There was also The Nanny, written by Sangster, directed by Holt, starring Bette Davis, although it's not quite similar enough to Scream of Fear and Nightmare to fit in as a 3-piece. I am going to see Paranoiac when the disc arrives from Netflix. In your opinion, where does it rank when comapred to the other 2 of your trilogy?

For me, Scream of Fear is one of Hammer's best, a true jewel with amazing black and white cinematography.
Then I'd place Nightmare, also a powerful thriller, then only Paranoiac - a good Hammer film noir but far from being as unique as Scream of Fear.
only my opinion, of course !"Don't act, be !" (Kate Winslet)

Hammer made a dozen of these movies. Here's a list:

Ariane,
Your rankings are spot-on with mine. Scream of Fear is definitely the best of the trio, Nightmare comes in second, and Paranoiac a fairly distant third. Still, I like all three. So far Scream of Fear is my favorite Hammer film. -

The films mentioned are among what I like to call "Hammer's neat little black-and-white psychological thrillers" - most are very well-done with excellent performances. I've just re-watched NIGHTMARE and PARANOIAC - indeed, a fine double-bill!
