Hammer Goes To Hell: The House of Horror's Unmade Films is a new book that does what it says on the tin!

Author Kieran Foster talks to David Saunderson about how he investigated the old documents and scripts in the Hammer archive at Leicester to discover what might have been.

What he's created is a fun and accessible book that describes the downfall of Hammer Films in the 1970s and how despite its amazing creativity, wasn't up to recreate the magic of previous years. It's a book for all lovers of Hammer and other horror films.
