- He worked as a production assistant at Hammer Films. His duties included assistant director, second unit director and production manager. For an upcoming project, the head of Hammer suggested that Sangster try his hand at writing; if he liked Sangster's script, Hammer would buy it. This began his career as a writer, the profession he is best known for. His early scripts were not only for Hammer, but some of Hammer's competitors as well.
- He sometimes wrote under the name John Sansom (Dracula - Prince des ténèbres (1966)) and James Sangster (Mais qui a tué tante Roo? (1972)).
- Ralph Bates appeared in the three films that Sangster directed: Les horreurs de Frankenstein (1970), La soif du vampire (1971) and Sueur froide dans la nuit (1972).
- [in 1996] All of a sudden I'm a cult figure. But it's all due to about five movies: a couple of Frankensteins, a couple of Draculas and a mummy.
- I wrote horror movies because it was my job. So, when someone asks me what were the influences that prompted me to be a "horror film" writer, I tell them it was Wages!
- [adding more sexual content to films in 60s/70s]: If sexy is going to add to the box office takings then it's okay by me.
- Frankenstein s'est échappé (1957) - $450
- X the Unknown (1956) - £200
