Introduction to the
Fanex Interviews

Fanex Film Convention gave us the opportunity to meet many of the wonderful actors, directors and other creators of these Gothic horrors.

Veronica Carlson and
Virginia Wetherell

Veronica Carlson has become a valued friend to us and we cherish the day we first met her. Although Virginia Wetherell has several film credits to her name, she may not be as known to Hammer fans until they learn she is the widow of Hammer hero Ralph Bates. At FANEX we raised a nice bit of money for the Ralph Bates Cancer charity Virginia oversees.

Freddie Francis
I really can't think of enough wonderful things to say about Freddie Francis, but I shall never forget the stories I heard and the time I spent with this amazing talent.

Christopher Lee Is The Mummy; Peter Cushing Is Kharismatic
by Gary J. Svehla

Hammer Films and the Resurrection of Dracula
by Gary J. Svehla

Barbara Shelley
Barbara Shelley appeared in Baltimore at FANEX 15. She had many interesting stories about her Hammer days, and this was one of her only U.S. convention appearances.

Christopher Lee
Part 1
In 1999 Midnight Marquee published the U.S. version of Christopher Lee's autobiography. We brought him over to Monster Rally to sign copies.

Joyce Broughton on
Peter Cushing
Joyce Broughton was much more than Peter Cushing's secretary, indeed she was his friend and confident for many years. We were so pleased when Joyce came over from England in 1999 for the release of the Peter Cushing autobiography.

Hammer Composer
James Bernard
Mr. Bernard was such a gentle and talented soul, and his appearance at FANEX 8 was delightful . What an experience to hear him play some of his compositions in the hotel lobby. It was something we'll never forget.
