German artwork for The Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb, which was also released on this day in 1964 🖤

Hammers fifth and arguably finest crack at creation. Superbly crafted grim gothic nihilism strikingly shot with the fantastic Cushing in cruel mode. 1969. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #hammerhorror #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

I love the Andre Morel love.... Warming us up for the true Hammer bearded god that is Andrew 'swoon' Keir.... Father Sandor just round the corner...

A busy week… Our feature episode all about The Plague Of The Zombies (1966) is now available wherever you grab your podcasts from… 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟

Superb analysis of one of Hammer’s finest hours. Some minor quibbles aside - Brook Williams‘s low wattage, underwritten female characters and yes, too much bongo playing - this is Hammer at its peak. Morrell and Carson are just fabulous. The first great zombie film.

1966 brought us one of the Hammer Big Hitters : The Plague of the Zombies! Andre Morell is back, and this time he's bringing a spade! Find out what @househammerpod.bsky.social thought about it here...

Our episode about THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES (1966), bongo playing ,movie zombies and cocktails is available wherever you get your podcasts from.

There's a few Hammer Films-related pieces up for grabs in my eBay store currently, with some more to come. Help a boy out and buy something! ebay.us/m/EC66PW

Jimmy Sangster's autobiography is titled "Do you want it good or Tuesday?". He managed to do both a surprising number of times. @househammerpod.bsky.social takes a look at the life and times of a genuine Hammer Hero.

If you think Hammer was only films then you're very wrong. Hammer Productions were also extensively involved in theatre in the 40s and 50s. I've spent this morning organising some of my collection of Hammer theatre programmes for a future project.

60s British youth culture meets cold war paranoia in one of Hammers smartest if overlooked films. Its not a fun ride but a rewarding, if sombre one. 1961. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #hammerhorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

The Q&A from the Curse of Frankenstein 4K premiere a few nights ago is now up on YT. #Hammer #Filmsky youtu.be/XFcwv3qCUVQ

#Letterboxd #LastFourWatched I don’t just watch #HammerFilms, it’s just been a weird week 🤪

It's about 18 months since @househammerpod.bsky.social reviewed early Jimmy Sangster thriller "The Snorkel". So here's this week's Hammer Bites on, well, snorkels!

1965, and it's the end of an era with the last Black and White Hammer film to date. But, never fear, a genuine Hollywood legend is here to ensure the era ends in style. The Nanny is waiting, but this one is no Mary Poppins... @househammerpod.bsky.social

ICYMI: Announcing the fifth(!) Hammer-Amicus Blogathon! #filmsky #horrorsky

Just what is Westminster Abbey doing in a Hammer film? Well, they're passing a bazillion volts of electricity through it for a start. But there's more to the building than that, as this week's Hammer Bites reveals... @househammerpod.bsky.social

Also, one of my pet character theories is - while Big Chris thought they were just shit scripts - there's a throughline cycle of Dracula getting resurrected, killed, resurrected that - when it gets to Satanic Rites - it makes perfect sense he's so done he wants to kill everyone with a plague

It’s a John Gilling joint too which makes it doubly unmissable! 👌

Do yerself a favour and watch it. Trevor Howard is so sinister here.

Speaking to the multi-talented David Huckvale recently about what he was working on, I suspected our amiable conversation might be challenged by his answer. ‘I’m writing a book about Dracula A.D. 1972’, David replied. My review: www.dvdchoices.co.uk

Comedy from the #HammerFilms vaults starring #EdwardRigby with #HenryMollison #MichaelWard and introducing #MercyHaystead in: 👀 WHAT THE BUTLER SAW (1950) 10:45am #TPTVsubtitles

Had no idea this was being repeated. Features me demonstrating how you can sing the titles of many James Bernard scores

You have to hand it to the Germans, they really knew how to stir it up with their lobby cards! Here’s a selection of them for The Brigand Of Kandahar (1965). The subject of our latest episode available wherever you get your podcasts from.

@househammerpod.bsky.social bid a fond farewell to Oliver Reed, Ronald Lewis and Yvonne Romain in "The Brigand of Kandahar." Come for the film, but stay for the curry!

You can hear me rattle on about it here: directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/i...

Mystery of the Mary Celeste (1935) appears to be the first Hammer film ever to be released. But the UK version has been lost, and only the cutdown, retitled US version The Phantom Ship (1937) remains. Feels like the missing 20 minutes was subplots and context, but they left in all the sea shanties.

Oh, crikey. Can't listen to this because I hate the sound of my own voice :D But it was great fun to chat to @amicushere.bsky.social about this wonderful film (Amicus' THE MIND OF MR SOAMES w/Terence Stamp).

This week’s Hammer Bites sees Adam looking back at the surprising story of a Hollywood legend that once worked on a Hammer film… 👉 bit.ly/Hammer_Robeson 👈 #HammerFilms #HammerBites

Just listened to this lovely interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly John's thoughts on Hammer's modern Draculas. What a loss. @househammerpod.bsky.social @cevni.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Like many, @househammerpod.bsky.social were saddened by the untimely passing of John J. Johnston. We always hoped he'd be back on the pod one day. As a small tribute, here's a special Hammer Bites episode, where John and @cevni.bsky.social talk all things Mummy. RIP John.
