Several film studios were critically involved in creating the classics of British horror cinema. The most prominent among them include:

1. Hammer Film Productions: Perhaps the most iconic British horror studio, Hammer is renowned for its gothic horror films, including classics like "Dracula" and "Frankenstein." They began producing horror films in the 1950s and their influence and work in the genre are legendary. Hammer Film Productions on Wikipedia.

2. Amicus Productions: Not as universally recognized as Hammer, but Amicus also made significant contributions to British horror, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. They are known for their anthology horror films like "Tales from the Crypt" and "The House That Dripped Blood."

3. Tigon British Film Productions: Known for films such as "The Witchfinder General" and "The Blood on Satan's Claw," Tigon also contributed to the era of classic British horror cinema.

4. Bray Studios: While not a film production company, Bray Studios was the primary filming location for many of Hammer's productions and is closely associated with their output.

Other studios like Tempean, Anglo-Amalgamated, Compton, and Herman Cohen also had notable contributions but are less frequently highlighted compared to Hammer, Amicus, and Tigon.
