A stable of fine English actors, solid source material, and a truly-unnerving feeling of dread make 1965's  The Skull  a standout horror film that levitates above its limitations. There's a lot to appreciate with 1965's The Skull , from the cast, to the story, to the production itself. The film comes from Amicus, a studio that--for a time--stood toe-to-toe with Hammer Films as the pinnacle of British horror. This success was an ironic achievement, considering that Amicus was founded by two Americans working in the English film system. And while this movie doesn't quite have the Gothic grandeur that graces so many Hammer productions, it does excel through a story first penned by legendary genre-writer Robert Bloch (the author of Psycho ), outstanding cinematography, and a capital cast culled from Hammer's finest players.

Two latter-day Dracula movies from the legendary Hammer Films Productions are now on Blu-ray courtesy of Warner Archive!

There's no other studio quite like Hammer. Often imitated, never duplicated, Hammer dominated genre films from the late fifties all the way through the seventies with a unique English style and a stable of regular actors who would become household names to monster kids of multiple generations. They breathed new life (and fresh blood) into monster movies that had become relatively tame, and by putting their own decidedly-adult spin on the classics, they presented old favorites like Frankenstein, The Mummy, and yes, Dracula himself, in a way that not only felt fresh, but more explicitly scary than arguably ever before.

Horror Express is now out on Blu-ray from Arrow Video and Cereal At Midnight has your review! This cult classic film defies genres and walks among several of them: horror, science fiction, mystery, and action. With a killer (no pun intended) cast including Hammer Films stalwarts Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, not to mention Kojack himself, Telly Savalas, Horror Express is endlessly watchable and--most importantly--a ton of fun.

Stop! It's Hammer Time at Cereal At Midnight! In this loopy, goofy, off-the-rails video, your humble host shows off his latest acquisition, the Hammer Horror Ultimate Collection DVD box set, which includes 21 discs of prime Hammer goodness straight from the UK! We'll talk about Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, pagan queens and invading Romans, gothic shadows and foes from beyond the grave! You guys have asked for more horror videos, so this one's for you!
