Because Hammer Films isn’t satisfied enough with me spending all of my money on their incredible movie releases, so now they are putting out books of un-made movie scripts, in what looks like just gorgeous editions!!! They will be releasing an Official Script Collection, “exploring Hammer’s films through the original scripts, drafts and production documents that reveal what happened behind the scenes.”

The Unquenchable Thirst of Dracula was a script written by Hammer producer / writer Anthony Hinds that never saw the light of day. I can’t say I’ve heard of that title before, but I know there were a couple of unmade scripts that were based in India, so maybe this is one of them. The book also contains the screenplay for Dracula: High Priest of Vampires, yet another unmade Dracula script. From the photos posted on Hammer Films’ website, this looks like quite the treat to those that not only collect Hammer Films memorabilia, but also for unproduced scripts.

Set as follow ups to Legend of the Golden Vampires (1974), this volume contains information about Anthony Hinds, as well as the screenplay for Dracula: High Priest of Vampires, a partial first draft and the final screenplay for The Unquenchable Thirst of Dracula, as well as the Pre-Final Screenplay Corrections.

It 312-page hardcover script book comes with a high-end, foil-debossed slipcase. It has brand new artwork by Graham Humphreys, a new article on Anthony Hinds by Dick Klemenson from Little Shoppe of Horrors, and a new article on unmade Hammer films by Barry Forshaw, author of British Gothic Cinema.

While priced at $70, I’m sure these would love just lovely sitting in my Hammer section of my library, but just a little high priced for me at the moment. But I do love what they are doing, by archiving some very important information and memorabilia for fans.
