9. 6/10. The second greatest adaption of Sherlock Holmes' greatest story. Pete Cushing is pure genius here as the world's greatest detective with Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville and Andre Morell as Dr John Watson. The atmosphere is just as chilling as the 1939 version was. It seems as if terror's ready to strike from around every corner at our heroic duo. Hammer Studios does an excellent job with their own take on literature's most famous detective in his most famous story.
