Save Bray Studios

Post by Kristatos »

Bray Studios, home to many of the classic Hammer horror films and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, among others, is threatened with demolition in order to make way for a housing development. The campaign to save it can be found at: http://braystudios.blogspot.com/.

I looked the studio up on the internet and they made some classic films and tv programmes there such as Red Dwarf. Hopefully they can keep it or use it for some arts related purpose.

It was also a music studio. Led Zep recorded many of their albums there,

I watched the second part A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss on BBC4 this evening where Gatiss was wandering around the grounds of Bray Studios!

I don't have a TV at the moment, so I didn't get to see it. Did it mention that they were threatened with demolition?
