When you hear the words Hammer Films, you instantly conjure up
mental images of monsters and vampires. Behind the scenes was one
man working flat out to produce those wonderful creatures. That man
was Roy Ashton, and it was he who created all of the make-up
effects for mummies, werewolves and Gothic horrors. Greasepaint and
Gore takes a look into the props wardrobe and make up unit where
Ashton, long before computer technology existed, created his own
high standards of magical illusions. With an introduction from the
late Peter Cushing OBE, who had the opportunity to watch Roy Ashton
at work countless times (after all make-up can also make you look
glamorous as well as horrific), this is a demonstration of a true
professional at work. Greasepaint and Gore catalogues the largest
single collection of Hammer production artefacts in existence, and
is a must have for any horror. or indeed any film fan
