The Times hails him as “one of the British film industry’s most influential and self-effacing talents” and “a chief architect of the lurid phenomenon known as Hammer Horror.” His taboo-smashing screenplays did far more than just grab audiences by their collective throat; Jimmy Sangster took horror from creaky melodrama into a world of sociopathic protagonists, dark humor, sexual menace and shocking violence to create the modern horror thriller.

Celebrate the release of our epic SANGSTER DIRECTS HAMMER Collection – and the man who revolutionized the genre – with this new Severin Hall of Fame pin designed by our friends at Pixel Elixir.
