- The Brides of Dracula (1960) And my very favorite Terence Fisher movie is the sequel to Horror of Dracula, that doesn’t feature Count Dracula at all.
- The Devil Rides Out (1968) One of Fisher’s later films (he stopped directing in 1974), this is the only film in which Christopher Lee plays the hero, and the first of their films to deal directly with Old Scratch himself, the Devil.
- The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) Hammer made over 20 movies about vampires, a dozen or so about monsters of all shapes and sizes, seven Frankenstein movies, a few mummy flicks, and even a couple about zombies, but they only ever made one werewolf movie.
- The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959) Of all the adaptations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous Sherlock Holmesstory, this one might be my favorite.
