Terence Fisher
Terence Fisher, 1904-1980, British film director.
Fisher directed such offerings as Stolen Face (1952) and
Spaceways (1953) for Hammer
Films before being offered The Curse of Frankenstein
(1957), in which he worked with Peter
Cushing. Later projects included Dracula (1958),
The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958, again with Cushing),
The Mummy (1959), The Man Who Could Cheat Death
(1959), and The Brides of Dracula (1960). The Phantom
of the Opera (1962) was a commercial failure, and Hammer
dropped Fisher for a time, but he returned to direct
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969).
