Horror Film Specialists
Hammer Film Productions
Hammer films is a small British Horror film company, it was founded in 1934, and mostly helped produce Gothic like films, but in later years diversified into the whole market including Action and even comedy. Hammer films helped produced many famous films such as the Mummy, Dracula and Frankenstein. A benefit of having a Horror specific company is that they would have expertise in the area and know how to excite the audience and keep the scenes tense, this may be better than using a company that diversifies as they may be larger and can produce more technological films but they may lack the expertise of a specialist company to produce a great Horror film.
Non-Horror Specialists
There are many production companies that do not diversify in a certain genre and they do vary in size. Although they are not specific many of them have created many famous and successful Horror films.
Dimension Films
Dimension films has created many very successful Horror films such as Scream 1, Scream 2, Scream 3, Halloween, Children of Corn, Mimic and Hell raiser. As you can see Dimension has created many well known Horror films, but it has also created many other famous films such as Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Starsky & Hutch, Spy Kids and Bad Santa.
