Tigon British Film Productions

Tigon British Film Productions or Tigon was a film production and distribution company founded by Tony Tenser in 1966.
It is best remembered for its horror films, particularly ''Witchfinder General'' (directed by Michael Reeves, 1968) and ''The Blood on Satan's Claw'' (directed by Piers Haggard, 1971). Other Tigon films include ''The Creeping Flesh'', ''The Sorcerers'' and ''Doomwatch'' (1972), based on the TV series of the same name.
A 1990s book by Andy Boot (Fragments of Fear) highlighted the importance of Tigon and Tony Tenser to the British horror genre but contained a number of factual errors, including the misidentification of a number of films as Tigon productions. Unfortunately, this misidentification continues to this day.
Tigon was based at Hammer House in Wardour Street, London, and released a wide range of films from sexploitation (''Zeta One'', to an acclaimed television film of August Strindberg's ''Miss Julie'' (1972) starring Helen Mirren. The largest part of their output, however, was made up by low-budget horror films in direct competition for audiences with Hammer Film Productions and Amicus Productions.
In February 2005, a DVD box set of Tigon films was released by Anchor BayUK. The box set contains only the following films: Witchfinder General / The Body Stealers / The Haunted House of Horror / The The Blood on Satan's Claw / The Beast in the Cellar / Virgin Witch) and consists of UK rather than US prints, in Region 2 - PAL format.
The same year, 2005, FAB press in the UK published John Hamilton's biography of Tony Tenser, a comprehensive look at the career of Tigon's founder and the man dubbed 'the Godfather of British Exploitation.' Hamilton had access to production files, diaries and personal correspondence, as well as recording a number of exclusive interviews with the likes of Vernon Sewell, Michael Armstrong, Christopher Lee, Ian Ogilvy and Peter Sasdy. He also recorded over 18 hours of interviews with Tony Tenser himself, all of which goes to create an in depth look not only at the making of the films but the machinations involved with running a film company. The book was critically acclaimed in a number of newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times and The Independent, as well as Film Review and SPFX (the latter dubbed it the "best single volume history ever written on British horror."
Hamilton has gone on to write a number of articles on Tigon film productions published in magazines like The Darkside, Shivers and Little Shoppe of Horrors.
