The newly revived Hammer studios have put the call out to film fans everywhere for their help in track down some lost scenes from their back catalog that were previously cut by a villain even deadlier than Dracula, the censors!
Hammer have identified nine missing scenes from six of their most beloved films, which back in the 50′s and 60′s were deemed too shocking, violent, sexy or gory for British audiences by the film censors. The film studio’s search is a worldwide one with the hope that uncut versions of these scenes may be owned by private collectors who own the original film reels in other countries.
Here’s the nine clips being sought, which are listed on their website;
The Reptile – an extended “knife in neck/snake bite” scene The Curse of Frankenstein – the “eyeball” and “head in acid bath” scenes The Mummy – “under-dressed maidens”, “tongue-cutting” and/or...
