. . . Hammer not only gave British horror a brand name with which it could be identified around the world, they also changd the face of horror. Under the sound business sense and exploitation sensibilities of Sir James Carreras, Hammer grew from a tiny cottage industry to an expansive and profitable company. ---- - from Fragments of Fear, 1996
The latter part of the 1960s saw two new companies making a determined effort to wrest supremacy from Hammer in the British horror stakes. On the strength of DR TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS, Milton Subotsky's Amicus became a force to reckon with, while Tony Tenser, having quit Compton-Tekli in 1966, formed a company that would become just as formidable, Tigon. Both outfits struck co-production deals with Hammer's US equivalent, American International, a company which increasingly located its own horror productions in British Studios.
