One of the rarest and most desirable UK Quads from the genre. Hammer Productions' "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1959). A British gothic horror mystery film set on the Cornish moors directed by Terence Fisher and based on the Sherlock Holmes novel of the same title by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It stars Hammer regulars Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes and Sir Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville. This superb country of origin UK Quad is from the first British release and features some fantastic horror artwork of the titular hound's snarling head and blood-soaked fangs. With imagery that's largely grey-toned, the bright red title really stands out. This displays and presents very well and benefits from conservation linen-backed with light restoration. The fold lines have been touched in and flattened out and are almost undetectable.
