       Original Vintage, Rare, Hammer Films Scripts


 

All items offered are genuine release (usually 1st), old, cinema movie items and so had a 'life' before sale, so unlikely ever to be mint.

This item:  An original, vintage Hammer set used script for this excellent Hammer psychological horror movie, dated 10th July, , 1962. The script itself is card covered and has 109 pages. This script was used on set as is indicated by some writing / lines drawn in the script, as well as a number of pages with scrawled drawings especially to do with 'CLIFF TOP' sequences in the movie.  Of unusual interest, is a discovery I think unique to this site is that to the back cover is written in pencil the name 'Ken Baker' .  Ken Baker's name does not appear on the title credits to the movie, nor on any reference to the Paranoiac movie, yet it is suggested, via the evidence of this script, that he was involved in certain sequences, perhaps an early try-out for Hammer? Ken Baker was employed by Hammer for Mutiny On the Buses, Love Thy Neighbour and Hammer House of Horror, Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense episodes, so such an early association is an interesting find. (see Hammer Complete by Howard Maxford Pages 30). Such vintage scripts (especially association, set-used ones) are rarely offered and are a great addition to any collection. Unique / Rare
