Search the darker corners of Hammer Horror and discover the myriad bloodsuckers waiting to emerge from Dracula’s shadow, with the signed edition of The Hammer Vampire Films. In a sumptuously presented 84-page luxury publication packed with wonderfully restored stills and featuring an introduction by award-winning screenwriter, playwright and Hammer vampire devotee John Logan, we explore Hammer’s wider vampire culture with a retrospective on the studio’s many movie vampires, and those who battled them. Whether at the centre of evocative mythologies or stand-alone adventures, these fiends and their adversaries were as much a part of Hammer Horror as their headline-grabbing counterparts.

The world of Hammer Horror is a wide-ranging one indeed, with all manner of monsters stalking the big screen in its name. Yet while the studio’s movies offered horror fans a rich variety of material and a diverse array of terrors, vampires remain a cornerstone of its output. And while Dracula would without doubt become the best known of the coffin-dwelling, sunlight-shunning revenants, a wealth of lesser-recognised creatures have been sinking their fangs into our grateful consciousness for years. The signed edition of The Hammer Vampire Films traces the evolution and development of the studio’s vampire movies such as The Kiss of the Vampire, Twins of Evil and Vampire Circus, celebrating the wider family of vampires with the combination of nostalgia and informative commentary that makes Classic Monsters publications so special.

This full colour collector’s item signed Hammer vampire film magazine is your ideal guide for another trip to the desolate forests and ancestral castles that characterise the studio’s vampire movies. Presented to A4 size (210mm x 297mm) with a perfect square bound format, the signed edition of The Hammer Vampire Films is a luxurious magazine guide like nothing else out there. Beyond the sturdy shimmering gloss cover, you’ll discover inner pages printed on fine silk stock paper, with a crisp, unfussy design that makes each page a joy to behold.

Of course, one of the most immediately striking aspects of the signed edition of The Hammer Vampire Films is its imagery, and there’s so much to enjoy here. Classic Monsters publications are renowned for image quality, and this signed Hammer Horror vampire movie magazine is no exception. Every still, poster and piece of artwork is carefully chosen and meticulously restored to look its absolute best, giving you a uniquely beautiful window into the ever-intriguing world of Hammer vampires. Using full colour print processes throughout, we print every still using the full range of ink colours, meaning that even black and white stills have the depth and variety of tones that monochrome printing simply can’t achieve.

Within the signed edition of The Hammer Vampire Films, you’ll rediscover the magic of Hammer’s many vampire tales and their enduring cultural significance. The combination of real-world folklore with social commentary, dark humour and some pretty daring creative twists meant that vampires were far more than simple bloodsucking aristocrats. From the decadent beauty of The Brides of Dracula, through the quasi-historical chills of Countess Dracula to the swashbuckling adventure of Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter, there’s never any shortage of variety in this particular genre; this signed Hammer vampire film magazine showcases the many approaches the studio took over the years.

Vampires are also nothing if not adaptable, so you’ll see how each film reflected Hammer’s style and fortunes, moving from sinister mystery to voluptuous exploitation in line with changing audience tastes and giving rise to some of cinema’s most iconic vampire movie moments in the process. Whether your interest is in majestic Gothic opulence or raw blood-soaked terror, this signed Hammer vampire film guide will inspire you to a fresh viewing of an old favourite, and perhaps encourage the discovery of a neglected gem along the way.

Inside the signed edition of The Hammer Vampire Films you’ll find chapters on the following movies:

• The Brides of Dracula 1960 – with the atmosphere of a corrupt fairytale, this thrilling tale is filled with memorable moments and a dashing blond bombshell of a vampire fiend.
• The Kiss of the Vampire 1964 – cultured vampires and gaslighting are the order of the day as a familiar story is transplanted to a netherworld of revelling, ravening bloodsuckers.
• The Vampire Lovers 1970 – the first movie in the Karnstein trilogy saw the seductive Marcilla explore the softer side of parasitic bloodletting, in an erotically-charged extravaganza.
• Lust for a Vampire 1971 – those Karnsteins are at it again as Hammer vampire lore takes a walk on the camp side in the company of Yutte Stensgaard and Ralph Bates.
• Countess Dracula 1971 – this pseudo-historical thriller boasts a sterling central performance from Ingrid Pitt as the Countess Nadasdy, searching for the secret of youth at any cost.
• Twins of Evil 1971 – the Karnstein trilogy concludes in style as two beautiful sisters find themselves lured to the dark side – but which one will become the evil twin?
• Vampire Circus 1972 – the inhabitants of a quarantined village discover that the fair isn’t much fun after all, when a troupe of fascinating yet lethal vampire artistes arrive to ply their trade.
• Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter 1974 – this rip-roaring adventure was like nothing that came before or after, with a mix of action, fun and plenty of style.
• The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires 1975 – mix vampire hunting with martial arts and you have a recipe for one of the most distinctive vampire movies in the Hammer canon.

Our combination of engaging journalism, stunning presentation and sheer passion for the genre means the signed edition of The Hammer Vampire Films is another essential for Hammer fans, and a treasured addition to any vampire film fan’s collection.
