Jimmy Sangster

Jimmy Sangster (born 2 December 1927) is an English screenwriter and director, known for his work for Hammer Film Productions, for whom he scripted many of their most successful horror films, including "The Curse of Frankenstein" and "Dracula" (US: "Horror of Dracula").

Sangster originally worked as a production assistant at the studio, as well as assistant director, second unit director, and production manager. He later turned to direction with "The Horror of Frankenstein" and "Lust for a Vampire" (both 1970) for the studio, but with far less success. His third (and last) film as director was 1972's "Fear in the Night", which resurrected the psychological woman-in-peril thriller Sangster had begun with his script for "Taste of Fear" in 1961. All three of Sangster's films as director featured the actor Ralph Bates, one of Hammer's best-known actors of the latter period of the company.

Sangster scripted and produced two films for Bette Davis, "The Nanny" (1965) and "The Anniversary" (1968).

Sangster has one Son, Mark James Sangster, and two grandchildren, Claire and Ian Sangster
