Synopsis
The first three horror films produced by the renowned Hammer studios are presented here in one set. The collection includes THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA, and THE MUMMY.
THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN: Baron Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) sets out to revive the dead in a bizarre experiment. The result is a frightening creature (Christopher Lee) with a homicidal nature, who soon escapes and causes the deaths of many townsfolk. The film, which provides a terrifying twist on the famous Mary Shelley tale, leads up to a climactic confrontation between the monster and his maker.
DRACULA: This film marks the first retelling of the classic Bram Stoker novel in color. Adhering closer to the original tale than its many of successors, the story features Count Dracula (Christopher Lee) returning to the land of the living to claim his beloved Mina (Melissa Stribling). Meanwhile, the wise Doctor Van Helsing (Peter Cushing) attempts to destroy the ghoulish aristocrat. This fine rendition of the legend introduces Lee in an excellent portrayal of the title character, a role that the suave actor would reprise numerous times.
THE MUMMY: When British archeologists disturb an Egyptian tomb, they reawaken a powerful and deadly creature (Christopher Lee). A devotee to the ancient Egyptian gods brings the mummy to England after the archeologists, where he proceeds to wreak divine vengeance on the men, one after another. Soon the mummy sees a woman who may be the reincarnation of his long-lost princess (Yvonne Furneaux), leading to even more mayhem that only the woman's husband, John Banning (Peter Cushing), can stop. The film is a remake of the original 1932 classic.
