Tigon British Film Productions, founded in the 1960s, became a key player in the British horror scene, often rivaling Hammer Films in ambition and style. Their horror films frequently combined psychological tension with graphic shock, pushing boundaries in gore and sexual content for the era. Titles like The Blood on Satan’s Claw and Witchfinder General exemplify Tigon’s penchant for blending period settings with unnerving, often violent storytelling. The company also embraced experimentation, incorporating folk horror elements and moral ambiguity that gave their films a distinct, unsettling edge. Overall, Tigon’s horror output carved a niche for itself in British cinema, offering audiences a darker, more transgressive alternative to mainstream genre fare.
