A collection of five Hammer horror films from the 1960s. In 'The
Nanny' (1965), a nanny (Bette Davis) is hired to look after a
ten-year-old who has just returned from a mental institution. The
boy's mother has just been poisoned and he believes the nanny is to
blame. When his aunt arrives and hears the boy's accusations she
sides with the nanny, claiming the boy is making it all up.
'Dracula: Prince of Darkness' (1965) is the sequel to the 1958 film
'Dracula'. Four English tourists are holidaying in the Carpathians
when they meet the unconventional Father Sandor (Andrew Keir) at an
inn. He warns them to avoid the local castle if they value their
lives, but the next day the quartet find themselves stranded in the
mountains after their driver abandons them. When a driverless
carriage arrives they board it, intending to travel to the nearest
village. However, the carriage instead takes them to the very
castle which Sandor warned them against, where they are welcomed by
Klove (Philip Latham), sinister manservant of Count Dracula
(Christopher Lee). 'Quatermass and the Pit' (1967) is the Hammer
version of the popular TV series. When prehistoric skulls and the
remains of an alien spaceship are discovered in the bowels of
London's Underground during an excavation, a weird and powerful
force is unleashed, and Professor Quatermass (Keir) is called in to
investigate. 'Frankenstein Created Woman' is the sequel to the 1964
film 'Evil of Frankenstein'. The Baron (Peter Cushing) has taken up
residence with well-meaning inebriate Doctor Hertz (Thorley
Walters). When Hertz successfully revives Frankenstein after
freezing his body, the latter deduces that the human spirit does
not leave the body after death, and can therefore be transmuted
into another form. He gets the chance to prove his theory when his
young assistant, Hans, is hanged for a murder he did not commit,
and Hans' disfigured lover, Christina, commits suicide in despair.
After performing cosmetic surgery on Christina, the two scientists
successfully transfer Hans's spirit into her body. However, Hans
now sets out to take revenge on those responsible for his death.
Finally, in 'The Devil Rides Out' (1967), the Duc de Richleau (Lee)
is concerned by the disappearance of his young friend Simon
(Patrick Mower) from the social scene. Accompanied by former army
colleague Rex (Leon Greene), de Richleau discovers that Simon has
joined a group of Devil worshippers, led by the evil Mocata
(Charles Gray). Through de Richleau's attempts to wrest Simon from
Mocata's influence, Rex becomes romantically involved with Tanith,
another member of the cult.
