Unfortunately, Hammer has several US distributors for their films - mostly Warner Bros, Columbia, and (ironically) Universal, so a definitive set would be unlikely. Even films in the same series, like the Frankenstein and Dracula cyles, have different distribution studios and home video deals. |

Yeah, I know - it's a pain to track certain titles down because the respective studios that release the various films discontinue them after awhile. The Warner Bros. ones were easy to get - but some of the MGM released ones are tough to get due to being out of print. Not sure, but I think the Paramount released ones may be out of print as well... But alas...one can always dream |
