There’s much more to British horror than the films of the justifiably popular Hammer studios – the Seventies was the heyday of truly independent film production in Britain and this decade marked the peak of creativity for the genre.

Notable British horror films as highlighted in Ten Years of Terror: British Horror Films of the 1970s (FAB Press, 2001), edited by Harvey Fenton and David Flint.
