Hammer Horror gaming - and a new film
They’re turning Hammer horror classics like HORROR OF DRACULA into videogames? Who knew? This sounds like fun:
Coolabi extends Hammer Horror line:
Following the success of last year’s Forbidden Terrortory board game, Britannia Games has extended its Hammer Horror range, with Coolabi rolling out a new interactive DVD game.
Vampire Terrortory allows fans to assist Professor Van Helsing on a quest to find Dracula. It contains clips of all the famous Hammer Vampire classics and is already doing well in HMV, Virgin and Forbidden Planet. It is also available through the Hammer website, www.hammerfilms.com.
“A working knowledge of the Hammer films will give you a good start, but the great things about the game is that you learn about Hammer films as you go along, so movie buffs should love it,” said Britannia Games sales director Ralph Patmore.
Speaking of Hammer, the British company - famous for its horror films in the ’50s and ’60s - is back in business after a two-decade hiatus, with a new production called BEYOND THE RAVE. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound as if it has much to do with the glorious classics of the past. It’s being designed to be split up for episodic broadcast on the Internet.
