ROYAL MAIL TO ISSUE HAMMER STAMPS
Merchandise News 07.01.2008

The BBC reporting

 

Whilst details have not been released yet, it is understood by unofficialhammerfilms.com that there will be one set of three Carry On and three Hammer Horror stamps. As rights for the Carry On films are held with Canal Plus, we would expect the Hammer imagery to either come from the Canal Plus titles, or to commemorate the original Hammer horror trilogy of The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy.

 

The set is released on June 10th..

 

We'll post more details and imagery when we get it.
