REMEMBERING ANTHONY HINDS : THE MAN WHO BUILT THE HOUSE OF HAMMER


#frankensteinfriday: Today, the nineteenth of September we remember the late ANTHONY HINDS, who sadly left us last year... today he would have been his 93rd birthday. For many Hammer film fans, Hinds represents the 'Golden Years' of the studios output and production. Producer and script writer, he was responsible for some of Peter Cushing's most revered work in the fantasy genre.

In Hammer's early days, it was Hinds idea to hire country houses and to based the production and shooting in the rooms and grounds of the locations, which saved the the studio huge production costs. His script writing skills, have been picked over by many, but few could doubt his skill in managing tight budgets, and building impressive productions, with very limited resources and finance...and for this, he was indeed, the 'Master Builder and Architect of Hammer films'...and for that, we are very grateful.....
