Femalefirst are giving you the chance to win a DVD box set of the entire Carry On collection, as well as special edition Carry On and Hammer stamps presentation pack.

Belly laughs and spine-chilling screams are brought together as Royal Mail celebrates the 50th anniversary of two timeless UK films on six cinematic stamps.

Released on 10th June, the stamps mark the 50th birthday of Carry On and the first Dracula movie by Hammer Films.

Classic Carry On and Hammer Films takes us back to 1958, a year which saw the release of Carry On Sergeant and Dracula; films produced on shoestring budgets, but which kick-started a series of follow-ups and a host of imitators.

The six stamps feature original cinema posters of six of the best-known Carry On and Hammer Horror productions and alternate between the two genres.

Julietta Edgar, Head of Special Stamps, Royal Mail, said: �Carry On and Hammer Films had a huge impact on audiences around the world. The stamp issue celebrates and unifies the two very different film genres that spanned decades of British cinema and remain popular today.�
