Will probably get a lot of bad flack from this comment but I always thought the Hammer "pretenders" were better than Hammer itself -- be it Corman, Amicus etc.

I agree with you on some of them for sure. I felt most of Hammer's sci-fi efforts were weak, and I didn't care for their contemporary horrors like Dracula A.D. 1972. Amicus' "The Skull" and "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" were the best of those type films IMO.

i think some of the tigon were up there with hammer things like blood on satans claw,the creeping flesh etc also some good independent ones like the wicker man,horror express,death line,fright etc.

Wicker Man is fantastic; I like The Creeping Flesh and Witchfinder General, too.
