Brides Of Dracula, The (1960) -- (Movie Clip) The Master's Waiting For You Van Helsing (Peter Cushing), rightly suspecting that servant Greta (Freda Jackson) is with the vampires, catches her coaching the freshly dead “village girl” (Marie Devereux) on rising from the grave, the priest (un-credited actor!) assisting after she transforms, in Hammer Films’ The Brides Of Dracula, 1960.
Horror Of Dracula (1958) -- (Movie Clip) Opening Two simple shots, the opening from Hammer Films’ Horror Of Dracula, 1958, only the studio’s second color horror film and the international hit that led to the studio’s commitment to the genre, starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
Horror Of Dracula (1958) -- (Movie Clip) Get Some Color Back Into Those Cheeks Without revealing that he’s a vampire hunter, Van Helsing (Peter Cushing, not seen here) has just told Arthur and Mina (Michael Gough, Melissa Stribling) of the death of Harker, fiancè to his sister Lucy (Carol Marsh), who has strangely taken ill, in Hammer Films’ Horror Of Dracula, 1958.

Horror Of Dracula (1958) -- (Movie Clip) I'm The New Librarian After readings from his diary that have not quite revealed his true purpose, Harker (John Van Eyssen) is greeted by a mysterious female (Valerie Gaunt), then his host, Christopher Lee (title character), in Hammer Films’ Horror Of Dracula, 1958, starring Peter Cushing.
Mummy, The (1959) -- (Movie Clip) The Great Karnak This pre-dates Johnny Carson's bit by maybe ten years, after English couriers fumbled the Egyptian tomb into the bog, Mehemet (George Pastell), who's followed the heroes from Egypt, summons the title character (Christopher Lee) to undertake revenge, in Hammer Films' The Mummy, 1959.
Mummy, The (1959) -- (Movie Clip) Such An Aura Of Menace Months after his fellow-Egyptologist father went bonkers after entering the tomb of an ancient princess, Banning (Peter Cushing) and his uncle and colleague (Raymond Huntley) seal the entrance, the local spook (George Pastell) already plotting revenge, in Hammer Films’ The Mummy. 1959.
