Please also note, Hamer also produced many films under different companies shelf companies) films like SHADOW OF THE CAT, while not labelled Hammer, was made by them under a different name. And thats where it gets trickier, the list seems to be growing every time I do more research.

Ari, did Amicus actually have any relationship with Hammer or were they just a competitor that used the same actors?

A Horror Company Rises From the Grave: Hammer Makes ‘The Woman in Black’ With Daniel Radcliffe
New York Times (January 29, 2012)

FEW names in horror command more respect than Hammer.

The director John Carpenter has said that seeing “The Curse of Frankenstein,” the first gothic hit by Hammer Film Productions, as a kid transformed him. Another esteemed veteran of the genre, Joe Dante, said the same movie lived up to its tag line promise to “haunt you forever.” And Martin Scorsese has described an obscure sequel, “Frankenstein Created Woman,” as “close to something sublime.”

What makes the enduring reputation of Hammer, the tiny British fantasy factory, even more impressive is that the company all but disappeared right as the horror genre boomed. Hammer struggled financially through much of the 1970s, ceasing production by the end of the decade. What’s more surprising perhaps is that since then reviving Hammer, built on sequels and remakes, has proven far more difficult than reanimating Frankenstein’s monster.....

strangely i have seen 3 of the 4 hammer resurrected title without even noticing they were hammer!
didnt much fancy the resident, but i thought wake wood was quite apt as a hammer production. had the feel of a good tv movie :)
