Horror of Dracula breathed new life into a waning studio, and inspired a new generation of filmmakers. In PART 1, we go into some studio history, and dig on Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee as they join Terence Fisher in remaking classics.

The Rants Macabre is a podcast about all things horror. Don’t let the name fool you, we delve into the genre with sharp focus and deep production (think Radiolab about scary movies). Every month we tackle a new subject in horror and share our findings with each other. We want you to love scary movies as much as we do, so we don’t over-share plots, or give spoilers. Find us on Patreon for more original content.
