Watching again tonight having played many Sherlock games

I’ve never thought The Hound of the Baskervilles is a very good detective mystery novel, but it is quite a good gothic adventure, which makes Hammer pretty much the perfect studio to bring it to the screen. This version doesn’t disappoint, with Terence Fisher’s direction leaning hard into that atmosphere, plus a superb cast, in particular Cushing and Morell as a fantastic Holmes and Watson. I wish they’d done a whole series starring them.
