The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb
When European Egyptologists Dubois, Giles and Bray discover the tomb of the Egyptian prince Ra, American entrepreneur and investor Alexander King insists on shipping the treasures and sarcophagus back to England for tour and display. Once there, someone with murderous intent has discovered the means of waking the centuries dead prince...
Scream of Fear
After narrowly surviving an accident in which she nearly drowned, the wheelchair bound Penny Appleby returns home to live with her widowed step-mother Jane on the French Riviera. She begins to question her sanity after several times seeing her father's corpse around the house and its grounds, and enlists the help of the friendly chauffeur Bob while attending Doctor Gerrard acts in a suitably sinister manner. No one is who they seem in this tale of intrigue and suspense.
The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll
Dr. Henry Jekyll experiments with scientific means of revealing the hidden, dark side of man and releases a murderer from within himself.
The Gorgon
In early-twentieth-century middle-Europe, villagers are literally becoming petrified. Although the authorities try to hush the matter up it is apparent that at the full moon, Medusa leaves her castle lair and anyone looking on her face is turned to stone. When this fate befalls a visitor, experts from the University of Leipzig arrive to try and get to the bottom of it all.

Summary: Classic Hammer Horror Collection!
Comment: Curse of the Mummys Tomb & The Gorgon are
two all time classic monster movies ever
made! Curse is the best Mummy movie period.
Both movies are well written & acted with
great settings & atmosphere. The Mummy has
some humor thrown but is very much horror
but well done. The Gorgon is just awesome
with it's Universal style story & settings.
Peter Cushing is great as the doctor of the
village & Christopher Lee shows up for a
small but effective role. The ending is
one of the greatest of Hammer movies like
Horror of Dracula. Scream of Fear is a very
well made gothic type movie with twist &
turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.
The ending is very well done. Jeckyl & Hide
remake again with Lee is very well done and
acted but not my favorite. It's worth a look.
This is one of the best Hammer collections &
worth the price of admission to your collection.

Summary: Icons Of Horror
Comment: The Icons Of Horror from Hammer Films DVD-Excellent! I think Hammer Films have the best horror movies period.
Customer Rating:
Summary: 3 out of 4 never before DVD released features from Hammer
Comment: The following aspects are enough to highly recommend anyone interested in horror movies from the sixties to get a copy of this compilation: (1) three of the titles included in this package have been previously unavailable in DVD (scream of fear, the gorgon, the two faces of Dr. Jekyll); I am aware of Spanish and British DVD previous releases of "the curse of the mummy's tomb; (2) restoration and digital transfer is excellent in all 4 movies included; (3) you get Christopher Lee playing roles in "scream of fear", "the gorgon", and "the two faces of Dr. Jekyll"; (4) you get Peter Cushing confronting C. Lee in "the gorgon".
While "the curse of the mummy's tomb", "the gorgon", and "the two faces of Dr. Jekyll" highlight the classical monster flicks from Hammer, "scream of fear" is a little gem that departs from this pattern. This less known movie is a black & white, well acted, scripted and storied mystery and suspense movie that will keep you in your seat despite the characteristic low pace of movies from this time. So, getting "scream of fear" in this package is probably another good reason to get a copy the whole thing. English subtitles are provided for all 4 features. Enjoy.

Summary: Icons of Horror (Hammer Films)
Comment: I have found this 2nd release of Hammer films (Icons of Adventure being the 1st one) highly entertaining and in line with the gothic appeal created by Hammer in the late 50's.These horror movies are long sought after and Hammer fans have been screaming for their release for the last twenty years. Now, if we could get other movies such as: SHE who must be obeyed, Twins of Evil as well as a Dracula set(7 movies) and a Frankenstein set (6 movies) I truly would be in 7th heaven! Thank you Hammer Films and keep them coming!
