Tigon 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).

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 adaptation of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie (1972) starring Helen Mirren. The largest part of its output, however, was made up by low-budget horror films in direct competition for audiences with Hammer Film Productions and Amicus Productions.

The selected filmography below concentrates on Tigon productions with Hammer connections.
